According to the official website of Tsinghua University Institute of Information Science and Technology in May 2020, the Institute of Information Science has three research entities, two national engineering technology research centers and four national engineering laboratories, three key laboratories of the Ministry of Education, two engineering research centers of the Ministry of Education, 1 Ministry of Education and Microsoft Key Laboratory, 1 Institute jointly approved by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Commerce. There are 1 high-tech innovation centers in colleges and universities in Beijing, 1 key laboratories in Beijing, 3 engineering laboratories in Beijing, 3 engineering research centers (institutions of higher learning) in Beijing, 1 international scientific and technological cooperation bases in Beijing, and 1 key laboratories in the press and publishing industry. It is one of the six national research centers approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology. After more than 50 years of unremitting efforts, it has developed into a computer department with strong comprehensive strength in teaching and scientific research in the field of computer science in China, and plays an important role in the development of China's computer industry and even the national economic construction. From 65438 to 0996, the Department of Computer Science ranked first in the national evaluation of computer science sponsored by the State Council Academic Degree Office, and was among the first batch in China to obtain the qualification to recruit and train graduate students according to the first-class discipline; In 2002, in the evaluation of the overall level of the first-level disciplines carried out by the National Center for the Development of Degree and Postgraduate Education, the Computer Department ranked first in the country in four sub-indicators (academic team, personnel training and academic reputation). In 2006 and 20 12, in the overall level evaluation of the first-level disciplines carried out by the National Center for the Development of Degree and Postgraduate Education, the total score was 100, ranking first.

The computer department has three first-level disciplines: computer science and technology, software engineering and cyberspace security. Among them, computer science and technology belong to the first batch of national key first-class disciplines in China. This first-level discipline includes computer system structure, computer software and theory, and computer application technology. These three two disciplines are national key two disciplines, and they are one of the few two disciplines units in China.

The Department of Computer Science includes the most comprehensive disciplines of computer science in China, including high-performance computers and processors, parallel and distributed processing, storage systems, big data and cloud computing, computer networks, network and information system security, system performance evaluation, theoretical computer science, data engineering and knowledge engineering, software engineering, computer and VLSI design automation, software theory and system, biological computing and quantum computing, artificial intelligence, intelligent control and robotics, human-computer interaction and pervasive computing.
