University of Science and Technology Beijing (Chinese:北京科技大学, Pinyin: Běijīng KēJÌ Dàxúe), formerly as Beijing Steel and Iron Institute (北京钢铁学院), is a national key university in Beijing, China. USTB is prestigious for its study of metallurgy and materials science.
Today the University has large departments in physics, chemistry, engineering, economics, and English. One of the largest departments is the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. The University has about 20,000 undergraduate students and about 2,000 PhD and graduate students. The Department of Materials Science and Engineering has about 500 students in the undergraduate program and about 200 students in various graduate and PhD programs. The department has about 60 professors of which many have built their scientific career in the US, Germany, and the UK. Owing to its origin as a former iron and steel university the university has one of the strongest departments in the field of materials science with strong international visibility and reputation particularly in the field of physical metallurgy and metal physics of the microstructures of structural and functional materials.
In 1997, USTB was selected into the first tier of universities for China's 211 Project (meaning the development of 100 world class universities in the 21st century for China).
