Inorganic Nonmetallic Materials Engineering

Known as "the cradle of iron and steel engineers”, USTB has been ranked among the most influential key national universities sponsored by the Chinese MOE. The university is renowned for its English-medium engineering courses, such as bachelor’s Materials Science and Engineering, master’s Management Science and Engineering, Information and Telecommunication Engineering. Other English-taught courses are also available,for instance, master’s MBA and Enterprise Management. In addition, USTB focuses on international cooperation, establishing partnership with nearly 90 foreign universities from different countries and regions. USTB would make your stay in China a valuable one.

The field of Inorganic materials is the one of the three major fields in the materials research area. With the rapid development of high technology, the research and the development of inorganic materials have been paid more and more attention at home and abroad. The specialty focuses on cultivating high - level engineering talents who are capable of carrying out the works for Research, Design and Development of Structured Ceramics, Special Refractories, Inorganic Functional Materials and Energy Materials. Besides high skills in the mathematics, physics and chemistry, students have been offered fine training in computer and research approach of Inorganic materials. The required courses include: Silicate Physical Chemistry, Solid Materials Structure Introduction, Thermodynamics Introduction and Kiln Design. Other related or elective programs such as Structured Ceramics, Refractories have been provided to students for broadening the extension of their knowledge. Main research directions are: Structured Ceramics (including High Temperature Structured Ceramics, Gradient Functional Materials) and Computer Aided Design for Special Refractories, Preparation Processing, Structures, Properties and Obdurability of Advanced Materials, Combustion Compound Theories and Processing Technology, Solid Electrolyte Sensor, High Energy Fuel Batteries, Inorganic Smart Materials, New Processing Research for Superfine Powders and Nano Materials. The graduates from this specialty have been required by the scientific research institutes, universities and enterprises, who can carry out works of research, teaching, computer software development and management in the Inorganic Nonmetallic Materials research area.

The University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB) was founded in 1952 following the amalgamation of the best departments in related fields of five eminent universities as a result of a nationwide reorganization of the higher education system. Over half a century of remarkable growth, it has developed into one of the most influential key national universities sponsored by the Chinese Ministry of Education. USTB is renowned for its study of metallurgy and materials science. Its main focus is on engineering;at the same time it maintains a balanced programme of science, management, humanities, economics and law. It was one of the first universities to be entitled to establish state-approved graduate schools and was chosen to be part of China's "211 Project", which is designed to develop a hundred first rate universities in the 21st century. In 2006 it was also selected as one of a select group of pilot universities for the "Platform for National Advanced Disciplines Innovation" program.

USTB values greatly and will for ever cherish its long tradition of being "Rigorous in Learning and Research and Venerating Practice". Over 100,000 graduates are contributing to society all over the world; most of them have become professionals and joined our national elites in the field of politics, economics, science and education. As metallurgy and materials science are the two disciplines for which it is most renowned, USTB is also known as "the cradle of iron and steel engineers" .

USTB is now working hard towards its goal of becoming one of the top-ranking research universities in China and an internationally renowned higher education institute with its own distinguishing features. While retaining its current leading position in metallurgy and materials sciences, it is making great efforts to develop other areas and to achieve a balanced disciplinary structure in engineering and technology, science, management, economics, social sciences, humanities and law in the near future.
