HISTORY OF USTB

While officially found in 1952, initially known as the Beijing Institute of Iron and Steel Technology, our university can trace its roots back to the 1890s when the first mining and metallurgy disciplines in the modern history of China were founded by the Beiyang Western Academy. Over the past 60 years the university has grown and evolved, transforming from an engineering-focused institution to a multidisciplinary university with global characteristics.
