北京科技大学于1952年由北洋大学等5所国内著名大学的部分系科组建而成，现已发展成为以工为主，工、理、管、文、经、法等多学科协调发展的教育部直属全国重点大学，是全国首批正式成立研究生院的高等学校之一。1997年5月，学校首批进入国家“211工程”建设高校行列。2006年，学校成为国家“优势学科创新平台”建设项目试点高校。
建校五十多年来，学校为社会培养各类人才10万余人，大部分已成为国家政治、经济、科技、教育等领域尤其是冶金、材料工业的栋梁和骨干，学校因此被誉为“钢铁摇篮”。罗干、刘淇、徐匡迪、黄孟复等党和国家领导人，31名中国科学院或中国工程院院士，以及宝钢、鞍钢、首钢、武钢、方正、联想等著名的企业领导人都曾在校学习或工作。
学校现由土木与环境工程学院、冶金与生态工程学院、材料科学与工程学院、机械工程学院、信息工程学院、经济管理学院、文法学院、应用科学学院、外国语学院，以及研究生院、体育部、管庄校区、天津学院、延庆分校组成。有43个本科专业，109个硕士学科点，另有MBA（含EMBA）、MPA和19个领域的工程硕士专业学位授予权，48个博士学科点，8个博士后科研流动站，在冶金、材料、矿业、机械等领域的12个全国重点学科学术水平蜚声中外。2010年10月，在籍各类学生总数3万余人。
学校拥有一支治学严谨的师资队伍，1600多名专任教师中，有中国科学院院士7人，中国工程院院士3人，“长江学者奖励计划”特聘教授10人、讲座教授2人，国家杰出青年科学基金获得者13人次。教授343人，副教授504人。
学校科研实力雄厚，现有2个国家级重点（专业）实验室，1个国家工程研究中心，13个部委级重点实验室和工程研究中心。据教育部统计，两期“211工程”建设期间，学校获国家科技进步一等奖4项，并列全国高校第一。
学校瞄准世界前沿，加强国际合作，与德国亚琛工业大学、美国橡树岭国家实验室、英国牛津大学等80余所著名大学和科研机构建立了合作关系，聘请包括日本东北大学校长井上明久教授在内的500多名外籍专家担任名誉教授、兼职教授。
学校是教育部批准的具有接收国家公派奖学金留学生资格的大学，自1954年以来已有来自113个国家的3600余名留学生在我校学习或科研。2010年10月，我校包括公派奖学金学生和自费生在内的注册留学生总数达到700人。
面向新世纪，学校的发展目标是：把北京科技大学建设成为以工为主，工、理、管、文、经、法等多学科协调发展，规模适度，特色突出，国内一流，国际知名的高水平研究型大学。
The University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB) was founded in 1952 following the amalgamation of the best departments in related fields of the 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 national key universities under the direct supervision of the Ministry of Education of China. USTB is extremely famous for its study of metallurgy and materials science. While engineering is the focus, it maintains a balanced program of science, management, humanities, economics and law.
In 1997, USTB became one of the first 33 universities in China that are entitled to establish state-approved graduate schools. In the same year it was listed in the first group of universities 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, USTB was selected as one of the few pilot universities for the “Platform for National Advanced Disciplines Innovation” program.
USTB comprises 9 schools. Among its teaching staff of 1600 there are 343 professors and 504 associate professors, including seven members of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and three members of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. With a total enrolment of 30,000 students, it offers 43 undergraduate programs, 109 master’s programs, 48 doctoral programs and 8 post-doctoral research fields. Besides 12 key national disciplines in the fields of metallurgy, materials science and engineering, mechanical engineering and mining, it is also home to 2 key national laboratories, a national engineering research center and thirteen key ministerial laboratories and research centers.
USTB is keen on international cooperation in research, academic and educational exchanges. It has so far entered into partnership with nearly 80 foreign universities and institutes from different countries and regions, and invited more than 500 world-renowned academics such as Professor Akihisa INOUE, President of Tohoku University, as its honorary professors.
USTB is engaged in the Chinese Government Scholarship Program and has been accepting international students since 1954. More than 3600 students from 113 countries and regions have been studying and doing research in USTB. As of the fall of 2010, there are around 700 international students enrolled, including exchange students, national scholarship and self-financed students.
Now USTB is working hard towards its goal of becoming one of the top-ranking research-based 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 effort to develop other areas and to achieve a balanced disciplinary structure of engineering and technology, science, management, economics, social sciences, humanities and law.
