Location and History

North China University of Technology (NCUT), located on the western side of Beijing, is a multi-disciplinary university that combines the natural sciences and engineering with liberal arts, economics, management and law. Growing out of the former state-run Peking Advanced Vocational School of Technology, founded in 1946, NCUT has undergone dramatic changes ever since. In 1978, with the approval of the State Council, NCUT began to offer full undergraduate degree programs. In 1985, it was renamed as the North China University of Technology.

Teaching Lifeline

A quality education is the university’s lifeline. Teaching is a primary focus at NCUT and the center of its activities, while the university also emphasizes the importance of research and the contribution research can make both to the educational environment and to address local and national needs. The undergraduate program offers a full range of undergraduate degrees; there are also numerous graduate degree programs, as well as continuing education programs. The academic education is complemented with moral, intellectual, physical and aesthetic training in order to build well-rounded students prepared to meet the challenges of modern society.

NCUT Athletics



In athletics, NCUT has award-winning baseball and softball teams. Since 1998, the baseball team has won championships for 5 years and visited Japan in 2000. The Softball team has won 2 championships. In addition, the male basketball team, male volleyball team, and female Ping Pong team have always been in top 3 among universities in Beijing.


Future Plan



The continuing trend toward globalization in higher education challenges NCUT, its faculty, staff, administrators, and students, to become even more attractive to the educational environment, through both teaching and research. The demands of globally competitive job markets, emerging technologies, and human factors demand that NCUT remain at the leading edge of developments in the sciences, technology, the arts, business, and the many other areas in which the university has built its reputation and expertise. The challenge is real but so are the commitment and the resources at NCUT to meet those challenges.
