There are 20 universities in China offering materials science and engineering, among which Tsinghua University ranks first, University of Science and Technology Beijing ranks second and South China University of Technology ranks third.

Materials science and engineering.

In the Catalogue of Disciplines and Specialties for Granting Doctoral and Master's Degrees and Training Postgraduates, formulated and promulgated by the Discipline Evaluation Group of the State Council Academic Degrees Committee, materials science and engineering belong to one of the first-class disciplines of engineering, and there are three two disciplines, namely, materials physics and chemistry, materials science and materials processing engineering. The major of materials science and engineering is to study the composition, structure, processing technology, performance and application of materials.

. In modern science and technology, materials science is one of the three pillars of national economic development. The main professional directions are metal materials, inorganic nonmetallic materials, polymer materials, wear-resistant materials, surface strengthening, material processing engineering and so on. Universities with strong academic strength in China include Tsinghua University, University of Science and Technology Beijing, Wuhan University of Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology and Nanjing University of Science and Technology &; , Tianda, Northwestern Polytechnical University, etc.
