An Introduction to
School of Computer Science and Technology

The forerunner of College of Computer Science and Technology (CST College) was a teaching and research section, set up in Department One at the beginning of 1970s. In 1985 the Department of Computer Engineering was founded by combining Radio Engineering Department with Computer Center. It went on to establish itself as CST College in combination with the National Key Laboratory of Switching Technology and Telecommunication Networks.

CST College is the biggest one among the 13 colleges of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. Among more than 130 faculty members, one is academician, six are tutors for doctorate students, twenty-three are professors, thirty-four are associate professors. Especially, one professor is engaged as Yangtze Honorary Professor. Two professors are winners of Distinguished Young Scholars. Another two are winners of Trans-Century Talents of Ministry of Education. Among the teachers younger than 45 years old, 48 percent of them have Doctor Degrees and 47percent have Master Degree. Every year CST College recruits 400 college students, 200 graduate students, 30 doctorate students, 300 graduate students of engineering.

The Set-up of CST College is as follows:

Department of Computer Engineering (including Software Engineering, Computer Application Technology, Computer Architecture, Computer Network and Telecommunication Technology)

National Key Lab (including three research centers: Intellectual Network, Network Management and Broad Band Network.)

Laboratory Center (including Computer Architecture Lab, Software Engineering Lab, Computer Network Lab, Multimedia Lab and Programming Control Switching Lab)

Four Key Laboratories of the Ministry of Information Industry and Ministry of Education
Eight Cooperative Laboratories within and outside CST College
Eight Bases of Technology Transfer


CST College has a complete system of majors and talent training program. It offers Bachelor Degree of Computer Science and Technology, Master Degree of Computer Application, Master degree of Computer Software and Doctor Degree of Computer Application. The Software College of BUPT, set up by CST College together with Information Engineering Department and Science College, was ratified by the Ministry of Education in 2001 with its special feature of the training of the engineers of communication software. The Software College has become one of the 33 pilot colleges of the kind of the country. The teachers of CST College publish about 200 papers every year and the research funds reach about RMB 2,500,000 yuan every year.
The goal of CST College is to foster talents with the knowledge of both computer and communication: experts in both computer communication and communication software. Because the students graduating from CST College can meet the demands of hot job fields in both communication and computer science, there have been more job vacancies than the students available in recent years. 95 percent of the students have been paid a very high salary by well-known companies in the fields of computer and communication technology both at home and abroad. CST College provides a good environment for experiment and practice: Laboratory Center and other laboratories of respective professor own one Tandem fault tolerant computer, 15 advanced servers including IBM RS600 / 44 p-170, COMPAQ ALPHA SERVER 4100, SUN E450 and etc, 30 SUN workstations, 500 micro-computers, two switching systems (AXE10,S1240), all kinds of hardware systems, 90 interface experiment instruments, the whole set of software engineering environment tools and communication software developing platform for special use. Eleven 3 Com programming control switching systems direct all computers of laboratory centers through highway network local campus (direct CERNET) to ensure the bandwidth to reach 100Mpbs, and make every computer reach the bandwidth of more than 10Mpbs.
The Motto of CST is as follows: Honest, Creative, Cooperative and Developing
We are looking forward with great passion to cooperating with the enterprises and undertakings at home and abroad in such fields as teaching, scientific research and technology transfer.
