The School of Sciences at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT) is a science and engineering integrative school. We base our curriculum on mathematics and physics principles. The school enrolls undergraduates, master's degree candidates and doctorate students. Our aim is to develop their scientific and engineering talents with a firm grounding in scientific theory. We have a strong contingent of doctorate supervisors, postgraduate supervisors, full-time professors, associate professors and senior engineers as the forefront of our teaching staff.

The School of Sciences has a general party branch office, the chairperson's office, and administrative offices. We have two departments, Department of Physics and Department of Mathematics. Within these departments there is a physics lab, a computer lab, a chemistry teaching and a research division.

Guided by the spirit of "Dedication, Initiative, Unity and Devotion", the School of Sciences has made remarkable achievements in undergraduate, master's degree and graduate teaching and research. The teaching tasks of the School are divided into two parts. The first is to teach physics and mathematics as basic courses for all undergraduates as well as to teach degree courses for all postgraduates. The second is to undertake the teaching of specialized courses for students majoring in physics or mathematics.

In recent years, the School of Sciences has undertaken a large number of research projects at the national, provincial and ministerial levels. These include projects for the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the National "863" High Technology Project, the National "973" Project and projects for the Foundation for University Key Teachers by the Ministry of Education. These are but a few of the great research achievements our school has made. Within our school we have published 150 research papers in well-known national and international academic journals. The international authoritative Science Citation Index (SCI) has cited over twenty of these papers and more than fifty have been cited in the Engineering Index (EI). It is worth mentioning that the Optical Solutions Communications Lab attached to Department of Physics, led by Professor Yang Bojun, has received successively the third class Science and Technology Progress Award from China Ministry of Information Industry, the third class National Science and Technology Progress Award and the second class State Commission Award for Science and Technology Progress. The School of Sciences is full of vigor and vitality. The School's undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and research have entered a new stage of innovative development.
