The University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) is a prominent university nationally and enjoys an excellent reputation worldwide. It was established by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in 1958 in Beijing, and moved to its current location in Hefei, the capital city of Anhui province in 1970. CAS integrated its resources with those of USTC to educate top talents in cutting-edge, interdisciplinary science and technology. The establishment of USTC was hailed as "a great event in the history of education and science of China".

USTC is one of the most important innovation centers in China. It is the only university in China operating two national labs, the National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory and the Hefei National Laboratory for Microscale Physical Science. It also jointly operates two national "big science" facilities along with CAS institutes, the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak and the Steady High Magnetic Field of the High Magnetic Field Laboratory.

USTC is a world leader in fields such as quantum manipulation, nanotechnology, high-temperature superconductivity, speech processing, fire science and life science. It is rated as one of the best universities in China. In addition, USTC attaches great importance on technology transfer and has incubated dozens of high-tech enterprises. Furthermore, it jointly built the Institute of Advanced Technology (IAT) with Hefei city in 2012, aiming to better combine education, research and industry. USTC-IAT focuses on fostering technological innovation and technology transfer in the IT industry, as well as microelectronics, health care, new energy, new materials and quantum information.
