Beijing University of Chemical Technology

Beijing University of Chemical Technology was founded in 1958 and specialises in chemical engineering, materials science, chemistry and pharmaceutical engineering. It is part of Project 211 and the Double First-Class Initiative. Its field has direct relevance to the Kazakh economy. Kazakhstan's petrochemical, mining and processing industries are substantial, and chemical and materials engineering are among the disciplines the sector recruits. Chinese investment in Kazakh energy and processing is also significant. The university sits a tier below the national research universities in Beijing, which makes its entry requirements more reachable for an applicant whose grades or Chinese level fall short of the C9 institutions. Beijing living costs apply regardless of tier, which is worth weighing against a comparable university in a cheaper city.
