The scale of metallurgical industry of China is very huge. The energy consumption, resources supplying and environmental impact of China are also face to severe challenges. The education programs and activities in universities towards undergraduates and graduates students concerning the sustainability of metallurgical industry in China are introduced in this paper. Since the beginning of the 21 century, the courses related to environmental protection, energy saving, ecology, eco-materials were opened. Even the school of metallurgical engineering was changed to the school of metallurgical and ecological engineering and undergraduate students major in ecological engineering were cultivated. On the other hand, key laboratories related to metallurgical engineering and resources utilization which affiliated to the Minister of Education were established in different universities. These laboratories provide platforms for educating and researching activities concerning sustainability of the metallurgical industry. The contents of those courses, activities and achievements of education programs and research including international exchange will be reported in details.
