USTO - MB was ranked 59th in the 2016 U.S. News & World Report regional ranking of Arab universities.
History
Oran has been equipped with higher education and scientific research and technological development since the establishment of the Institut de Génie Civil et Mécanique d’Oran (IGCMO) by decree No. 75-27 of April 29, 1975, from the Ministry of Higher Education. This institute was located south of Oran on the way to Es Senia.
In September 1986, Oran was endowed with a university hub as important as the University of Oran Es-Senia, but more modern and in East Oran. Initially named the University of Science and Technology of Oran (USTO), it was designed by Japanese architect Kenzō Tange and covered an area of 89 hectares. It was later renamed the University of Science and Technology of Oran - Mohamed Boudiaf in memory of the assassinated President Mohamed Boudiaf.

= Health
=With the opening of the Établissement hospitalier universitaire d'Oran (EHU Oran), a new large and modern hospital in Bir El Djir, opposite USTO-MB, Oran's old hospital, the Centre hospitalier universitaire d'Oran (CHU Oran), has been relieved of patients in a rapidly growing city.
With the establishment of this new hospital, a faculty was designed at USTO-MB, the Faculty of Medicine Moulay-Driss-Mansouri (formerly Faculty of Medicine USTO), to train future doctors who will work at EHU Oran or elsewhere. The Faculty of Medicine is thus the second in the city after the Faculty of Medicine of Oran (formerly National Institute of Higher Education in Medical Sciences of Oran "INESSM Oran"), located opposite CHU Oran.
= Sports activities
=The university also includes an Institute of Physical Education and Sports for the training of bachelor's and master's degrees in physical education and sports. It is equipped with international standard sports facilities (football stadium with an athletics track, Olympic swimming pool, etc.) to develop university sports in the country.
