The Master’s in Highway Transportation at Beihang University (Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics) is part of the broader Transportation Engineering/Transportation Science and Engineering graduate offerings within the School of Transportation Science and Engineering, which is a nationally recognised “Double First-Class” discipline in China focused on advanced transport systems and infrastructure. At Beihang, Highway Transportation (often paired with Road and Railway Engineering as a second-level major) falls under the Transportation Engineering master’s programme, which is normally structured as 2–3 years of full-time study and combines advanced coursework with research and a master’s thesis. The curriculum for students specialising in Highway and Railway Engineering or Road Traffic/Highway Transportation emphasises theory and application of highway and rail infrastructure engineering, intelligent and resilient transportation systems, traffic information and control technologies, transportation planning and management, and vehicle operation engineering, blending foundational training in civil and transport engineering with exposure to cutting-edge materials, monitoring technologies and smart transportation solutions. Second-level majors within the broader programme include Highway and Railway Engineering (primarily Chinese-taught) alongside other tracks such as Traffic Information Engineering and Control and Transportation Planning and Management, depending on the language of instruction and specific research focus of the student. Graduates are prepared for careers in transportation design and planning, infrastructure research and development, traffic system analysis and control, or for continuing to doctoral study in transportation and related fields.
