The Master’s in Network and Information Security at Beihang University (Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics) is a full‑time, research‑oriented graduate programme offered under the Network and Information Security track of the broader Cyberspace Security / Network Security discipline within the School of Cyber Science and Technology and the university’s cybersecurity education framework. The programme typically spans three years of full‑time study and combines advanced coursework with guided research and a thesis project designed to build both theoretical depth and practical engineering expertise in securing networked and information systems. Core curriculum components include network security, information system security, web security, blockchain and distributed system security, along with foundational electronic information subjects such as principles of communication and network systems, giving students a comprehensive grounding in contemporary cybersecurity technologies and threats. The school leverages Beihang’s strengths in aerospace information networks and national strategic priorities — including aerospace information network security, satellite communication security and blockchain security — and emphasises interdisciplinary study, hands‑on practice and industry‑academic collaboration through joint labs, training bases and project partnerships. Graduates are prepared for careers in cybersecurity research and development, secure systems engineering, government or enterprise security roles, and are also well‑positioned for further doctoral study or international academic opportunities.
