The Master’s in Safety Science and Engineering at Beihang University (Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics) is a full-time, research-oriented graduate programme offered under the first-level discipline of Safety Science and Engineering within the School of Reliability and Systems Engineering. This discipline integrates the foundational science of safety with engineering, systems reliability and intelligent control, and aims to cultivate advanced professionals capable of analysing, designing and managing safe and reliable systems across complex engineered environments such as aerospace, transportation, infrastructure, electronics and industrial systems. At Beihang, Safety Science and Engineering is structured as a typical 2–3 year full-time master’s, combining advanced coursework with laboratory work, systems-level research and a thesis project under faculty supervision in areas such as safety science and risk, reliability systems engineering, intelligent sensing and safety control, and system-of-systems and intelligent system safety. Graduates gain a strong theoretical foundation in how safety emerges and can be controlled in technical systems, quantitative methods for risk assessment, and practical engineering skills applicable to safety design, assessment, accident prevention and safety management in high-technology sectors. The programme prepares students for careers in research and development, safety engineering and systems reliability roles in industry, government or academia, and typically supports both Chinese and international students with courses offered in English or Chinese and opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration.
