Introduction to the Graduate Program

The School of Civil Engineering at the Beijing Jiaotong University offers three graduate degree programs, leading to the degrees of Master of Science in Engineering (M. Sc.), Master of Engineering (M. Eng.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). The general mandate of the School is the acquisition and dissemination of Civil Engineering knowledge to ensure a high quality of education in all of the degrees offered.

Master of Science (M. Sc.)

The Master of Science (M. Sc.) Program is intended to provide both experience in research that requires the submission of a research thesis, as well as advanced education in a particular field of specialization through coursework.

Unlike the Ph.D. dissertation, the M. Sc. thesis need not necessarily make original contributions to a field, but should demonstrate that the student has an excellent grasp of the topic and has mastered techniques of performing research. The M. Sc. Degree is considered to be a good introduction to further study at the Ph.D. level, but is also an appropriate terminal degree for students wishing to practice at an advanced level in their subject area.

SCE provides the following directions for the prospective students:

1. Road & Railway Engineering
2. Solid Mechanics
3. Fluid Mechanics
4. Engineering Mechanics
5. Bridge & Tunnel Engineering
6. Photogrammetry & Remote Sensing
7. Geotechnical Engineering
8. Municipal Engineering
9. Structural Engineering
10. Environmental Engineering
11. Disaster Reduction & Structural Protection Engineering
12. Heat & Gas Supply & Ventilation Engineering
13. Environmental Science
14. Geological Engineering
15. Environmental Geotechnical Engineering
16. Underground works
17. Urban Railway Engineering
18. Hydrological and Geological Engineering       
19. Land Resource Management
20. General Mechanics and Mechanics Basis

Master of Engineering (M. Eng.)

The Master of Engineering (M. Eng.) Program is primarily a program of graduate coursework intended to provide continuing and advanced education for recent graduates and civil engineers in professional practice. It can be completed by a combination of coursework and a design project. The program can be completed on a part-time basis. 

SCE provides the following directions for the prospective students:

1. Architecture & Civil Engineering
2. Survey Engineering
3. Environment Engineering 

Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D)

The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Program aims to provide rigorous training in research, such that graduates will be capable of pursuing independent and novel research in their subsequent careers. Students are expected to demonstrate, by means of a written dissertation, that they have made an original contribution to the existing knowledge in a particular field.

SCE provides the following directions for the prospective students:

1. Road & Railway Engineering
2. Solid Mechanics
3. Bridge & Tunnel Engineering
4. Geotechnical Engineering
5. Municipal Engineering
6. Structural Engineering
7. Disaster Reduction & Structural Protection Engineering
8. Heat & Gas Supply & Ventilation Engineering
9. Engineering Mechanics
10. Hydrological and Geological Engineering
11. Environmental Geotechnical Engineering
12. Underground works
