Major introduction

Public Security Studies teaches you how to prevent crime and manage public safety—a practical discipline for maintaining social order.

Program overview

Public Security Studies is a core major under the Public Security category within the field of Law. Simply put, it explores how to make society safer and better organized. You'll learn about crime prevention, community policing, public security management, hazardous materials control, and large event security. Core courses include Principles of Public Security, Public Order Management, Investigation of Public Security Cases, Security Prevention Technology, and Police Science. This major is especially suitable for students who are responsible, enjoy problem-solving, and are interested in public affairs. Chinese universities have strong practical advantages in this field, such as People's Public Security University of China and Criminal Investigation Police University of China, which work closely with the public security system, offering students many opportunities to participate in real case analysis and internships.

Major prospects

随着中国城市化进程加快,大型活动越来越多(比如奥运会、进博会),社区治理也越来越精细,对治安管理人才的需求持续增长。同时,智慧安防、大数据警务等新技术正在改变传统治安工作,比如用AI分析犯罪热点、用物联网监控重点区域。国际学生如果关注跨国犯罪、国际安保合作,这个专业在中国能接触到很多前沿实践。另外,中国正在推进“一带一路”安全合作,懂中文又懂治安管理的留学生有机会参与相关项目。

Career prospects

毕业后最直接的出路是进入公安系统,比如成为治安警察、社区民警,负责日常巡逻、案件处理、安全宣传。也可以去海关、边防、出入境管理部门做执法工作。企业方面,大型商场、酒店、物流公司都需要安全顾问或安保经理,负责制定安全预案、培训员工。薪资方面,国内公安系统起薪约5000-8000元/月(视地区),企业安全岗位起薪6000-10000元/月,有经验后可达1.5万以上。国际学生如果回国,可以从事跨国企业安全合规、国际组织安保协调等工作。
