Program overview
Safety Science and Engineering, simply put, is about making production and daily life safer. You will learn how to predict accidents such as fires, explosions, and poisonings, how to design safety systems, how to assess risks, and how to respond to emergencies after an accident occurs. Core courses include Safety Principles, Risk Assessment, Fire Protection Engineering, Occupational Health, and Safety Management. This major suits those who are meticulous, responsible, and enjoy solving problems — if you are curious about "why accidents happen" and "how to prevent them," this is your battlefield. Chinese universities have unique advantages in this field: for example, China University of Mining and Technology excels in mine safety, University of Science and Technology of China in fire science, and Beijing Institute of Technology in chemical safety, all with world-class research platforms. Many schools have close ties with enterprises, allowing you to access real cases and the latest technologies.
