Approved in 1986, the Master of Safety Science and Engineering program was established in the school of Safety and Environmental Engineering, Capital University of Economics and Business. In 2007, this discipline was approved to be one of the Key Construction Disciplines of Beijing and successfully passed the acceptance inspection in 2013. As one of the earliestmaster’s degree programs in this field in China it has a long history of developmentwith a highly qualified teaching staff. It maintains a comprehensive teaching system, standardized and mature curriculum.Practical academic research isthe advantage of this discipline. The graduates have a great competitive advantage in the job market, which is a significant contribution by this discipline to the personnel-training in the field of safety engineering for the country, and especially for Beijing.
