HFH distance learning program for technicians

International Master of Civil Engineering (English‑taught)

This full‑time English‑taught International Master of Civil Engineering program belongs to Tongji University’s College of Civil Engineering, whose civil engineering discipline has maintained top‑ranked position in national discipline evaluation and enjoys high global reputation. The program cultivates international engineering talents capable of solving complex civil‑engineering challenges including structural construction, bridge engineering, tunnel‑underground space development and disaster‑mitigation engineering. Core courses include structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, bridge and tunnel engineering, disaster prevention and mitigation, construction management, wind engineering, numerical simulation for civil infrastructure and modern construction technology. Teaching integrates theoretical lectures, laboratory experiments, large‑scale engineering‑case seminars, field investigations to major domestic infrastructure projects and faculty‑led scientific‑research projects. The study schedule contains one‑year course learning phase, no less than six‑month professional practice and around ten‑month thesis‑writing phase. Applicants shall be non‑Chinese citizens holding valid passports and hold a recognized bachelor’s degree in civil engineering or related science‑engineering majors. Two academic recommendation letters, curriculum vitae and English‑written study plan are required for application. Admitted students need to complete credit requirements, finish engineering‑practice assignments and pass English master thesis defense to obtain the master degree. Graduates can work for international construction enterprises, infrastructure design institutes, transportation‑construction authorities and civil‑engineering research institutions worldwide.

Master of Mechanical Engineering (English‑taught)

This full‑time English‑taught master program in Mechanical Engineering belongs to the School of Mechanical Engineering and Automation, one of Beihang University’s core engineering schools. The program lays solid theoretical foundation while emphasizing engineering practice capability, with distinctive aerospace‑equipment manufacturing characteristics. Its curriculum covers advanced mechanical‑design theory, intelligent manufacturing technology, precision‑machining technique, robot‑system development, aerospace‑component processing and manufacturing‑system optimization. Students will take part in laboratory practice, technical seminars and research‑project exercises guided by supervisors. The school possesses advanced manufacturing‑experiment platforms cooperating with domestic large‑scale aerospace enterprises. Applicants should possess undergraduate academic background in mechanical‑relevant disciplines. To graduate, participants must complete required course credits and submit as well as defend a qualified master research thesis. Graduates from this program can engage in mechanical‑equipment research‑and‑development, intelligent‑manufacturing technical work or continue further doctoral‑level academic research worldwide.

Master of Software Engineering

This full‑time English‑taught Master of Software Engineering programme is delivered at the Suzhou Campus of University of Science and Technology of China. Rooted in USTC’s solid foundation in computer science and engineering research, the programme is oriented toward industrial‑driven software talent cultivation, focusing on advanced software development methodologies, big‑data processing technology, artificial intelligence engineering practice, cloud computing system construction, software project management and enterprise‑level software system design. The curriculum balances theoretical knowledge and practical engineering training, combining core compulsory courses, specialized elective modules, enterprise‑oriented case seminars and long‑term engineering practice projects. Students will receive systematic training covering software requirement analysis, system architecture design, coding implementation, software testing, quality control and full‑cycle project management. Students are required to complete all stipulated course credits, participate in academic seminars and engineering practice activities, finish independent research or engineering‑development work, and submit a master thesis or comprehensive engineering project report which must pass formal defence to obtain the master degree. Upon graduation, graduates possess strong software engineering implementation capability and systematic technical vision, and can take up technical development, system design, project management and technical research positions in global software companies, internet enterprises, high‑tech manufacturing institutions and cross‑border information‑technology organisations worldwide.
