So, if you want to work in the railway system, which majors and colleges have more advantages? Below, based on the recruitment information of the railway system and the enrollment information of the colleges and universities, we will list some majors and colleges for your reference!
PART02C Railway Group recruitment information list
Let’s first look at what majors graduates are needed from the recruitment information of the railway system. Take Shenyang Bureau as an example:

Through the above table, you can find that the majors recruited by China Railway Group are mainly concentrated in rail transit signal and control, railway engineering, vehicle engineering, electrical engineering and its automation and other majors. Now let me list some majors required for railway systems:
Rail Transit Signal and Control
Rail Transit Signal and Control Major was the railway signal major. It studies manual control, automatic control and remote control technology in the railway transportation system to ensure driving safety and improve the range and station passing ability.
Rail Transit Signal and Control major mainly cultivates specialized talents in information and control in the fields of high-speed railways, passenger dedicated lines, railways, subways and urban rail transit. The major recruits a large number of people in the railway system every year.
Recommended colleges: Beijing Jiaotong University , Southwest Jiaotong University , East China Jiaotong University , Lanzhou Jiaotong University , etc.
Railway Engineering
Railway Engineering mainly studies basic knowledge and skills in railway planning, design, construction, management and maintenance, and involves railways, transportation and civil engineering and other fields.
For example: railway line planning, high-speed railway survey and design, railway maintenance, etc. The employment direction of this major is basically choosing a job between railways and urban ground tracks. It can be said that it is a major "first need" in the railway system.
Recommended colleges: Beijing Jiaotong University, Central South University , Shijiazhuang Railway University , Lanzhou Jiaotong University, etc.
Vehicle Engineering
Vehicle Engineering from the early stage involved mechanics, mechanical design theory, metal materials, chemical industry, and today it has expanded to mutual penetration and interconnection with computers, test and metrology technology, transportation, control technology, etc., forming a comprehensive discipline covering a variety of high-tech technologies. The "vehicle" in the professional name
is a general term for all land mobile machinery. Our common cars, trains, EMUs, high-speed rail, subway, military vehicles and other engineering vehicles all belong to the category of vehicles.
This major mainly has two training directions: the direction of the car and the direction of rail transit. If you want to enter the railway system, you must choose a college that is biased towards the direction of rail transit.
Recommended colleges: Southwest Jiaotong University, Lanzhou Jiaotong University, Vehicle Engineering major at the Institute of Railway and Urban Rail Transit of Tongji University, etc.
Electrical Engineering and its Automation
Electrical Engineering and its Automation major is a science that uses electricity, electrical equipment and electrical technology as a means to create, maintain and improve limited space and environment, covering three aspects: conversion, utilization and research of electricity. Every year, students from this major will be recruited in the railway system.
Because it is an interdisciplinary subject and is closely related to many industries, such as electricity, electronics, control, computers, etc., and it is also a major that requires students to constantly practice. The course learning is not difficult, so you need to be mentally prepared to apply for this major.
Recommended colleges: Tsinghua University , Huazhong University of Science and Technology, North China Electric Power University , Xi'an Jiaotong University, etc.
PART03 Recommended for colleges and universities that can enter China Railway Group
