Currently, BJTU School of Traffic and Transportation has established collaborative partnerships in education and research with universities and institutes in over 30 countries and regions, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Japan. Each year, nearly 100 faculty members and students are sent to overseas institutions to attend international conferences and engage in academic exchanges.

With the goal of establishing a global platform for academic exchange in rail transit, the School organizes and hosts several prestigious international conferences, such as RailBeijing, ICRE, ICIRT, and COTA. Notably, the International Conference on Traffic and Transportation Studies (ICTTS) and the International Symposium on Railway Operations Research (ISROR) have been convened annually for more than ten years, emerging as Asia's most influential academic conferences in transportation studies and railway operations research.

Committed to broadening students' global perspectives and developing innovative talent with international competencies, BJTU School of Traffic and Transportation offers a suite of annual international programs. These include a Summer Excursion with Dresden University of Technology, Beijing-Hong Kong/Macao university-level exchanges, the collaborative Summer Study Tour to the Netherlands and Germany, and the Sino-Japanese friendship "Cherry Blossom" Program.

This internationalization effort is complemented by the School's "High-speed Railway Efficient Operation and Safety Guarantee" Innovation and Talent Base, which facilitates lectures by renowned overseas scholars. Through long-running initiatives like the International Summer School and Golden School lecture series—sustained for over ten years—the School provides specialized instruction in areas from supply chain management to rail transit operation control and travel demand forecasting. Concurrently, the continuous development of an all-English curriculum system underpins the integrated bachelor-master training objective.

In recent years, aligning closely with major industry demands, BJTU School of Traffic and Transportation has participated in establishing the China-US and China-Russia High-speed Railway Research Centers, the Asian University High-speed Railway Union (AUHSR), and the Global Alliance of Universities on Sustainable Transportation (GAUST). It has also contributed to the development of railway transportation programs at institutions such as Thailand and Mongolia's railway universities.

Since the 1970s, when it began training technicians for the Tanzania-Zambia Railway, the School has actively undertaken national assignments. Commissioned by government bodies including the Ministry of Commerce, it has conducted over 50 training sessions for more than 1,300 participants. These include administrative officials, engineers from railway and transportation departments, and university faculty from over 20 countries along the Belt and Road. These programs offer a comprehensive understanding of China's achievements in railway and urban traffic development, sharing China's experience and telling China's story well.
