On April 19th, BUCEA’s 2025 Campus Open Day was held, attracting 90 well-known universities from both within and outside Beijing. A “one-stop” consultation service platform for college entrance examination enrollment was set up for students and their parents.
This event was guided by the Beijing Education Examinations Authority and other relevant institutions. It was co-hosted by BUCEA and the College Admissions Office of the Daxing District Education Examinations Center, Beijing Municipal, and received strong support from various units and media platforms including the Beijing Education Examination Service Center.
On the morning of the event, WU Jie, Member of the Education Work Committee of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee and Deputy Director of the Beijing Municipal Education Commission, ZHOU Yuling, Deputy Director of the Beijing Education Examinations Authority, SUN Yunke, Director of the College Admissions Office of the Beijing Education Examinations Authority, ZHENG Yu, Chairman of University Council of BUCEA, and ZHANG Dayu, President of BUCEA, visited the consultation site in person and had face-to-face exchanges with candidates and their parents.
The event took the general consultation booth of BUCEA together with its 10 enrollment colleges as the core, in collaboration with 90 universities. Among them were representatives from 57 highly competitive Beijing-based universities such as Tsinghua University and Peking University, as well as 33 renowned universities from outside Beijing like Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Harbin Institute of Technology, and Tongji University. The “College Admissions Consultation Carnival”, jointly organized by the Beijing Education Examinations Authority, became a highlight of the event. For the first time, heads of education examination centers from 16 districts of Beijing and career planning experts were invited to the scene, providing one-stop professional guidance for students and parents on topics such as entrance examinations, college application strategies, and career planning.
On the same day, the Beijing College Admissions Service Alliance was officially established, and BUCEA was inaugurated as the first university member of the alliance.
The Beijing College Admissions Service Alliance is a service platform for college entrance examination admissions guided by the Beijing Education Examinations Authority and sponsored by the Beijing Association for Educational Assessment. The alliance brings together universities enrolling students in Beijing, district-level admissions examination institutions in Beijing, senior high schools, industry entities, and experts in relevant fields. Through optimizing resources, innovating models, and enhancing practical outcomes, the alliance has established a working system for college admissions services in Beijing, providing support for students’ entrance planning and the talent selection of universities.
According to its charter and the service convention, the Beijing College Admissions Service Alliance has launched ten major special initiatives for 2025.
On that day, BUCEA held a press conference, introducing the arrangements and highlights of this event in detail, and officially announcing its new enrollment policy for 2025.
President ZHANG Dayu answered the reporters’ questions regarding the current hot topics.
With the rapid development of AI technology, higher education is undergoing a transformation. In the face of change, President ZHANG believes that AI not only brings challenges but also offers great opportunities. He introduced that BUCEA has set up general courses and professional basic courses in artificial intelligence to push forward the transformation of the cultivation model and teaching methods. Moreover, BUCEA has established an “Artificial Intelligence +” research institute to facilitate the in-depth integration of AI and the construction industry. BUCEA also focuses on cultivating students’ innovative abilities and original knowledge, seeking a balance between artificial intelligence tools and human innovation. Currently, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development is encouraging key areas such as urban renewal and the construction of “good houses”. Facing these shifts in the industry, Zhang noted that BUCEA is closely monitoring the new demands of the industry’s development and continuously optimizing its educational philosophy and the structure of its disciplines and majors. In terms of the cultivation model, by setting up micro majors and breaking down the barriers between courses, BUCEA aims to strengthen students’ cross-disciplinary application abilities. To meet emerging industry needs, BUCEA’s current enrollment majors are designed to fully improve the comprehensive qualities of graduates through a system of core courses plus micro majors. BUCEA also refines the system of its disciplines and majors, improves the courses and teaching content according to the demands of urban and rural residents, and boosts the quality of talent cultivation.
