Located in the scenic zone of the Changping Sci-tech Park with its suburban tranquility, Beijing Geely University (BGU) is a private comprehensive university founded by the Geely Group in the year 2000. It is ratified by the Beijing People’s Municipal Government and the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China.
The university started enrolling full-time students on higher vocational programmes in 2001. Its campus stretches over a land area of 106 hectares, with a gross floor area of nearly five hundred thousand square metres. It has in excess of 1000 faculty and administrative staff and accommodates some 30,000 full-time students.
The university comprises 15 schools: Business School, School of Automobile Technology, School of Information Engineering, School of Journalism and Communications, School of Foreign Languages, School of Finance and Securities, School of Modern Arts, School of Law and Politics, School of Life Science and Technology, School of Animation and Games, School of Social Psychology, School of Music and Dance, School of Cultural Economics, School of Films and TV, and Euro-American International School. Furthermore, there are two research institutes: Automotive Research Institute, and Educational Research Institute.
The university now offers more than 100 newly created programmes covering seven major academic disciplines: technology, science, economics, management, law, literature and philosophy.
We have one conviction and that is: the purpose of a university education should serve society through full employment of its graduates. We have been advocating a conceptual transformation, shifting the emphasis of education from academic study to technological and practical application. We deliver graduates who meet the needs of a socially and economically developing society. We were the first private university in Beijing to have successfully passed the Teaching Evaluation for Higher Vocational Schools and Junior Colleges in November 2005.
Materially we are well equipped. Among our landmark constructions are a grand library complex, a multifunctional gymnasium and a modern state of the art International Lecture Hall.
Different forms of long-term cooperation relationships have been established with close to 100 institutions of higher learning in 17 countries and regions such as US, UK, and Japan.
