Renmin University of China

Renmin University of China

Renmin University of China is a comprehensive research-oriented national key university primarily focused on the humanities and social sciences, with some programs in science and engineering. The campus boasts enchanting scenery — in spring, nearly a hundred magnolia trees bloom proudly, while in autumn, over 500 ginkgo trees turn the area a brilliant golden yellow. The predecessor of Renmin University was the Shaanbei Public School, founded in Yan’an during the War of Resistance against Japan. It later went through several phases, including the North China United University, the Northern University, and the North China University, before finally being established in Beijing in 1950 under the name “Renmin University of China,” becoming the first comprehensive national university of New China. The university has nurtured a large number of leaders and social elites for China. Today, its educational goal is to cultivate students as “role models for the nation and pillars of society.”
