The additional purposes are to share best practices in regards to curriculum, pedagogy, methodology, assessment, and other related matters to promote basic and applied research. Illustrative, BUU is formed by the merger of various branches of more than 30 key universities in Beijing, and provides world-class education for China’s top students. The university actively carries out scientific research projects and fosters international cooperation for academic and cultural exchange activities.
