Introduction

Both the Beijing Municipal Party Committee School and the Beijing Administration Institute (BAI) are directly under the jurisdiction of the Beijing Municipal Government. The School was established in 1950. BAI was opened in 1993 with a different mission but sharing the same faculty and location. Since its founding, the Institute has served as an important training center for junior and senior civil servants, administrative personnel, and theoreticians.

Training

Since its founding, the institute has been actively engaged in training civil servants and searching for innovative models of Institute management. BAI has also jointly organized international training programs with foreign universities and training institutes. These endeavors have become the hallmark of our identity.

Research

BAI is also committed to doing scientific research by  completing research programs funded by the national Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, winning national or municipal government awards for excellence in research. The Institute publishes journals such as Expanding Horizon, Journal of Beijing Administration Institute, Beijing Officials' Education Gazette and BAI Consultation Papers.

Policy Consultation

BAI Policy Consultation Department was founded in  2013, responsible for providing consultancy for decisionmakers. BAI professors research on hot issues which are crucial to the capital's economic and social development, making policy consultations and advice for decision makers of municipal committee and government. Many consultation reports and papers are highly spoken of by  Chinese Academy of Governance and CPC Beijing Municipal Committee and Municipal Government, and adopted by decision-makers of the municipal and national governments.

Graduate Program

BAI is among one of the first provincial level administration institutes granted with master's degrees. From 1992, BAI enrolled students for master's degrees. BAI has 29 master programs, covering philosophy, politics, sociology, Marxism, economics, law, public administration etc.

Stressing the integration of teaching, research and consultation, BAI provides training programs and advisory services for the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, thus advancing economic, political, cultural, social, and environmental developments as well as Party building.
