To further enhance the professionalism of education, training, and management services for international students at our university, in accordance with the relevant requirements of the *Administrative Regulations on Enrollment and Cultivation of International Students at Beihang University (Trial)* (BUAA Foreign Affairs Document No. 30 [2025]), the Department of International Cooperation has taken the lead in organizing the "2025 Special Training on Improving Management and Service Capabilities for International Students" to promote inter-departmental collaboration and the university-college two-level mechanism. The training program, consisting of five sessions held from November to December, aims to strengthen university-college linkage and inject new momentum into the high-quality development of "Studying at Beihang."
On the afternoon of November 12, the first lecture of this training series was successfully held in the Main South Building of the Xueyuan Road Campus. Relevant business teachers from training units including the School of Electronic and Information Engineering, School of Automation Science and Electrical Engineering, School of Aeronautical Science and Engineering, School of Mechanical Engineering and Automation, School of Economics and Management, and School of Biomedical Engineering, as well as new full-time and part-time counselors for international students in 2025, attended the event. Liu Na, Deputy Director of the Department of International Cooperation, delivered the opening report and provided a comprehensive interpretation of the *Administrative Regulations on Enrollment and Cultivation of International Students at Beihang University (Trial)* (BUAA Foreign Affairs Document No. 30 [2025]). She systematically sorted out the background of the regulation revision and core clauses, focusing on explaining the "dual-track system" and "three-step" implementation path planned by the university for the "convergence" management reform of international students. She also pointed out that this regulation will provide a solid institutional guarantee for optimizing the management and service mechanism for international students and achieving high-quality development.
Subsequently, Zhao Shuang, Director of the International Student Management Office of the Department of International Cooperation, delivered a special report titled *Practice of National Conditions Education for International Students at Beihang University*. She detailedly shared the university's national conditions education system for international students—guided by the concept of "building a community with a shared future for mankind," aimed at cultivating students with "Chinese feelings and Beihang genes," and implemented through the "four classrooms"—as well as innovative practices and achievements that effectively guide international students from perceiving China to understanding and identifying with it, and finally becoming friendly envoys who actively tell Chinese stories. During the exchange and discussion session, participating teachers had warm discussions and in-depth exchanges on the implementation of the management regulations and cases of national conditions education.
Subsequently, the Department of International Cooperation will organize four more training sessions on topics such as interpretation of entry-exit policies and regulations for international students, international graduate programs, and scholarship policies, through various forms including expert reports, practical experience sharing, exchanges, and investigations. It will focus on building a collaborative and efficient team for international student management and services, providing a solid guarantee for the comprehensive advancement of the convergence reform for international students.
