South African Students Invited to Attend “Study in Beijing” Online Education Fair
South African students eager to pursue higher education in China are invited to attend the Study in Beijing and HSK Study Online Education Fair, an online event that will connect learners directly with top universities in the Chinese capital.
The virtual fair takes place on Friday, 25 October 2025, from 10:00 to 12:30 (South Africa time) via Zoom.
Organised by the Beijing Municipal Education Commission and the Chinese Test Centre, in collaboration with all Confucius Institutes in South Africa, the event aims to promote educational cooperation between South Africa and China.
It will showcase study opportunities, scholarships, and pathways for international students interested in Beijing’s globally recognised institutions.
Seven leading universities from Beijing will take part in the fair:
University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) – One of China’s premier research universities, UCAS offers postgraduate and doctoral programmes in science, engineering, and technology. It is affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the nation’s top scientific research institution.
Renmin University of China (RUC) – Renowned for its excellence in humanities and social sciences, Renmin is ranked among China’s top universities for economics, law, journalism, and public administration.
Beijing Normal University (BNU) – A leader in education, psychology, and teacher training, BNU is also recognised internationally for its research in environmental science and social development.
China University of Petroleum (Beijing) – Specialising in energy, engineering, and petroleum studies, this university is highly regarded for producing industry-ready graduates in the global oil and gas sector.
China University of Geosciences (Beijing) – Focused on geology, earth sciences, and environmental studies, the university plays a key role in global research on natural resources and sustainable development.
Beijing College of Finance and Commerce – Offers practical programmes in business, accounting, marketing, and management designed to prepare students for international business environments.
Beijing Vocational University of Science and Technology – Known for its applied and technical education, this university provides skills-based training in science, technology, and industrial innovation.
The fair will allow South African students to interact directly with university representatives, explore academic programmes, and learn about scholarship opportunities available for international students. Participants will also gain insights into life in Beijing — a city celebrated for its world-class education, cultural diversity, and modern lifestyle.
With increasing numbers of South Africans choosing China as a study destination, the event offers a valuable opportunity to explore quality higher education options at a fraction of the cost of many Western universities.
The organisers encourage students, graduates, and professionals to attend and take advantage of this direct engagement with Beijing’s leading academic institutions.
