Teaching And Research Positions In The School Of Education, Peking University

Introduction to the Department

Peking University has a long-standing tradition of excellence in education. The roots of its educational history trace back to 1902, when the predecessor of Peking University, Beijing Normal University, established a normal hall to offer education courses. In 1924, the Department of Education was formally founded at Peking University. Following the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the department was restructured in line with national plans, and in 1980, the Department of Education was reformed into the Higher Education Research Office. This office evolved in 1984 into the Institute of Higher Education Sciences, and in 2000, it was officially developed into the Faculty of Education.

Today, the Faculty of Education consists of four departments:

• The Department of Education and Human Development
• The Department of Educational Economics and Management
• The Department of Educational Technology
• The Department of Educational Management and Policy

Additionally, the Faculty houses two research institutes, the Institute of Higher Education Science and the Institute of Educational Economics, along with 12 virtual research centers and three laboratories.

The Faculty of Education at Peking University offers doctoral programs in two first-level disciplines: Education and Public Administration. It also offers six master’s degree programs in fields such as Higher Education, Educational Economics and Management, Educational Technology, Principles of Education, and Medical Education, along with five professional master's degree programs in Education. Among its strengths is the national key discipline in Educational Economics and Management. The faculty also operates two postdoctoral mobile stations in Education and Public Administration.

The faculty’s research is focused on critical practical issues and fundamental theoretical challenges in education, with an emphasis on empirical research, research process standardization, and methods. It has established itself in areas like Higher Education, Education Economy and Finance, Education Management and Policy, Educational Technology, and Teacher Education, while also contributing to China's educational reform and development through policy consultation and social services.

The Faculty of Education at Peking University is committed to maintaining an academic environment marked by democracy, openness, rigor, pragmatism, innovation, and excellence. The faculty strives to develop specialized knowledge in the field of education, nurturing high-level research and management talents who integrate knowledge with practice. It is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of teaching and scientific research, contributing to educational progress and the flourishing of education worldwide.
