China’s Top Universities Expand Enrolment to Meet National Strategic Needs in AI

Several of China’s leading universities have announced plans to expand their undergraduate enrolment, focusing on “national strategic needs” and cultivating talent in areas such as artificial intelligence (AI). This move follows the launch of AI courses in February, inspired by the success of AI startup DeepSeek, which has drawn significant attention for creating cost-effective AI models comparable to the most advanced in the United States.

DeepSeek’s achievements, driven by researchers from elite domestic universities, underscore China’s investment in building a robust STEM talent pool. Analysts attribute this progress to Beijing’s strategic focus and recent US restrictions on Chinese student visas, which have accelerated domestic advancements in AI.

Peking University revealed plans to add 150 undergraduate spots in 2025, targeting disciplines of “national strategic importance,” including information science, engineering, and clinical medicine. Similarly, Renmin University announced an increase of over 100 places in fields like AI to foster innovation. Shanghai Jiao Tong University will also expand enrolment by 150 spots, emphasizing “cutting-edge technologies” and emerging industries such as integrated circuits, biomedicine, and new energy.

These expansions align with China’s broader goal to become a “strong education nation” by 2035, as outlined in its first national action plan issued in January. The initiative aims to enhance education development, improve innovation efficiency, and strengthen the country’s global standing.

Additionally, Chinese education authorities have introduced AI education in primary and secondary schools to nurture creativity, scientific interest, and digital skills among younger students. This comprehensive approach reflects China’s commitment to advancing its technological capabilities and addressing strategic priorities in the digital era.
