is among the most prestigious universities of China.

university has advantages and resources in researching drama, including 5.3
million books, the most among China's universities, a good humanities tradition
and favorable Internet access.
"Beijing University should be in the front line in the China's drama
education," he said.
Lin Zhaohua, head of the institute, said the establishment of the institute
would "cultivate outstanding drama personnel and pursue original dramas with
Chinese characteristics."
Cheng Zhaoxiang, a expert on Shakespeare at Beijing University, said the
previous drama research in China excessively stressed the literature of the
texts, neglecting factors including the stage and the actors, which will be the
focus of the institute's education.
The institute will begin recruit students in mid-May.
Specialized institutes such as The Central Academy of Drama, Academy of China
Traditional Opera, Communication University of China and Shanghai Theater
Academy are the main force in the training and cultivating of China's drama
personnel.
