This year marks the 13th year of BNBU's CEAE, which consists of an in-person, all-English interview divided into two sections of group discussions and individual questions. Candidates, grouped in threes or fours, are evaluated on language fluency, communication skills, logical thinking, teamwork, and organisational ability.

“I really like the campus environment,” said one candidate, Ms Xian, who has a close friend currently studies at BNBU. “The friendly and enthusiastic staff left a strong impression,” she noted.
Another student, Ms Li, cited BNBU’s liberal arts education and international environment as her main motivation for applying. “Studying here would improve my English and broaden my global outlook,” she shared.
Parents also expressed confidence. “After attending the Shenzhen admissions briefing, we learned about BNBU's philosophy, facilities, and positive student-teacher interaction,” said one parent. “Seeing the campus reassured me that BNBU is a great choice for my child.”
To assist visitors, the university provided on-campus consultation and student sharing sessions throughout the examination period.
