Overview

The School of Marxism at the People's Public Security University of China has evolved through several stages, including the Marxism-Leninism Teaching and Research Group of the North China Public Security Cadre Training Program (1948), the Marxism-Leninism Theory Teaching and Research Department (1984), and the Humanities and Social Sciences Department (2011). The School of Marxism was established in November 2015, becoming the first of its kind among public security universities in China. It bears the crucial responsibilities of teaching, researching, promoting Marxism, and cultivating talents in Marxist theory. In May 2022, the school was selected as a Key Construction School of Marxism in Beijing, providing significant support for ideological and political education as well as theoretical research in public security institutions.

External Cooperation

The School actively engages in exchanges and cooperation with local public security agencies, specialized units of the Ministry of Public Security, national “Double First-Class” universities, public security institutions, and international organizations under the “Belt and Road” Initiative. It conducts theoretical and practical research on hot and challenging issues in Party building and ideological-political work, providing theoretical guidance and advisory support to enhance the quality development of public security work.

The School studies the current situation and future trends of ideological, linguistic, and cultural exchanges among the “Belt and Road” partner countries, aiming to effectively narrate Chinese police stories, disseminate China's voice, deepen the international community's understanding of China's perspectives, and foster a cultural exchange foundation for international police cooperation.
