On 28th July 2016, twelve PKU alumni together with students from ESCP (European Business School) went on a unique insider’s view at Bicester Village, with an exceptional chance to know how Bicester Village was created into the UK’s most successful premium mall, the most visited after Buckingham Palace and a leading UK destination for tourists.
The host for the visit was Desirée Bollier, Chief Executive of Bicester Village, along with members of the Bicester Village team. Desirée presented the corporate strategic overview of the Bicester Village brand and its commitment of improving their retail offering across Europe and China for even greater success in the future.
PKU alumni were invited to experience the Bicester Village first-hand and use analytical skills (SWOT analysis) in a brand challenge to evaluate Bicester Village’s strengths and opportunities for further improvement. The attendees were grouped into four and each focused on one aspect: luxury & clothes, shoes & accessories, fashion, home & children. Representatives from each group were invited to give a 10-min oral presentation after one-hour visit of the village and the ideas received very positive feedback from the members of the Bicester Village team. The team invited all the attendees to come back and visit the village after Bicester Phase II completed next year to see the improvements.
The Bicester PKUAA-UK event achieved a huge success and we look forward to more interactions between PKUAA-UK and Bicester Village Team in the future.

The PKUAA-UK successfully held the “Punting & BBQ” trip in Cambridge on 22nd May 2016. Every year PKU alumni will gather to punt and have BBQ in Cambridge, which has already become the traditional event. Over thirty PKU alumni from many places in UK came to Cambridge to attend this big event. At about 11:00 am, PKU alumni left St. John’s College and St. Edmund’s College and head to Darwin College. All of the PKU alumni who attended this event enjoyed this fantastic punting trip along River Cam, and the beautiful scenery of riverside Colleges. Many PKU alumni also learned how to punt during this interesting punting trip. At about 12:00, all of the four punting boats arrived at the destination, Darwin College, and began the BBQ session on the “First Island”. Many of the alumni were good at barbecue and cook delicious lamb kebab, beef burger, chicken thigh, chicken wings, sausage, pork belly and drumstick etc. After enjoyed the amazing BBQ lunch, PKU alumni continued the punting trip back to St. John’s College, and enjoyed the afternoon sunshine on River Cam. At the end, PKU alumni played the Werewolves game in the combination room of St. John’s College and the half day “Punting & BBQ” trip ended in a relaxed atmosphere.
This year, we have 20 new PKU alumni join our PKUAA family in Cambridge. PKUAA has organized a big event to welcome the new PKU alumni. 25 people attended the lunch party in the Kang Qiao Restaurant. The senior students shared their experience in Cambridge and the new students introduced the latest new in Peking University. After the lunch and the group photo, PKU alumni went for punting on the Cam River. The beautiful scene of colleges, chapels, as well as the laugh ringing over the Cam River left us a good memory.
PKUAA@Edinburgh has successfully held a dinner event with alumni from Tsinghua University on the 30th of May. This was the first time that alumni from both Peking University and Tsinghua University gathered together at Edinburgh. We shared our interesting experience of living and studying in Edinburgh as well as chatted about the long-standing relationship between these top two Chinese universities. Everyone attended the event so much enjoyed it, and we happily decided to take turns for organising future gathering events for alumni from both universities. We are expecting a barbeque soon in June if the Scottish weather don’t let us down then!
On the 4th of April, PKUAA@Edinburgh organised a celebration event for Dr. Wang Du and Dr. Xie Jinhan who had successfully passed their viva. Many congratulations to them! They very kindly shared their experience of viva with the rest alumni, all Doctor-To-Bes. This event was also a farewell party for those two, as they soon will be leaving UK. We wish them all the best for their future and look forward to next gathering wherever it might be!
