Moutai University, China's first university named after a liquor company, will start to recruit its first batch of students this summer.

The university was established in May, fueled by the booming growth of the liquor business in China.

This year, the university plans to recruit 600 senior high school graduates from Guizhou province, including 550 science students and 50 liberal arts students. The admissions will be conducted between July 27 and Aug 6. Next year, it is expected to recruit students nationwide.
