About PKU
Often described as China's Harvard, Peking University is renowned for its strength in the humanities, social sciences, and basic sciences, and for cultivating much of modern China's intellectual and political leadership. Its Haidian campus is built around the former Qing-era Yenching gardens, with the Weiming Lake and Boya Pagoda forming one of the most recognized academic landscapes in Asia. PKU emphasizes liberal arts education at undergraduate level alongside top-ranked law, economics, and Chinese studies programs. Most undergraduate teaching is in Mandarin, but the university runs English-medium tracks and dual degrees with partners such as Yenching Academy that attract roughly 3,000-4,000 international students.
