About Tsinghua
Tsinghua University is China's leading STEM-focused institution and a global powerhouse in engineering and computer science, frequently ranked alongside MIT in those subjects. Its elite Yao Class, founded by Turing Award winner Andrew Yao, trains a small cohort of top computer scientists who often go on to leading PhD programs worldwide. The Haidian district campus draws on a tradition of imperial gardens and remains the gravitational center of Beijing's tech corridor near Zhongguancun. Most undergraduate instruction is in Mandarin, though Tsinghua now runs a growing slate of English-medium programs aimed at international students, who make up roughly 7-8% of enrollment.
