Peking University

Peking University is a public university that was founded in 1898 but did not receive its current name until 1912. The main campus of the university, known as Yan Yuan, is located in the Haidian District of Beijing, China's capital city. Both undergraduate and graduate students have access to university housing. Tuition costs more for non-Chinese nationals and varies by subject, with science subjects being the most expensive. The academic calendar at the university is semester-based, and students usually study for four years for undergraduate degree programs, two to three years for master's degree programs, and four years for doctoral degree programs.

Peking University in Beijing is China's oldest national university, with over 2,000 international students. Peking University has collaborations with Cornell University, Stanford University, and Yale University, with Yale faculty teaching classes in Beijing. Peking University fosters some of the most progressive thought in academic China, giving sociology and government students a unique opportunity to peer inside the mind of modern Beijing from a more open-minded perspective.

Peking University is a prominent bastion in the course of China's modernization, with the university's traditional emphasis on patriotism, progress and science, together with its educational standards of diligence, precision, factionalism, and innovation, have been passed down from generation to generation.
