Notable programs
Guanghua School of Management
Asia-Pacific's most prestigious business school, ranked first in mainland China for economics and finance by QS. Its founding dean Li Yining mentored Premier Li Keqiang. Partnerships with 130 international business schools and an MBA programme competitive with global peers at a fraction of the cost.
School of Government
China's premier training ground for senior civil servants and policy researchers. Feeds directly into the selective transfer programme that fast-tracks graduates into provincial and central government positions. Alumni network embedded across every level of Chinese governance.
Peking University Law School
China's most prestigious law faculty, having produced four sitting Supreme Court justices and Premier Li Keqiang. Dominates domestic legal scholarship and trains the majority of senior judges, prosecutors, and regulatory officials across the mainland.
Yuanpei College
China's most prominent liberal arts programme, named after legendary president Cai Yuanpei. Attracts the highest-scoring gaokao students seeking interdisciplinary breadth. Offers unusual freedom to design individualised curricula across departments — a rarity in Chinese higher education.
School of Mathematical Sciences
Consistently ranked among Asia's top three mathematics departments. Produces Fields Medal candidates and feeds into global doctoral programmes at rates exceeding most Western peers. Stronger in pure and theoretical mathematics than applied — the inverse of Tsinghua's profile.
Health Science Center
Operates eight affiliated hospitals across Beijing and trains China's medical elite. The pharmacy programme produced Nobel laureate Tu Youyou. Clinical medicine tuition remains remarkably low at USD 5,700 annually for international students despite world-class facilities.
