Established in 2000, Peking University’s Yuke Education strives to use our university’s excellent educational resources to cultivate a cohort of outstanding international talents. PKU Yuke provides one to two years of preparatory training for academically outstanding high-school graduates who wish to pursue an undergraduate degree at Peking University.  We are committed to creating a new pattern of all-rounded education, and we strive to provide professional language training, opportunities for international cultural exchanges, as well as a smooth transition to “Double First-Class” undergraduate education, and a variety of other educational platforms for foreign students studying at PKU. After preparatory studies, international students who pass the final examination and meet the admission standards are automatically admitted and can enter Peking University’s undergraduate program.

Experienced Teaching Staff & Exclusive Teaching Material

The preparatory major is Chinese and is taught by the School of Chinese Language Education. Aside from Chinese, students will also minor in mathematics, which is organized and taught by PKU’s School of Mathematical Sciences. Other courses and extracurricular activities will utilize the university’s excellent resources and provide students with a diversified and high-quality learning experience.

Teachers from the School of Chinese Language Education have high academic qualifications; 65% of the teachers have a Doctorate degree. The majority of the teachers have Chinese teaching experience in overseas universities or Confucius Institutes, hence enabling them to better understand the characteristics of Chinese learning for international students. The selection of textbooks is the Boya series, compiled and reviewed by PKU’s teachers, and later published by Peking University Press, to ensure a clear, systematic, and scientific teaching objective.

Regarding mathematics studies, an expert group was established by the School of Mathematics and Science to carefully compile exclusive textbooks adapted to the characteristics of preparatory teaching, fully adapting to the needs of preparatory students, and effectively assisting the connection with undergraduate study.

Undergraduate Experience & Liberal Education

PKU Yuke students will have the opportunity to take courses together with undergraduate students and experience university study and extracurricular activities in advance. In addition to improving students’ language skills, getting to know the undergraduate studies in advance can broaden students’ general knowledge, and academic horizons and cultivate their ability to think and study independently.

Combining Learning with Practice & Unifying Virtue with Talent

Our education emphasizes both academic and practical ability. Aside from the academic curriculum, various extracurricular activities and cultural trips will be conducted to help students integrate into the group and into the university better and faster, and to gain more knowledge about China. There are also abundant recreational activities to help students balance work and rest.

Comfortable Accommodation & International Companionship

PKU Yuke will reserve dormitory accommodation for Yuke students at PKU Zhongguanyuan Global Village. Students will be able to have a safe and comfortable accommodation experience, where they can enjoy a pleasant study and living experience together with other international students from all around the world. Whether in class or in daily life, students will be immersed in an academically inspiring and mentally relaxing environment. Today on campus, international students can study with PKU’s outstanding young talents. Tomorrow, you will progress together with alumni partners on the global stage and lead the future.
