The Yenching Academy provides a generous postgraduate
scholarship that covers tuition fees, a travel stipend for one round-trip
journey between each Scholar’s base city and Beijing, accommodations, and
living costs on Peking University's campus.
The Academy offers a residential
program aimed at creating a community of enthusiastic, globally oriented young
innovators in the heart of China's top university. Such close proximity to the
academic infrastructure of Peking University provides a unique opportunity to
participate and fully immerse oneself in the life of the university.
Enrolled international students spend 12 months in residence
at the Yenching Academy, with the possibility to extend for a second year.
For students from China (including Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan), the program
lasts 24 months. Coursework is completed during the fall and spring semesters,
and it is supplemented by additional study during the summer. Upon completion
of their year in residence, students have up to one more year to finalize
projects and defend their thesis. During this period, students in good academic
standing may apply for a limited number of Teaching, Research, or
Administrative Assistantships. In addition, Dean’s Research Grants will be
awarded on a bi-annual basis to help fund selected research projects related to
China Studies.
