Yenching Academy Scholars Program

The Yenching Academy of Peking University offers a prestigious fellowship program for an interdisciplinary master's degree in China Studies. This initiative brings together young people who have demonstrated a talent for leadership and innovation, immersing them in an intensive learning environment where they can explore China and its role in the world—past, present, and future. The Academy provides full fellowships to its Scholars, offering a wide array of interdisciplinary courses on China within broadly defined fields of the humanities and social sciences. Working closely with academic mentors, Yenching Scholars create their own study paths by choosing courses from six research areas. The program includes participation in extracurricular activities and field studies, providing exceptional opportunities for intercultural exchanges and interdisciplinary learning, with both personal and professional development.
