At Tsinghua, we encourage every student to embrace the world. Tsinghua University launched its first global strategy in 2016. Focusing on this strategy, Tsinghua will cultivate top-level innovative talent with “global competency”, carry out research on serving the country and the world, and comprehensively enhance its global reputation and influence. Among many measures to implement this strategy, Tsinghua has created the following institutions: the Global Innovation eXchange Institute in the Seattle area of the United States; the China-Italy Design Innovation Hub in Milan, Italy; a base in Geneva, Switzerland, where Chinese students
are trained and prepared for internships and employment opportunities at international organizations; and initiated the Asian Universities Alliance, a selective group of the most prestigious universities in their respective countries in Asia.
In accordance with the global strategy, Tsinghua promotes global competence as an integral component of students’ academic curriculum, co-curriculum and extracurricular activities through extensive international learning opportunities. Tsinghua strives to endow its students with a thorough understanding of world history and global issues, proficiency in foreign languages, and social competence and leadership skills.
Tsinghua has a focus on creating programs that blend global leadership development with a strong foundation in interdisciplinary thinking, including the renowned Schwarzman Scholars program, the GIX (Global Innovation eXchange) program, and programs at the Tsinghua SIGS (Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School). With an emphasis on entrepreneurship and innovation, on-campus platforms such as the x-lab, iCenter, and Future Laboratory help the students gain valuable skills across disciplines.
In recent years, Tsinghua University has developed strategic partnerships and collaboration with universities, organizations and enterprises throughout the world. Tsinghua continues to develop overseas opportunities for students to study, research and undertake internships abroad, while fostering a rich international environment on campus for all students.
