Program courses are grouped into different tracks for study and practice, including Architecture, Creative City, Environment, Gender, Industry Frontier, International relations and Urbanization.
It also provides opportunities for students to experience Chinese culture and the Tsinghua spirit through cultural activities, and also for interested students to learn about future study opportunities at Tsinghua University. Through lectures, field research, roundtable discussions and project practice, the summer school curriculum harnesses an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural approach to give students a platform to gain a comprehensive understanding of Chinese issues. As a result, students will be able to express their own unique views on their chosen track topics, and publish constructive proposals at the student oriented forum and expo which will take place at the end of the course.
