Beijing 6-17 August 2012
The London School of Economics and Political Science and Peking University have collaboratively run the LSE-PKU Summer School in Beijing every summer since 2004.
The two-week English-language international Summer School offers university-level courses in subjects including economics, management, international relations, media and law, all with a focus on China and Asia.
The programme is taught by outstanding faculty from Peking University and LSE. It attracts students and professionals from around the world: over 340 students from 49 nationalities in 2011. More than a fifth of participants are graduate professionals working in a wide range of related fields, including business, finance, public policy, international affairs, NGOs, the media and law. The students who attended in 2011 came from 165 universities and other higher education institutions.
Participants take one intensive course for the duration of the summer school, typically comprising four hours of lectures each morning and two hours of classes each afternoon – a total of 48 contact hours over two weeks.
The course will be assessed, including a final examination, and successful students are awarded a certificate and transcript.
The LSE-PKU Summer School is not a Chinese language course. However, LSE-PKU Summer School participants are eligible to enrol in Chinese language courses at the prestigious Language School at Peking Univeristy.
Applications for the 2012 LSE-PKU Summer School are now open and can be submitted through this website|.
