Welcome to the LSE and Peking University Summer School. The programme offers the opportunity to travel to Beijing and to attend a challenging course in Social Sciences. All courses have an Asian dimension and are taught in English by internationally renowned specialists in their field currently teaching either at LSE or at Peking University.
