The programme
The programme is taught by outstanding faculty from Peking University and LSE. It attracts students and professionals from around the world: 410 students from more than 50 nationalities in 2012.
A quarter 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 2012 came from 200 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.
