Studies
Yenching Scholarships cover tuition, accommodation, transportation, and a living stipend for all students admitted to the Academy. Every year, scholars from across the globe are selected through an admissions process. The program's duration is one year, which is shorter than most graduate master's programs in China, where professional degrees usually require two years of study, while academic degrees generally take three years. Scholars may choose to extend their studies for a second year or pursue doctoral studies at Peking University.
The liberal undergraduate Yuanpei Program at Yuanpei College offers comparable opportunities for Peking University undergraduates.
