Yenching Academy Fellowship
| Description |
|---|
The Yenching Academy of Peking University offers a Master's degree in China Studies. This specially designed, English-taught program admits approximately 125 students per year from around the world, and aims to push the study of China beyond the boundaries of traditionally defined Humanities and Social Sciences disciplines. It creates space to incorporate the diverse backgrounds and experiences of program participants into the study of ancient, modern, and contemporary China, effectively acting as an incubator for innovative approaches to past, present, and future Chinese transformations. Fellowships for international Yenching Scholars, which cover airfare, tuition/fees, and a single dorm room on campus, are for 12 months, during the course of which Scholars complete their coursework and may complete the thesis. Financial aid is available for those who wish to remain on campus for a second year. Degrees are granted upon completion of all coursework and satisfactory defense of the thesis, and awarded in January and July of each year. Scholars have flexibility to create their own study paths by choosing courses and a thesis topic from 6 academic research areas in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Chinese language training is provided for all international students, in accordance with their level of proficiency.
