Student Mobility
With the continuous development of higher education, the quantity and quality of globalized student education programs has become one of the important features of globalized universities around the world. To implement the university’s strategy of globalized student education, Tsinghua University continues to develop cooperation relationships with prestigious universities, research institutions and enterprises around the world, and cooperates with CSC programs and the University’s schools and departments, and sends students overseas for degree programs, joint education, student exchanges, joint research, short-term exchanges, summer internships, and international conferences. A total of 2,492 students were sent overseas in 2009 to Yale, Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Cambridge, Oxford and other world class universities. These international exchange programs have received favorable comments from faculty and students and obtained strong support of the University’s offices and schools and departments, which laid a good foundation for further extension and expansion of globalized education programs.
Tsinghua sets the goal that over 30% of undergraduates (about 1,000 per year) should have overseas study experience upon the University’s centenary in 2011. To closely combine the globalized education programs with the top creative talent training plan, a series of features programs, such as the distinguished freshmen overseas study program, the summer research program, and summer courses, have been developed, as well as further developing the student exchange programs.
