The Yenching Academy is Peking University's flagship interdisciplinary master's programme for international and Chinese students, focused on China studies across economics, politics, history, philosophy, law and related fields. It's fully funded for all admitted scholars regardless of nationality, and — similar to Schwarzman Scholars — is explicitly designed to build a global cohort with a shared grounding in contemporary China.
