Description

The LSE-PKU Summer School is a two-week programme based at Peking University, running from Monday 6 to Friday 17 August 2012. Participants take one course from the list below, each designed and taught by members of academic staff from the London School of Economics and Political Science and Peking University, two of the world's leading institutions for teaching and research. Full details and course outlines for the 2012 will be available on our website in late 2011.

The courses total 48 contact hours (usually 36 hours of lectures and 12 hours of classes), and are formally assessed to allow the award of an official transcript. Whilst neither LSE nor PKU formally award credit for the programme, many previous participants have been able to receive credit from their home institutions we are very happy to provide any information to assist with this. All courses are taught in English, and there is the opportunity for participants to undertake ten hours beginners Chinese language tuition alongside the programme.

The LSE-PKU Summer School attracts students and professionals from around the world, 346 participants of 49 nationalities in 2011. One quarter of participants are graduate professionals working in a wide range of related fields, including business, finance, public policy, international affairs, NGOs, media and law. The students who attended in 2011 came from over 165 university and other higher education institutions in 33 countries.
