Tsinghua University

Tsinghua University is a major public research university in Beijing and China's most prestigious institution, often called 'China's MIT.' It is a leader in engineering, technology, and computer science, but also maintains strong programs in the sciences, management, and humanities. It is a key driver of China's technological and economic development. The target audience is the absolute top scorers on China's national college entrance exam (Gaokao) and elite international students. Tuition is low by global standards, especially for domestic students.

Tsinghua ranks highly for its dominant position in Chinese higher education, its massive research output and funding, its beautiful campus, and its production of many of China's political and technological leaders.
