Tsinghua University
(
THU
; (
ZH
) ), colloquially known in Chinese as
Qinghua
, is a
university
in
Beijing
,
China
. The school is one of the nine universities of the
C9 League
. It was established in 1911 under the name "Tsinghua Xuetang" or "Tsinghua College" and was renamed the "Tsinghua School" one year later. The university section was founded in 1925 and the name "National Tsinghua University" was adopted in 1928. With a motto of
Self-Discipline and Social Commitment
, Tsinghua University describes itself as being dedicated to academic excellence, the well-being of Chinese society and to global development.
[1]
Tsinghua is often ranked as the first or second best university in
mainland China
in many national and international rankings.
[2]
[3]
[4]
Since American Secretary of State John Hay suggested that the US$ 30 millions plus
Boxer Rebellion
indemnity money paid to the
United States
was too excessive, on 1909, President Roosevelt then obtained congress approval to reduce the
Qing Dynasty
indemnity payment by US$ 10.8 millions, on the condition that the said fund was to be used as scholarship for Chinese students to study in the United States. Using this fund, the Tsinghua College (?華學堂
Q?nghua Xuetang
) was established in
Beijing
,
China
, on 22 April 1911 on the site of a former royal garden belonging to a prince.
[5]
It was first a preparatory school for students later sent by the government to study in the
United States
. The faculty members for sciences were recruited by the
YMCA
from the
United States
and its graduates transferred directly to American schools as juniors upon graduation. In 1925, the school established its College Department and started its research institute on Chinese Study.
In 1928, the authority officially changed its name to National Tsing Hua University (NTHU). During the
Second World War
in 1937, Tsinghua University along with
Peking University
and
Nankai University
, merged to form Changsha Temporary University in
Changsha
, and later
National Southwestern Associated University
in
Kunming
of Yunnan province. After the war, Tsinghua moved back to Beijing and resumed its operation.
After the communist takeover at the end of the
Chinese Civil War
in 1949, which led to the creation of the People's Republic of China (PRC), Tsinghua University's then President Mei Yi-Qi, followed by many
Template:Quantify
professors, fled to
Taiwan
where they established the National Tsing Hua Institute of Nuclear Technology in 1955, which later became
National Tsing Hua University
of Taiwan.
In 1952, the Chinese government regrouped the country's higher education institutions in an attempt to build a
Soviet
style system, with individual institutions tending to specialise in a certain field of study. Tsinghua University was disassembled, losing its law school, school of agriculture, school of sciences and humanities, and became a polytechnic engineering university. Even so, Tsinghua University remained in the top tier schools in China. In many years following this regroup, the school was commonly referred to as the "
MIT
of China."
[6]
[7]
[8]
But since the 1980s, the university began to incorporate a
multidisciplinary
system. As a result, several schools were re-incorporated. These included the School of Sciences, School of Business and Management, School of Humanities and Social Sciences,
Tsinghua Law School
, School of Public Policy and Management, and the Academy of Arts and Design.
When the
Cultural Revolution
began in 1966, many university students walked out of the classrooms and formed
Red Guards
, resulting in the complete shut down of the university. Only until 1978, the university began to take in students.
[9]
Most national and international university rankings place Tsinghua amongst the best universities in
mainland China
.
[2]
[3]
[4]
Admission to Tsinghua is extremely competitive. Every year, many applicants scoring the highest in the National College Entrance Exams choose Tsinghua. In 2008, 215 out of 300 students who scored the top 10 in the 30 tested provinces and regions chose Tsinghua and 21 out of the 30 top scorers in each province and region chose the university.
[10]
A majority of selected students are among the brightest high school graduates in the country. Admissions to its graduate schools are also daunting by any measure. For instance, only 16% of MBA applicants are admitted, making it as competitive as the renowned Wharton School MBA program at the University of Pennsylvania.
[11]
The current Chinese president,
Hu Jintao
, is a former Tsinghua student who graduated with a degree in hydraulic engineering in 1964. The current Chinese vice president,
Xi Jinping
, is a former Tsinghua student who graduated with a degree in chemical engineering in 1979. The University's
Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology
is on a separate campus in a northern suburb of Beijing.
Tsinghua has a reputation for hosting some of the most distinguished guest speakers of any university in the world, with international leaders such as
Bill Clinton
,
Tony Blair
,
Henry Kissinger
,
Carlos Ghosn
, and
Henry Paulson
, all recently giving lectures to the university community.
[12]
As of 2003, Tsinghua University had 12 colleges and 48 departments, 41 research institutes, 35 research centers, and 167 laboratories, including 15 national key laboratories. In September 2006,
Peking Union Medical College
was renamed to Peking Union Medical College, Tsinghua University, although the Peking Union Medical College, Tsinghua University and Tsinghua University remain two separate institutions.
[13]
The university offers 51 bachelor's degree programs, 139 master's degree programs and 107 Ph.D. programs. Recently, Tsinghua has become the first Chinese university to offer a
Master of Laws
program in
American
law
, through a cooperative venture with the
Temple University Beasley School of Law
. The university is a member of LAOTSE, an international network of leading universities in Europe and Asia. Each year, the University celebrates the Intellectual Property Summer Institute in cooperation with
Franklin Pierce Law Center
of
Concord
,
New Hampshire
. It has its own editorial, Tsinghua University Press.

The Tsinghua School of Economics and Management (SEM) is consistently ranked one of the best among business schools in China.
[16]
It was the first mainland Chinese institution outside of
Hong Kong
to have achieved the prestigious
AACSB
and
EQUIS
accreditations for its business and accounting programs. Founded in 1984, SEM was the first economics and management school in China. Its Founding Dean, Professor Zhu Rongji, later became the fifth Premier of the People’s Republic of China. It is the successor to Tsinghua University's Department of Economics, which was established in 1926.
SEM's International MBA program is one of the most prestigious programs in the People's Republic of China. The entirely English program is offered in collaboration with the
MIT Sloan School of Management
. The school provides more than 100 MBA courses per year. Upon finishing their required courses, students can select from curricula of different tracks (enterprise management, finance and banking, enterprise innovation and management, accounting analysis and management control, e-commerce, international business administration, etc.). After two years of business and leadership education, students obtain a Masters of Business Administration (MBA) degree from Tsinghua University as well as both a certificate from the MIT Sloan School of Management and MIT Sloan affiliate alumni status. Besides the M.I.T.-Tsinghua International MBA program, international students with Chinese-language skills can also choose to apply to the full-time MBA and the part-time MBA.
[17]
SEM also offers an EMBA program in partnership with
INSEAD
. The Tsinghua-INSEAD Dual Degree Executive MBA program was initiated in 2006, and is the first program of its kind in China combining international business education with a focus on Asia. The program’s first class was opened in the summer of 2007. The program is taught jointly by the two schools’ faculties and focuses on developing the participants’ leadership skills, building their global mindsets, and honing their managerial talents. Upon successful completion of the program, participants are awarded two degrees: an EMBA degree by Tsinghua University and an MBA for Executives degree by INSEAD. Graduates become alumni of the two schools.
[18]
There are 8 majors in SEM, namely: management science and engineering, finance, economics, accounting, corporation strategy and policy, marketing, human resources management, and technology economics and management. The school also operates a number of prominent research centers, including: the Research Center for Contemporary Management, the Research Center for Technological Innovation, the National Entrepreneurship Research Center, the China Center for Financial Research, the National Center for Economic Research, the China Retail Research Center, the China Business Research Center, the Center for China in the World Economy, the Research Center for Contemporary Management and Technological Innovation, and the China Insurance and Risk Management Research Center.
Today both SEM's professional and academic programs are considered one of the premier training grounds for China's business leaders.
[19]
The Tsinghua School of Journalism and Communication (TSJC) was established in April 2002. Its predecessor was Communication Studies in the Department of Chinese Language and Literature and its establishment of coincides with the development of media increasingly influencing world affairs in a time of fast-growing globalization. The school's research fields include International Communication, Film and Television Studies, New Media Studies, Media Operation and Management, and Business Journalism and are based on comprehensive academic research in journalism and communication theories. The objective of the school is to bring full advantage of Tsinghua University's comprehensive academic structure to Chinese and international media, to construct a first-rate discipline in journalism and communication studies, to cultivate talented professionals in the field and to explore advanced concepts in journalism and communication. The school also offers a two-year graduate program in international business journalism, sponsored by
Bloomberg (azienda)
and the
International Center for Journalists (ICFJ)
, that trains talented students and media professionals from around the globe in financial media and corporate communication.
[20]
The school has five research-oriented centers to organize and conduct academic research activities. They are: Center for International Communications Studies, Center for New Media Studies, Center for Film and Television Studies, Center for Media Management Studies and Center for Cultural Industry Studies.
[20]
The first and present dean of the school is Fan Jingyi, a notable chief editor of People's Daily during the period of 1990s.

fourth generation of Chinese leadership
, and are purported to hold reformist and hesitantly pro-
democratic
ideas (a number have studied in the

Hu Yaobang
). In the PRC, their ascendance to power began in 2008 at the 17th National Congress of the
CPC
.
[34]
Tsinghua graduates who have political prominence are disproportionately greater in number than graduates of other famous universities. Among the nine standing committees at the
Politburo
, there are four Tsinghua graduates; among the 24 Politburo committee members, there are five; and of all the "leaders of the party and the country", there are 10.
The Tsinghua clique also referred to a group of
Nationalist Chinese
politicians who held high power in the
Republic of China
government and fled to
Taiwan
with the government during the
Chinese Civil War
. All of them are deceased.
