Overview

Peking University (abbreviated PKUor Beida or in chinese “北京大学” or “北大”)is a comprehensive and national key university. It is the first modern national university established in China, founded as the Imperial University of Peking in 1898 as a replacement of the ancient Guozijian(Imperial College or in chinese “国子监”). It also served as the highest administration for education in China at the beginning of its founding. The campus, renowned for its beauty of taditiona Chinese architecture, is known as "Yan Yuan”(the garden of Yan) , is situated at Haidian District in the western suburb of Beijing.

The university has effectively combined research on important scientific subjects with the training of personnel with a high level of specialized knowledge and professional skill as demanded by the country's socialist modernization. It strives not only for improvements in teaching and research work, but also for the promotion of interaction and mutual promotion among various disciplines.  Thus Peking University has become a center for teaching and research and a university of a new type, embracing diverse branches of learning such as basic and applied sciences, social sciences and the humanities, and sciences of medicine, management, and education. Its aim is to rank among the world's best universities in the future.
