Peking University – Chinese Language Studies Program

Peking University's International College for Chinese Language Education (北京大学对外汉语教育学院) is the university's dedicated unit for teaching Chinese to international students. The campus address is 5 Yiheyuan Road, Haidian District, Beijing 100871—the main Peking University campus gate address in the northwest of the city, near the Summer Palace.

Courses

The college offers non-degree Chinese language instruction at multiple proficiency levels, covering core language skills as well as Chinese Culture and Advanced Chinese Writing modules. It serves international students ranging from complete beginners to near-native speakers seeking academic or professional Chinese proficiency.

Location

The campus is located within Peking University's historic main campus on Yiheyuan Road in Haidian District, one of Beijing's premier academic corridors. The surrounding area includes numerous research institutions, international student dormitories, and cultural sites, making it a well-established environment for language immersion.

The semester format makes this a different option from enrolling on a degree. A visiting student is joining a structured language cohort on a university campus. Level placement matters because students working on foundational speaking and reading have different needs from those ready for more advanced written Chinese.
