Welcome Message

Dear students,
Welcome to Tsinghua University.
Since its founding back in 1911, Tsinghua University has had a focus on internationalization,
and was one of the first Chinese universities to admit international students. In 2024, over
3000 international students from 132 countries were enrolled at Tsinghua, who help to promote
cross-cultural exchanges and create a more internationalized campus.
The International Students & Scholars Center (ISSC) supports and serves international
students and scholars throughout their Tsinghua experience. The center is a hub of
information and resources for the international community, including for immigration and
visas, residency, university services, campus life and cultural activities. ISSC aims to foster an
inspired and dynamic international community to help every international student and scholar
thrive at Tsinghua. The ISSC staff are dedicated to ensuring that the international community
is supported, nurtured and represented at Tsinghua.
We together with colleagues at OIA and ISSC, look forward to greeting you on our beautiful
campus to begin your Tsinghua journey. We wish you all the best in the pursuit of your
educational and personal goals.
