The Schwarzman Scholars Program is a fully funded, one-year Master’s degree and leadership programme at Tsinghua University in Beijing, designed to prepare the next generation of global leaders by deepening their understanding of China’s role in global affairs. Scholars pursue a core curriculum focused on one of three concentrations Public Policy, Economics and Business, or International Studies with all classes conducted in English. Beyond coursework, the programme offers extensive leadership development, mentorship, guest lectures, and cultural immersion opportunities, including site visits and an in-country study tour across China.
