London at night

Partnership Summer Programme for Tsinghua Students


This short course is specifically for Xinya College students from Tsinghua University and forms part of our summer programme

It provides an excellent opportunity for Tsinghua students to experience London and LSE. 

I have welcomed many groups of students from Universities in China. I am always impressed at how quickly they adapt to life in London and become part of the LSE community.
