London School of Economics and Political Science and Peking University
Beijing 8-19 August 2011

The London School of Economics and Political Science and Peking University have collaboratively run the LSE-PKU Summer School in Beijing every summer since 2004. The two-week English-language international Summer School offers university-level courses in subjects including economics, management, international relations, media and law, all with a focus on China and Asia. The programme is taught by outstanding faculty from Peking University and LSE.

The programme attracts students and professionals from around the world, over 275 students from 52 nationalities in 2010. More than a quarter of participants are graduate professionals working in a wide range of related fields, including business, finance, public policy, international affairs, NGOs, media and law. The students who attended in 2010 came from over 120 university and other higher education institutions.

Participants take one intensive course for the duration of the summer school, typically comprising four hours of lectures each morning and two hours of classes each afternoon – a total of 48 contact hours over two weeks. The course will be assessed , including a final examination, and successful students are awarded a certificate and transcript.
