Applying to Tsinghua University is a highly structured, holistic process that emphasizes both academic perfection and outstanding extracurricular achievements. • The Application Portal: International students must apply directly through the Tsinghua University International Student (Undergraduate) Application System. • The Application Timeline: Tsinghua usually conducts its international admissions across three main rounds: • First Round: Typically opens in late August and closes in mid-October. • Second Round: Late October to late November. • Third Round: Mid-December to early January. (Applying in the earlier rounds is highly recommended for scholarship consideration). • Holistic Review & The Interview: Tsinghua evaluates international applicants based on a comprehensive document review (grades, personal statement, recommendation letters, and proof of major awards/achievements). If you pass the initial screening, you will be invited to a Comprehensive Evaluation / Interview. This rigorous interview tests your academic depth, critical thinking, and language skills. For some specific programs like Art or Architecture, a portfolio or additional written test is required. • Language Requirement: The vast majority of undergraduate programs are taught entirely in Mandarin Chinese. International students must provide proof of high-level proficiency, typically a New HSK Level 5 (with a score of 200 or above). However, realistically, an HSK Level 6 is highly recommended to survive the intense, fast-paced technical lectures. Note: If a student's native language is Chinese or they can prove they studied in a Chinese-medium high school (like an Independent Chinese Secondary School with UEC), the HSK requirement can often be waived.
