PKU campus
The campus of PKU is located in Beijing. This is a fairly large city that opens up many opportunities for students: from cafes, restaurants and other entertainment to internships at large companies. But an urban campus can also be a disadvantage, because big city life distracts some students from their studies. The university has a functioning library. In addition to educational materials in various scientific areas, it contains a collection of classical and contemporary literature.

What to do after graduation
There are several options to stay in the country after graduation. One of them is to get an offer from an employer and apply for a work visa. Read more about this on the embassy website. Graduates of PKU are in demand in the labor market, as the reputation of the educational institution among employers is quite high according to the results of the QS world ranking.
