Students are accepted to bachelor's programs at PKU based on the results of entrance exams.
It is impossible to enter PKU for a master's program without confirming knowledge of the English language. You can do this by passing IELTS or TOEFL. The minimum IELTS score for admission is 6.5. TOEFL — 99 or higher.
If you decide to pursue a career in science and enroll in a doctoral program, you must pass the language exam — TOEFL. TOEFL — 90.
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.

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.
