A Master’s Degree That Builds Global Leaders!
Offered at the world-renowned Tsinghua University in Beijing, the Schwarzman Scholars program is more than a degree — it’s a launchpad into the world of global affairs. In just 11 fully funded months, you’ll earn a Master’s in Global Affairs while gaining firsthand experience in China’s political, economic, and cultural landscape. With courses taught in English, students from all disciplines and nationalities are welcome.
But the real magic? It’s what happens beyond the classroom:
-
- World-class leadership development
- Global travel seminars throughout China
- Mentorship from influential global figures
- Professional internships and career support
- Lifelong connections with a diverse cohort of peers.
