Peking University, April 23, 2021: The Peking University International Summer Institute (PKUISI) is dedicated to providing students from around the world with accurate and concise information on the summer programs each year. Students can make choices and select the summer program which best matches their interests.
The PKUISI is not

for all students by connecting all summer school programs through a common
theme.
After months of reviewing the performance of PKUISI 2020, the staff of the PKU
Office of International Relations and the College of Engineering have been
working around the clock with faculty members of the University and partners,
to have 4 summer school programs available to students, and set "Summer
School at PKU, Start of Something New" as the theme of this year's PKUISI.

andexpand social networks, but will also gain new knowledge through curricular
and extracurricular activities provided by these programs.
