Founded in 1985, Guanghua's influence spans key geographical regions in China. Besides Beijing, we have four other teaching locations in Shanghai, Shenzhen, Xi'an, and Chengdu, which are all economic and business development centers of China. Each location offers a distinctive focus on the changing business landscape in China in order to provide a comprehensive insight into understanding the China market. Students will have the opportunity to travel to all the teaching locations via organized study trips to visit local companies as well as to network with fellow business students and top industry professionals。
Guanghua School of Management is located inside Peking University, one of China’s most prestigious institutes of higher education, which is right next door to China’s Silicon Valley. Our campus boasts some of the leading facilities in China and across Asia – from Olympic sporting facilities to modern and comprehensive array of libraries to state-of-the-art computer labs and innovation hubs. With the beautiful backdrop of the Weiming Lake, the focal point of the campus, as well as China’s former Imperial Gardens, the campus offers a relaxing yet dynamic environment at the very heart of China.
As a university-based business school, Guanghua School of Management has, and shares, some of the most advanced facilities and resources in the country:
The mission of the institute is to build a high-level platform for international communication and cross-cultural cooperation for the cultivation of political and business leaders for countries in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
The institute will also act as the think tank to support BRI policy making and business practices, as well as link Guanghua’s world-class research and teaching capabilities to create new knowledge and talented ‘One Belt One Road Scholars’ to further develop the initiative.
The institute will be an open platform for potential leaders to exchange their own development experiences and ideas, define key issues facing their countries and business, develop an in-depth understanding of the Chinese development model, as well as explore related opportunities and challenges.
The Peking University library is the largest library in Asia.
For the past hundred years the Library has undergone various phases of its development, including the difficult years after its founding, the period of the New Culture Movement marked by a lively concurrence of thoughts and ideas, the tough ordeals during the days of the Southwest Associated Universities, and the fast developing stage made possible by the policy of opening to the world.
The Library’s collection has been expanding, its facilities ever in the process of being improved, and its acquisitions of new equipment and technology always being up to date. All this has made the Library an age-old yet modern Chinese library with magnitude in every aspect, winning an international reputation as one of the most important and best managed libraries in the country.
The very edifice of Peking University Library chronicles the dedication and pursuit of generations of its staff, its shape being the perennial embodiment of our dreams and wishes. The past hundred years will go down in history with our proud achievements, and the future years will prove that our visions and efforts will not turn futile.
