The School of Computer Science Holds First Summer Camp for International Students

This year, from July 12-14, the School of Computer Science at Peking University organized a 3-day online summer camp for international students. 10 professors from different areas within the School of Computer Science were invited to give talks on their research during the 3-day event. Around 200 students signed up forthe summer camp. Shu Yang, the International Student Coordinator hosted the event.

Afterwards, the 10 professors joined the opening by sharing a short introduction of themselves so that the students can get to know them better.

In order to enhance the interactivity of virtual events, 2 current international students at the School of Computer Science were invited as well. One Master student, Srbuhi Mirzoyan, from Armenia, and one PhD student, Jun Hoong Chan, from Malaysia. Both of them shared their experience studying at Peking University, either on-site or online, and answered questions from participants.

The rest of the 2.5 days were presented by the 10 professors, and thank you for their effort, the interactive rate was excellent!

After the 3-day summer camp, we are happy to see the outcome of the summer camp through students’ reflection paper. Not only helped them to gain more insights of Computer Science, but also, increased their interest in studying at PKU, or even China! That being said, if you are interested in our international program or have any questions regarding it, please contact us atgradadmissions.cs@pku.edu.cn. You are all welcome here! We cannot wait to see more international students choose to study at the School of Computer Science at Peking University in the future!
