有一位博主在网上分享他作为外籍生上清华的经验，以第三方视角讲述了申请难易程度和注意事项。那其实呢，我们意识到，并不是仅有外籍身份就可以直接申请清北这样的中国名校! 为什么这样说呢？以清华为例，我们结合中国教育部2021年颁布的政策，为大家讲解一下：国际生是如何考进 清华 的呢？
A blogger shared his experience as a foreign student studying at Tsinghua University online, recounting the difficulty level of the application and the points to note from a third-party perspective. In fact, we realize that having only a foreign nationality does not mean one can directly apply to top Chinese universities like Tsinghua and Peking University! Why do we say that? Taking Tsinghua University as an example, we will explain to you based on the policies issued by China's Ministry of Education in 2021: How do international students get admitted to Tsinghua University?
什么样的人有资格作为国际生考进清华？
Who is eligible to enter Tsinghua University as an international student?
① 申请清华国际生需要持外国国籍，但是如果申请者的父母有一方是中国国籍并定居在国外，那么申请者需要具有单一外国籍身份（满4年），在此基础上，还需要在报考国际生的近4年内有2年以上的国外生活居住记录。
International students applying to Tsinghua University must hold foreign nationality. However, if one of the applicant's parents is a Chinese citizen and resides abroad, the applicant must hold a single foreign nationality (for at least 4 years). In addition, the applicant must have a record of living abroad for at least 2 years within the past 4 years of applying for international students.
继续回到国际生话题，国际生报考清华不需要高考，那应该上什么课程呢？我们来看看...
Back to the topic of international students. Since international students don't need to take the Gaokao to apply to Tsinghua University, what courses should they take? Let's take a look...
国际生考清华需要做哪些准备？
What preparations do international students need to make to get into Tsinghua University?
高中课程：
High school courses
申请清华大学的国际生，需提交该校认可的高中阶段成绩。在众多成绩体系中，以下是较为常见且受认可：其中，国际文凭大学预科课程（IB DP） 是不少学生的选择。该课程要求学生从语言与文学、语言习得、个人与社会、科学、数学、艺术六大科目组中选修 6 门课程（部分学生可免选艺术，用其他科目组课程替代），覆盖语言、数学、科学、文科等多个领域。
International students applying to Tsinghua University are required to submit high school transcripts recognized by the university. Among the various grading systems, the following are relatively common and recognized: The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP) is a choice for many students. This programme requires students to select 6 courses from six subject groups: Language and Literature, Language Acquisition, Individuals and Societies, Sciences, Mathematics, and the Arts (some students may be exempt from the Arts and replace it with courses from other subject groups), covering multiple fields such as language, mathematics, science, and liberal arts.
除 IB 体系外，美国的AP 课程、英国的A-Level 课程等国际主流课程成绩，同样被清华大学认可，可作为申请时的成绩依据。
In addition to the IB system, scores from other mainstream international courses such as the Advanced Placement (AP) courses in the United States and the A-Level courses in the United Kingdom are also recognized by Tsinghua University and can be used as the score basis for applications.
值得注意的是，IB 学生申请清华时有一个特殊流程：由于清华国际生申请通常在每年 1 月左右启动，而 IB 最终成绩要到当年 7 月才公布，因此学生需提交学校出具的IB 预估分，清华大学会以这份预估分作为重要参考，开展申请审核与录取评估工作。
It is worth noting that IB students have a special process when applying to Tsinghua University: since Tsinghua University's international student applications usually start around January each year, while IB final scores are not released until July of the same year, students need to submit the IB predicted scores issued by their schools. Tsinghua University will use these predicted scores as an important reference to carry out application review and admission evaluation work.

| A-Level 课程
A-Level Courses It is a British high school system course, adopting a two-year system. The curriculum includes more than 70 courses for students to choose from, and generally, students select 3-4 courses to study. In the first year (AS stage), students choose 4-5 courses, and in the second year (A2 stage), they choose 3-5 courses. After obtaining the final grades, students can receive the A-Level certificate. This course and its assessment system are standardized and rigorous, and the exam results are recognized by universities in most countries around the world. There are no compulsory courses, and students can choose subjects according to their interests and career plans. |
|
AP Courses Advanced Placement courses in the United States consist of 38 subjects, divided into 7 major categories, including arts, English, history and social sciences, etc. AP courses are the most recognized international curriculum system by all American universities and are the preferred courses for students aiming to study at Ivy League universities in the United States. Separated from high school basic courses, AP courses are suitable for students who have good grades in basic courses and have extra time to take electives. American university applications prefer science students. There are more science subjects in AP courses, so students who are inclined to science have more advantages in them. |
| IB 课程
IB Courses A curriculum system covering primary school to pre-university education. The IBDP is aimed at high school students aged 16-19, with a two-year study duration. The courses are divided into standard-level courses and higher-level courses. Students are required to take at least six courses, among which at least three are higher-level courses, and each course is scored out of 7 points. The curriculum covers six subject groups and three core courses. It has strong international universality, is widely recognized by schools in many countries and regions around the world, and enjoys an extremely high international reputation. |
| DSE 课程
DSE Courses It is a public examination organized by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority. Candidates can choose to answer questions in one of the languages: English, Simplified Chinese, or Traditional Chinese. Chinese students who take the DSE exam can enter the Hong Kong JUPAS system, with the same admission requirements as Hong Kong students. Compared with applying with Gaokao scores, the admission rate is significantly higher. Students with "Hong Kong and Macau nationality" who take the DSE exam can also participate in the "Non-examination Enrollment Program" to apply for prestigious universities in the Mainland such as Tsinghua University and Peking University. |
高中学习过程中，学生不仅要完成学科学习与考核，还需提交多份独立研究报告，高中阶段结束前，还需撰写一篇核心毕业论文（EE）。此外，CAS（创造、活动、服务）环节也是毕业必备，要求学生参与社区公益、体育锻炼、创意实践等活动，全方位展现综合能力。
During the high school study process, students not only need to complete subject learning and assessments but also submit multiple independent research reports. Before the end of the high school stage, they also need to write a core Extended Essay (EE). In addition, the CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) component is also a requirement for graduation, which requires students to participate in community public welfare, physical exercise, creative practice and other activities to comprehensively demonstrate their comprehensive abilities.
申请文书
personal statement：
文书中需重点呈现4大核心内容：
The document should focus on presenting 4 core contents:
举例：报考清华政治经济哲学（PPE）专业
Example: Applying for the Politics, Philosophy and Economics (PPE) program at Tsinghua University
一是个人亮点与成长轨迹，需结合具体经历体现能力优势与成长逻辑，比如若申请清华的政治经济哲学（PPE）专业，可着重讲述通过辩论活动接触国际议题的过程 —— 例如参与某国际辩论赛时，围绕 “全球发展不平等” 议题展开调研与思辨。
First,Personal highlights and growth trajectory should reflect one's strengths and growth logic through specific experiences. For example, when applying for the Politics, Philosophy, and Economics (PPE) program at Tsinghua University, one can focus on the process of engaging with international issues through debate activities — such as researching and contemplating the topic of "global development inequality" while participating in an international debate competition.
二是选择中国的原因，可从文化认知、学术资源、现实观察等角度切入，比如对中国在全球治理中角色的关注、对中国特色发展模式的研究兴趣，或希望亲身感受中国社会实践以拓宽国际视野；
Second,Reasons for choosing China can be approached from perspectives such as cultural cognition, academic resources, and practical observations. For instance, one's attention to China's role in global governance, research interest in China's distinctive development model, or desire to personally experience China's social practices to broaden one's international perspective.
三是申请清华大学的理由，避免空泛表述，可结合清华在 PPE 领域的学科特色（如跨学科培养体系、知名学者研究方向、相关学术平台资源等），说明清华如何匹配个人学术追求；
Third,Reasons for applying to Tsinghua University should avoid vague expressions. Instead, they can be combined with Tsinghua's disciplinary characteristics in the field of PPE (such as its interdisciplinary training system, research directions of renowned scholars, related academic platform resources, etc.) to explain how Tsinghua aligns with one's academic pursuits.
四是申请专业的适配性，需串联个人学术积累与专业诉求，例如高中阶段系统阅读《正义论》《国富论》等政治哲学经典书籍，形成对 “公平与效率”“市场与政府” 等核心议题的初步思考；通过网络平台选修 “政治哲学导论”“全球经济学” 等网课，补充专业知识框架；参与 “青少年模拟联合国”“社区公共政策调研” 等项目时，尝试用 PPE 跨学科视角分析现实问题，以此证明自己具备学习该专业的基础与潜力。
Fourth,Compatibility with the applied major needs to connect one's academic accumulation with professional aspirations. For example, during high school, systematically reading classic political philosophy books such as *A Theory of Justice* and *The Wealth of Nations*, forming preliminary thoughts on core issues like "fairness and efficiency" and "market and government"; supplementing the professional knowledge framework by taking online courses such as "Introduction to Political Philosophy" and "Global Economics" on online platforms; and attempting to analyze practical issues from an interdisciplinary PPE perspective when participating in projects like "Youth Model United Nations" and "Community Public Policy Research", thereby proving that one has the foundation and potential to study this major.
值得注意的是，清华国际生文书审核逻辑与英美顶尖大学相似，并非仅关注成绩，而是希望通过文书全方位判断申请者的学术潜力、价值观与综合素质 —— 比如你对学术问题的探究热情、面对挑战时的成长蜕变、未来能否融入清华的学术氛围并为校园社群带来独特价值，这些都是文书需要传递的关键信息。
It is worth noting that the logic for reviewing application essays of international students at Tsinghua University is similar to that of top universities in the UK and the US. It does not solely focus on grades, but rather aims to comprehensively evaluate applicants' academic potential, values, and overall qualities through their essays. For example, your passion for exploring academic issues, your growth and transformation when facing challenges, and whether you can integrate into Tsinghua's academic atmosphere in the future and bring unique value to the campus community—these are all key pieces of information that the essays need to convey.
课外活动：
Extracurricular activities:
在申请名校的材料中，高中阶段的课外活动与获奖经历是展现个人潜力、价值观与影响力的关键，需清晰呈现经历细节、个人角色、实际成果及正向价值，具体可优化表达为：
In the materials for applying to prestigious schools, extracurricular activities and award-winning experiences during high school are key to demonstrating one's potential, values, and influence. It is necessary to clearly present the details of the experiences, personal roles, actual achievements, and positive values. Specifically, the expression can be optimized as:
文书中可系统梳理高中时期的核心实践经历，包括社团参与与 leadership（领导力）实践、公益服务项目、学科与综合类竞赛、科研探索项目四大维度。
In the document, one can systematically sort out the core practical experiences during high school, including four dimensions: Participation in clubs and leadership practice, public welfare service projects, disciplinary and comprehensive competitions, and scientific research exploration projects.
描述时需紧扣 “角色 - 行动 - 成果 - 影响” 的逻辑，避免泛泛而谈，例如：
When describing, you must closely follow the logic of "role - action - outcome - impact" and avoid vague statements. For example:
参与 “模拟联合国社团” 并担任秘书长时，可说明如何牵头组织校内模联大会（如协调 20 + 参会代表、设计 “全球气候治理” 议题研讨环节），最终推动活动覆盖全校 300 + 师生，帮助参与者深化对国际议题的认知； When participating in the "Model United Nations Club" and serving as the Secretary-General, one can explain how they took the lead in organizing the on-campus Model UN conference (such as coordinating over 20 participating delegates and designing the discussion session on the topic of "Global Climate Governance"), ultimately promoting the event to cover more than 300 teachers and students across the school and helping participants deepen their understanding of international issues. |
开展 “社区长者数字反诈骗” 公益项目时，可阐述作为项目发起人的策划过程（如调研社区老人需求、设计简易防骗手册、组织 5 场线下宣讲），最终帮助 80% 参与老人掌握基础防骗技巧，相关经验还被本地 3 个社区借鉴推广； When carrying out the public welfare project "Digital Anti-Fraud for Elderly in Communities", the planning process as the project initiator can be elaborated (such as investigating the needs of elderly people in the community, designing a simple anti-fraud manual, and organizing 5 offline lectures). Eventually, 80% of the participating elderly people will master basic anti-fraud skills, and the relevant experience has also been learned and promoted by 3 local communities. |
参加 “全国中学生哲学辩论赛” 时，可说明作为辩手如何带领团队研究 “科技伦理” 辩题（如查阅 20 + 学术文献、模拟 10 + 轮攻防演练），最终斩获省级二等奖，同时带动团队成员养成严谨的逻辑思辨习惯； When participating in the "National High School Students' Philosophy Debate Competition", one can explain how, as a debater, they led the team in researching the debate topic of "technology ethics" (such as reviewing more than 20 academic papers and conducting over 10 rounds of simulated attack and defense drills), ultimately winning the provincial second prize, while also helping team members develop rigorous logical thinking habits. |
参与 “城市低收入群体教育资源调研” 科研项目时，可描述作为数据整理与分析负责人的工作（如采集 100 + 份问卷、用 Excel 进行交叉分析），最终形成的调研报告为本地公益组织提供了教育帮扶方向参考。 When participating in the scientific research project "Research on Educational Resources for Urban Low-Income Groups", one can describe the work as the person in charge of data collation and analysis (such as collecting more than 100 questionnaires and conducting cross-analysis using Excel). The final research report provided a reference for local public welfare organizations on the direction of educational assistance. |
名校选拔的核心逻辑之一，是寻找具备 “改变潜力” 的申请者 ，因此，经历描述中需突出 “影响力” 的延伸：无论是通过社团活动带动他人成长，通过公益项目解决具体社会问题，还是通过竞赛、科研积累推动认知边界拓展，本质都是在证明：你具备从 “参与” 到 “引领”、从 “完成任务” 到 “创造价值” 的思维与能力，而这正是未来能够对行业、社会产生积极影响的重要基础。
One of the core logics in the selection process of prestigious schools is to find applicants with "potential for change". Therefore, descriptions of experiences need to highlight the extension of "influence": whether it is driving the growth of others through club activities, solving specific social problems through public welfare projects, or promoting the expansion of cognitive boundaries through competition and research accumulation, the essence is to prove that you possess the thinking and ability to move from "participation" to "leadership" and from "completing tasks" to "creating value". And this is precisely an important foundation for being able to have a positive impact on industries and society in the future.

2份推荐信：
Recommenders can be teachers or people you have come into contact with in extracurricular activities. The key is that through others' true observations and evaluations, it can further confirm what kind of person you are and the influence you possess.
其他加分项：
Other Bonus Items:
For example, having received offers from other universities can demonstrate your competitiveness; and the introduction of your high school is also crucial. If it is a prestigious school, a long-established old school, or a school with well-known alumni, such background information can indirectly confirm your growth environment and add value to your application.

The interview format will be flexibly arranged according to the applicant's location: Those who are abroad can participate in online interviews, while those in China need to take part in offline interviews + written tests, both of which are key links in the assessment.
- 面试考核重点

根据上述文字展示，显然 “国际生都能上清华” 的说法并不准确。
According to the above description, it is obvious that the statement "all international students can get into Tsinghua University" is inaccurate.
国际生申请中国名校难度并不低，并非如部分家长误解的 “拥有外国公民身份即可轻松入学”。实际上，申请需提前做好多维度规划：不仅要满足身份属性、境外居住时间等基础门槛，更需长期打磨个人履历（如学术成绩、课外活动、科研实践等），确保各环节均达到院校选拔标准，才能提升申请成功率。如需进一步了解教育规划，可以咨询中创侨智。
It is not easy for international students to apply to top universities in China, and it is not the case, as some parents mistakenly believe, that "having foreign citizenship allows for easy admission." In fact, applicants need to make multi-dimensional preparations in advance: they must not only meet basic requirements such as identity attributes and overseas residence duration but also polish their personal resumes over the long term (including academic performance, extracurricular activities, research practices, etc.). Only by ensuring that all aspects meet the selection criteria of the institutions can the success rate of the application be improved. For further information on education planning, you can consult Zhongchuang QiaoZhi.
