Tsinghua University in Beijing welcomed more than 3,700 new undergraduate students on Wednesday.
More than 3,400 of them are from Chinese mainland, and more than 80 hail from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. The university also welcomed around 200 international students from 33 countries and regions. The youngest of the new undergraduate students is only 14 years old.
The university has increased its enrollment of medical students this year, as nurturing medical talent is a key goal for the university during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25).
A total of 440 students are enrolled this year through special programs in rural areas and under-developed regions, exceeding the enrollment target by 42 percent.
