  • During this year‘s spring term I left Munich for Beijing to pursue my exchange semester at Peking University (PKU). Studying in China as a foreigner that has never been to the country before was super exciting. I absolutely loved my time there and wanted to share one (relatively typical) day there with you - So follow me along at China's most prestigious university.
    Enjoy!

    There, on that campus, I walked with Chen Duxiu, Hu Shih and Li Dazhao talking about the future of China. I didn't like Hu Shih very much but he was a great person. We had serious political differences, for some reason he ended up living in Taiwan.

    Hey man, great video! It really helped me get a better feel for what studying in China, specifically Beijing, would be like! I am interested in applying to PKU and was wondering if you could help me with one question I had. You mentioned in the video that one of your classes was studying Chinese business culture, which led me to believe that it was along the realm of business/international business. Could you tell me what your major is? I would like to pursue a bachelor's in international business/relations in an English course (I have taken Mandarin for years, but I am not fluent enough to take a class in it haha), but have had no luck in finding a course such as that available at PKU. Any information you have would be extremely great. Again, great video!

    • @nikolaimadlener
      @nikolaimadlener  5 месяцев назад

      The course was called "Chinese Society and Business Culture". It could be that it is not offered each semester (I took it during the summer term). It is offered by the Guanghua School of Management.
      My major is CS (so not related at all), but since I was a general visiting student I could take courses from any faculty.
      Hope that helps.

    • @nikolaimadlener
      @nikolaimadlener  8 месяцев назад +1

      That was at the Nongyuan canteen.
      The first class was called „Chinese Society and Business Culture“. Really liked it and can recommend it if you wanna learn more about China in general. Didn‘t take any econ courses tho, just comp sci and management.
      I stayed at Global Village like all the international students :)

    • @nikolaimadlener
      @nikolaimadlener  10 месяцев назад +3

      Lovely! Just keep in mind that PKU is moving it‘s CS departments gradually to the new Changping campus. It‘s a little outside the city with kinda poor public transport. Thus, for CS related degrees, I would also consider Tsinghua.
      All the best for your future endeavours!

    • @nikolaimadlener
      @nikolaimadlener  16 дней назад

      Global Village kann ich sehr Empfehlen. Du kriegst da auf jeden Fall ein Einzelzimmer (innerhalb der 2er oder 3er WGs die sie dort haben).
      Ausnahme ist das BayChina Stipendium, da wäre nur ein geteiltes Zimmer inkludiert.

    Was für einen GPA braucht man für Peking University?

    • @nikolaimadlener
      @nikolaimadlener  7 месяцев назад

      Denke nicht, dass man das pauschalisieren kann. Das hängt wahrscheinlich von mehreren Faktoren, wie Study program etc. ab. War selbst nur Exchange Sudent an der PKU, deshalb solltest du dich eher an Ansprechpartner der PKU bzw deiner Heimat Uni wenden.

    • @atomicnxmi9791
      @atomicnxmi9791 7 месяцев назад

      Die Uni Wien ist leider keine Partner Universität mit der Peking Uni. Mich würde nur generell interessieren, ob bei dir zum Beispiel ein gewisser Notendurchschnitt verlangt wurde, um dich für das Auslandssemester zu bewerben.@@nikolaimadlener

    • @nikolaimadlener
      @nikolaimadlener  8 месяцев назад +2

      I didn't speak any chinese before my exchange and I had an amazing time there. Of course, it will make life way easier if you speak mandarin when going to China, but you can also just pick it up while being there by taking a language course for example. In my opinion, they best way to learn a language is learning it IN the actual country :)
