One of China’s most prestigious universities, Tsinghua University, in Beijing, plans to increase the percentage of international graduate students it enrolls from 7 percent to 10 percent, reports the Associated Press. “Top universities around the world without an English-based curriculum have about 10 percent foreign students in their graduate programs, so we’re aiming for close to that number by 2020,” said Wu Yunxin, director of the foreign-student-affairs office at Tsinghua. Tsinghua now has about 1,000 foreign students enrolled in its master’s and doctoral programs, almost a fivefold increase since 2004.
