Founded in 1911 as "Tsinghua Xuetang", Tsinghua University is widely regarded as one of China's leading universities and consistently ranks among the most prestigious in the world. Renowned for excellence in science, engineering and technology, it is increasingly influential in global health, medicine and interdisciplinary research.
Tsinghua University Vanke School of Public Health (VSPH) was established on April 2, 2020, with Dr. Margaret Chan, former Director-General of the World Health Organization, as its founding dean. The School's founding marked a historic milestone in Tsinghua University's mission to address national and global challenges and development priorities.
