About the Campus

The UK Campus of
the Peking University HSBC Business School

With internationalization as its goal, PHBS has taken the bold step of opening a new campus at Boars Hill, England, three miles south of the City of Oxford. Courses at the UK campus are taught by leading international scholars. 

The two-year programs focus on learning both subject-related knowledge/skills and issues related to China and the UK, and are a great opportunity for students to not only have specialist training and cross-disciplinary coursework, but also a multi-country experience and in-depth cross-cultural exposure.

Students admitted into the UK campus program will study one year on the Boars Hill campus and another year on the Shenzhen campus. Conversely, students who have enrolled on the Shenzhen campus program will also have the opportunity to spend one semester studying at the UK campus.

Located in the heart of historic Oxford. We proudly uphold the 125-year-old legacy of Peking University as a beacon of learning.

Since its establishment in 2018, the PHBS UK campus has symbolized a groundbreaking venture in international education. The first Chinese university to independently establish a campus in a developed country, we facilitate a unique blend of Chinese academia and global educational experiences that enrich students from all corners of the world.

The PHBS UK campus is more than an academic institution; it's a vibrant hub where diverse cultures and ideas converge, fostering essential global dialogues among all Peking University’s academic programs and developing future leaders with an expansive worldview.

Central to our mission is the integration of comprehensive business insights that reinforces our dedication to a new epoch of educational distinction and cultural interconnectivity. Our students, from China and around the globe, are mentored by our renowned faculty to excel in business knowledge, entrepreneurial research, and cross-cultural exchange.

With an unwavering dedication to excellence, we extend an invitation to join this exciting journey.
