• Undergraduate majors, double degrees, and minors https://www.tsinghua.edu.cn/jyjx/bksjy/bkzy.htm

  Official 2026 page lists undergraduate majors, double bachelor's degree projects, and open minor-degree fields.

  Model elements: the scale of the major/minor model: double degrees are approved projects rather than an unrestricted double-major option for all students.

• 2024 student handbook: minor and double-degree rules https://www.zlc.tsinghua.edu.cn/__local/B/AA/5F/7B0DFEBD614E6CF50716EF549D8_642315DF_1D6357.pdf

  The handbook includes rules for undergraduate minor degrees: full-time students may take a minor while keeping the main major, and a typical minor requires about 30 credits.

  The same document shows that double bachelor's degrees are separate projects with approved curricula, so they do not move the placement above major + minor.

• University-level general education course system https://www.wyc.tsinghua.edu.cn/__local/9/A7/4A/7BC465308813C7EC46791CADA97_6C56DB79_97185.pdf

  The training plan shows a university-level general education block with required courses and general education electives, where students earn credits across several thematic groups.

  Model elements: distribution requirements in course choice; the training plan does not show an open inter-university course-choice model.
