• Undergraduate education at Tsinghua https://www.tsinghua.edu.cn/jyjx/bksjy.htm

  Official page describing undergraduate education as based on general education integrated with disciplinary education.

  The model combines a primary major, minor options and distribution requirements.

• Undergraduate overview https://www.tsinghua.edu.cn/en/Admissions/Undergraduate/Overview.htm

  Official English page links undergraduate education to general and disciplinary education and states that Tsinghua offers many undergraduate majors and minor degree majors.

  It records the broad major and minor architecture but does not describe the eight year exceptional tracks.

• Tsinghua University undergraduate curriculum https://www.tsinghua.edu.cn/en/Admissions/Undergraduate/Curriculum.htm

  Official page describes the academic year, the combination of general education with disciplinary specialization, and course-quality reform.

  It shows the overall curriculum architecture and elective elements inside programs.

• Undergraduate programs for international students https://www.tsinghua.edu.cn/en/Admissions/International_Students1/Undergraduate_Programs.htm

  Official page describes admission by broad divisions, a common first-year curriculum in most divisions, and finalization of the specific major by the end of the first academic year.

  This admissions set lists a standard 4 year duration and 5 year exceptions for Architecture and Sculpture.

• Undergraduate degree programs 2024-2025 https://www.tsinghua.edu.cn/en/info/1050/9915.htm

  The official list sets the duration range for Tsinghua undergraduate programs: usually 4 years, 5 years for Architecture and Sculpture, and 8 years only for Clinical Medicine and the Yau Mathematical Sciences Leaders Program.

  The 8 year upper bound is not a normal bachelor's duration; it enters the catalog field because those two long integrated tracks are included in the official undergraduate program list.

• Outstanding Physician Scientist https://www.med.tsinghua.edu.cn/en/Education_Admission/Programs/Outstanding_Physician_Scientist.htm

  The Tsinghua Medicine page explains the medical 8 year exception: the clinical medicine program has foundation, research and clinical stages, and successful completion leads to the Doctor of Medicine degree.

  For the duration field, this means the 8 year maximum reflects a long professional medical track rather than an extended ordinary bachelor's program.

• Yau Mathematical Sciences Leaders Program curriculum plan https://qzc.tsinghua.edu.cn/syjx/pyfa/a2021.htm

  The Qiuzhen College curriculum page lists the Yau Mathematical Sciences Leaders Program as an 8 year integrated Mathematics and Applied Mathematics plan from undergraduate study through doctoral training.

  This is the second exceptional track behind the 8 year upper bound, while ordinary Tsinghua bachelor's programs remain four years.

• 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.

  It shows the scale of the major and 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.

  It describes distribution requirements in course choice; the training plan does not show an open inter-university course-choice model.

• Tsinghua University Facts and Figures https://www.tsinghua.edu.cn/en/About/Facts_and_Figures.htm

  The official Facts and Figures page reports 63,132 registered students, including 16,526 undergraduates, 21,752 post-graduates and 24,854 doctor candidates. The data are reported as of 31 December 2025.

  The catalog field stores the undergraduate figure. The specialist degree level does not apply to Tsinghua's Chinese model, so specialist enrollment is stored as 0.
