Overview
Tsinghua’s undergraduate Computer Science admission is mainly holistic for international applicants: the university evaluates academic performance, language ability, supporting materials, and the comprehensive assessment. The department also notes that mainland applicants enter mainly through the National College Entrance Examination, with exceptional competition winners sometimes admitted through a waiver route.
