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.
