The School of Psychology and Cognitive Sciences at Peking University (hereinafter referred to as the School of Psychology) is committed to leveraging the comprehensive disciplinary advantages of Peking University to build a world-class psychology department grounded in cutting-edge international research. The basic psychology discipline at Peking University is a key discipline of the Ministry of Education, a characteristic major in Beijing, and a first-level key discipline in Beijing. Since the start of the new century, the discipline has been approved as a national base for basic science research and teaching talents. It is the first psychology discipline in mainland China to enter the top 1% of the ESI world rankings and has consistently been rated as the highest grade in national university discipline evaluations by the Ministry of Education.
