The School of Pharmaceutical Sciences implements the “application - review” system in the enrollment of doctoral students. Candidates who meet the registration conditions set forth in the Prospectus for Postgraduate Enrollment of Tsinghua University and the applicable implementing rules shall submit relevant materials, and the name list will be determined according to the results of evaluation on the application materials. After the comprehensive assessment, outstanding candidates will be recommended for admission. The same method applies to the plan to strengthen the armed forces, the backbone program for ethnic minorities, the pairing assistance program and other related programs.

The types of doctoral students in the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences are as follows: fresh undergraduates recommended without examination to study for doctoral degree, and doctoral students through open enrollment. In addition to the enrollment organized by the school itself, the life science related research directions of the school will also conduct joint enrollment with the School of Life Science, the Department of Basic Medicine of the School of Medicine, and the Center for Life Sciences of Tsinghua University. The joint enrollment will be conducted in each July and September, as well as March and April of the next year respectively, and the enrollment assessment method will be the same.

In September, the school will enroll doctoral students, and also accept fresh undergraduates recommended without examination to study for doctoral degree, and doctoral students through open enrollment. If the annual plan of doctoral enrollment has been completed in September, no enrollment of doctoral students through open enrollment will be conducted in March of the next year; if the plan is not completed, the school will continue to enroll doctoral students through open enrollment in March. The enrollment assessment method will be the same in September and March. Enrollment for special programs such as the plan to strengthen the armed forces, the backbone program for ethnic minorities, the pairing assistance program and other related programs will take place in September only.
