I. Chinese Government Scholarship Preparatory Program:

In March 2019, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine (BUCM) was officially recognized by the China Scholarship Council under the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China as China's first "Pilot Institution for Chinese Government Scholarship Preparatory Education Programs (TCM)". This designation established BUCM as a leader in providing a comprehensive system for international students interested in pursuing studies in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) at the pre-university, undergraduate, master's, and doctoral levels. The preparatory education program at BUCM offers a comprehensive curriculum that includes general Chinese language instruction, specialized Chinese language teaching tailored to TCM and liberal arts majors, and student practical activities with TCM characteristics. The program serves as a professional TCM-themed Chinese language learning platform for international students, fosters an immersive TCM learning atmosphere, highlights the unique aspects of TCM, and helps the students develop a professional mindset in the field. It has successfully prepared a group of excellent pre-university students in the field of TCM for further studies at various undergraduate TCM institutions across China.

II. Self-funded Preparatory Program:

The self-funded preparatory program of BUCM innovatively integrates teaching practices with the learning needs of international students, pioneering the "Chinese Language + TCM" educational model. This approach emphasizes Chinese language acquisition as the primary focus, with TCM studies playing a complementary role. By introducing some TCM courses into the preparatory stage, the program enables international students to experience the TCM learning atmosphere in advance, fosters a professional mindset among students, and helps them overcome the language barriers in their TCM studies.

III. Clinical Training Program for National Medical Licensing Examination:

This program is a one-year clinical training course specifically designed for international undergraduate students graduating from BUCM who intend to sit for China's National Medical Licensing Examination.
