Spring has arrived at Tsinghua SIGS. 🌸

On March 21, we join the global community to celebrate the 2026 International Day of Forests. This year's theme, Forests and Economies, invites us to consider how nature can offer solutions for a more sustainable world.

On our urban campus, we're reminded of this every day through the green spaces and waterways we're fortunate to have, and the biodiversity they sustain.

Where science meets culture. Meet Moroccan student Ikrame Belfaquir.

Ikrame relocated from Morocco to Shenzhen to pursue a master’s in biomedical engineering at Tsinghua SIGS. Through hands-on learning in laboratories, hospitals, and research environments, she explores how biomedical engineering connects scientific discovery with real patient care.

Living and studying in Shenzhen has also become a journey of cultural exchange, from sharing Moroccan traditions on campus to learning Chinese and engaging with a global student community.
