About This Opportunity
The Tsinghua University Amgen Scholars Program 2026 offers an exceptional opportunity for undergraduate students interested in science, biotechnology, and drug discovery to gain hands-on research experience through an intensive 8-week residential summer internship in China. Designed for students aspiring to pursue careers in scientific research, this prestigious program allows selected scholars to work in real laboratory environments under the guidance of experienced Tsinghua University faculty mentors while receiving daily training and support from graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and lab technicians. Participants engage in cutting-edge research projects, attend weekly lab meetings, group discussions, presentation skills workshops, and campus-wide academic lectures, gaining valuable exposure to advanced scientific methods and collaborative research culture.
