Housing services
Libraries, cafeterias, sports teams, dorms: The China-EU School of Law (CESL) offers the essential activities traditionally associated with university life, but our location on the doorstep of central Beijing also provides further opportunities to explore the political, legal and cultural heart of China. CESL strives to design all facilities on campus, study trips and activities to help students connect with classmates, faculty, legal practitioners and the city outside their door.
Library services
The CUPL library is available to all CESL students and scholars. There is a special CESL reading room with an extensive collection of books and journals.
The CUPL Library was the first to focus entirely on collecting legal and political materials in China and ranks among the top in the country in terms of both the size of the collection and the speed of acquisitions.
Campus life

“None of the lists fully reflect my situation
I really liked the international and multicultural environment of the university. Studying with people from different countries helped me develop a global mindset and better understand different perspectives, which is especially important in International Relations. The classes were taught in English and focused on real-world global issues, which made the learning experience practical and relevant. I also appreciated the supportive atmosphere and the opportunity to improve my communication and academic skills.
I hope lrarn in one of foreign universities.
