      本项目招生采用北大提名推荐、昆山杜克择优录取的方式，经过遴选的奖学金获得者将得到24万元人民币的全额学费奖学金，以及 7000美金的额外资助，用于其进行硕士课程规定的境外实地调研。

      Nominated by Peking University and selected by Duke Kunshan University, the recipient of the Duke Kunshan Chancellor’s Global Health Scholarship is entitled to a full scholarship that covers the tuition fee for Duke Kunshan’s 2-year Master of Science in Global Health (MSc-GH) program, and an additional $7000 grant for an overseas field research project.

    “‘昆山杜克全球健康校长奖学金’不仅象征着昆山杜克大学与北京大学医学部之间的友谊，还将进一步加强、扩大两校在学术研究以及培养人才方面的合作，”昆山杜克大学学术事务副校长高海燕说到。

    “The Duke Kunshan Chancellor’s Global Health Scholarship Program is not only a monument to the friendship between Duke Kunshan University and Peking University Health Science Center, but it will also help enhance and expand the two institutions’ collaboration in research, and education of the next generation of global health leaders,” said Haiyan Gao, vice chancellor for academic affairs at Duke Kunshan University.

       尽管设立不到两年时间，昆山杜克大学的全球健康硕士项目已成功吸引了来自北京大学等世界级名校的优秀学子。能够与一群学识过人、热心于全球健康事业的同学为伍，该项目的学生们不但能收获解决全球健康领域各种复杂问题所需要的专业知识和实践技能，还将与该领域未来的领军者建立起紧密的协作关系。此项奖学金的设立将进一步鼓励更多北大学生赴昆山杜克大学学习。

      Despite its short existence, the MSc-GH program at Duke Kunshan has already established a record of attracting top talents from prestigious universities including Peking University. Surrounded by the highly talented, passionate MSc-GH cohort, students will gain an extensive network of future leaders in global health, as well as the knowledge and expertise needed to address complex health concerns that influence a society’s well-being. The founding of this scholarship program will further strengthen Peking University students’ presence at Duke Kunshan University.

       对于那些想在全球健康领域有所建树的北京大学学生来说，“昆山杜克校长奖学金”将助其圆梦。在为期2年的学习中，奖学金获得者们将与来自中、美以及世界各地不同本科专业的学生，共同进行跨学科的学习和研究。除了高质量的教学，全球健康理学硕士项目的每一名学生都将与导师一起开展研究课题和实地调研项目，并至少有十周的时间在世界各地调研，例如中国、肯尼亚、秘鲁、斐济等；而昆山杜克大学充满活力的会议中心也将荟萃各界学术名流，定期举办各类学术会议和活动，为项目学生提供与业界领袖人物交流提供机会。

      For those Peking University graduates who are ready to make their mark in global health, the Chancellor’s Scholarship represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Scholarship winners will spend two years immersed in a diverse and dynamic community, consisting of faculty and students from various cultural backgrounds and multiple academic disciplines. In a learning environment that emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, hands-on research opportunities, and close mentoring from world-class faculty, they will work closely with professors to develop a ten-week field-based project and a master’s thesis. Apart from its innovative pedagogical techniques, Duke Kunshan University’s executive conference center also provides a space for renowned leaders in their fields from across China and around the globe to interact and learn through conferences, seminars and training sessions.
