About the School

Westlake University is a new type of high-quality research-oriented university based in the historic Chinese city of Hangzhou - a stunning city well-known throughout Asia for its long history, rich culture, fine arts, and beautiful scenery. Our university was founded by prominent, globally respected scientists and scholars. We are quickly becoming a leading university for science, engineering, and innovation. At Westlake, we emphasize academic freedom, research excellence, interdisciplinary engagement, and international collaboration. We are committed to building a truly international, world-class, research-oriented university.

Classes at Westlake University are taught in English. We currently offer Ph.D. programs in Biology, Chemistry, and Electronic Science and Technology and a joint Ph.D. program in Physics with Fudan University. Our undergraduate programs in Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Physics, Electronic and Information Engineering, and Materials Science and Engineering offer the same resources and academic freedom as our graduate programs and allow students to work collaboratively in nation-leading laboratories alongside graduate students and world-class faculty advisors.

In addition, we believe in making higher education affordable for every Westlake University student. We offer a variety of scholarships, grants, and on-campus employment opportunities to all graduate and undergraduate students.
