Peking University has made reforms in its teaching. It has revised its teaching project in an all-round way with the aim to cultivate the students' practical ability and creative power. As a result, the teaching of basic courses is strengthened, the content of courses is enriched and renewed and favourable conditions have been created,for the students to develop themselves in extracurricular activities.
In order to apply the principle of teaching the students in accordance with their aptitude, the university has put into practice a credit system, which allows the students to select their own courses provided that they fulfil the requirements for their majors. This system encourages the students to select courses out of their respective majors or departments.
According to the system, students who have earned enough credits ahead of the required time are allowed to graduate earlier. Undergraduates of good character and scholarship can be recommended in their graduating year to continue their study for Master's degrees without taking qualifying examinations, The style of "Being diligent, rigorous, realistic and creative" in learning is energetically advocated on the campus.
