Peking University was established as the Imperial University of Peking in 1898 when it received its first royal charter by the Guangxu Emperor.

Perennially ranked as one of the top academic institutions in China and the world, as of 2021 Peking University is ranked 16th globally and 1st in the Asia-Pacific & emerging countries by Times Higher Education.
