The School of Education Tsinghua University (THUSE) has a notable history of accomplishment in developing talent, scientific research, teaching, faculty development, and discipline building. As early as 1926 Tsinghua established the Department of Educational Psychology. In October 1979 the Office of Educational Research at Tsinghua University was established in response to China's reform and opening up. In November 1985 the Office of Educational Research became the Division of Educational Research at Tsinghua University. In March 2009, Institute of Education was established.

Established in 2025, THUSE built on the foundations of its precursors. Today, it comprises many divisions, centers and institutes, and hosts academic organization secretariats.

THUSE cultivates world-class education scholars and leaders grounded in national commitment, global vision, and innovation. We drive educational innovation globally, advancing equitable, high-quality, resilient, and sustainable future education systems with distinctive Tsinghua solutions.
