Tsinghua University launched the Global Hybrid Classroom in the spring semester of 2021, enabling Tsinghua students and overseas university students to attend "the same class" to build a global localized classroom and seek mutual recognition of credits. As of the fall semester, more than 400 students from Saint Petersburg State University in Russia, Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, Politecnico di Milano in Italy, Universidad de Chile and other universities have joined Tsinghua classrooms, and over 60 Tsinghua students have attended courses provided by Nanyang Technological University, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Waseda University, Universidad de Chile, Saint Petersburg State University, and other universities.

The launch of the Global Open Courses aims to build a global environment, promote the multicultural exchange of Chinese and foreign students, spark discussion on common issues and challenges facing the world, foster the "togetherness" mindset, and promote "togetherness" education. In the future, Tsinghua University will continue to make more quality educational resources accessible to all through innovative and integrated teaching methods. As President QIU Yong once said, Tsinghua strives to "develop quality open courses available to the world, tell the stories of Tsinghua and China", and build itself as a more open, integrative and resilient university.
