Peking University Shenzhen Graduate School (PKU Shenzhen), primarily focused on full-time graduate education, is an integral part of PKU's progression toward becoming a world-class university. Its goal is to build a world-class international PKU campus in Shenzhen, a pioneer city leading China's Reform and Opening-Up Policy, while adhering to the academic principles of "New Frontiers, Interdisciplinary Studies, Applied Research and International Standards."

PKU Shenzhen is proud of having a highly qualified and diverse faculty body with 164 full-time professors, including two members of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, six members of the national "One Thousand Talents Plan", three Yangtze River Scholars, fifteen Peng Cheng Scholars, eight professors from Hong Kong, Macao, and/or Taiwan, and 60 international professors. In addition, the school counts about 64 postdoctoral research fellows.

PKU Shenzhen attracts the most outstanding students within China and abroad. In 2008, the university began to enroll students from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and in 2009 it welcomed its first international students. With the arrival of more international students, the PKU Shenzhen campus is becoming more diverse and globally conscious. By 2015, there were 2,899 full-time graduate students enrolled at PKU Shenzhen, including 236 doctorate degree students, 2,663 master's degree students and 105 full-time international students from all over the world.
