Master of Chinese Society and Public Policy in English
PROGRAMME DESCRIPTION
About a fifth of all the people in the world live in China. At the same time as China has the
longest continuous culture surviving from ancient times, globalisation widely affects Chinese
culture and society. And as a country, China will have big influence in the politics and economics
of the twenty-first century. Chinese culture and society is undergoing dramatic changes in the era
of globalisation and transformation.
The two-year English-instructed master’s degree program in Chinese Society and Public Policy is
a full time program, with five different program options, that provides rigorous training in
sociology and social policy, covering a broad range of topics from sociology, anthropology, social
policy and demography. By choosing this program students will get the opportunity to take
courses taught by some of China’s leading sociologists and be part of an academic environment
that prides itself on being on the forefront of sociology & public policy research. The program
provides an excellent opportunity for students with little or no Chinese language skills to develop
a deep understanding of China in the modern world.
The program is taught at the prestigious School of Social Development and Public Policy (SSDPP)
of Fudan University. The School is one of the global strongholds in the teaching and research in
sociology and social development studies. The SSDPP has over 60 fulltime faculty members.
Majority of them received their PhD degrees from overseas universities such as Harvard
University, LSE, Princeton University, University of Chicago, Duke University, University of
Washington-Seattle, Chinese University Hong Kong and so on. Its international cooperation
extents to such partners as Harvard University, London School of Economics and Political
Science, Columbia University, UC Berkeley, University of Hong Kong, National University of
Singapore, University of Oslo, Lund University and many other. Ten percent of the School’s
students are international students, from the US, Canada, Japan, UK, Germany, France, the
Nordic countries, the Netherlands, etc.
