- Description/content
- The Master of Arts programme in Chinese Politics and Society is non-consecutive, addressing graduates with a BA degree in a social science discipline, such as political science, international relations, sociology, anthropology or equivalent. It offers them intensive training in the modern Chinese language starting from the level of absolute beginners (including a semester abroad). Content classes focus on contemporary Chinese politics and society (domestic politics and international relations, societal modernisation and political economy). Methodological training, emphasising social science research on China, is integrated in every semester. Students will take at least one module in general social sciences and may select more as electives.
