Teaching phases
Three-year English master’s study and research

Minimum 32 credits: Chinese/China Overview 8, basic theory≥6, professional foundation≥10, electives≥8. The course plan is completed within 20 days after enrolment and coursework normally within two years. English-route theses are written in English with a detailed Chinese abstract; defence may be in English. HSK level 3 certificate is required for the degree, separately from entry.
