About the Program

This master program has been developed for students holding a B.A. degree in Economics, Business Administration or equivalent qualification who want to specialize in China business and economics. Next to classes that offer in-depth analyses of China's economy and approaches to doing business with China, students will learn the Chinese language and take classes in Chinese Studies. In addition, senior language classes will empower students to understand and discuss economic texts in Chinese language. Methodological classes prepare students to use their economic and Chinese study knowledge for academic research as well as for solving business problems. Students who are fluent in Chinese language on a very high level or who are mother tongue speakers will need to take Japanese classes and additional academic classes instead of Chinese language classes. The program includes a mandatory third semester at Peking University, supported by the European Chinese Language and Culture Programme (ECLC). The curriculum covers major economic developments and policies, business and finance, different aspects of China's international economic and business relations as well as specific topics such as China's national innovation system.
