This double degree programme is designed for students interested in the MSc International Social and Public Policy, but who also desire an even more internationalised experience by studying in two contrasting country contexts (UK and China) over two years.
In year 1, students pursue the MSc in International Social and Public Policy at LSE in London, followed by a Masters in Management in Public Policy at Fudan University in Shanghai. Upon successful completion of the 2-year programme, students are awarded two Master’s degrees – one from LSE and another from Fudan University.
The first year at LSE will introduce students to the key ideas, concepts, and theories for the study of international social and public policy.
The second year at Fudan is composed of core courses (with an emphasis on social policy and processes in China), basic courses (on Chinese government and governance and Chinese language), and electives courses (with an emphasis on social policy issues of particular import to China and the developing world generally).
Upper second class honours (2:1) degree or equivalent in a relevant social science.
Competition for places at the School is high. This means that even if you meet our minimum entry requirement, this does not guarantee you an offer of admission.

The School recognises that the cost of living in London may be higher than in your home town or country, and we provide generous scholarships each year to home and overseas students.
This programme is eligible for needs-based awards from LSE, including the Graduate Support Scheme, Master’s Awards, and Anniversary Scholarships.
For your year at Fudan:
Students may apply for Chinese Government Scholarships provided by the Central Government (China Scholarship Council) or by Shanghai Municipal Government.
