MSc LSE-Fudan Double MSc International Social and Public Policy

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc 12 months full-time, 24 months part-time

Course Description

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).

Entry Requirements
