LSE-Fudan Double Degree in the Global Political Economy of China and Europe

The double degree programme in Global Political Economy of China and Europe from LSE and Fudan University offers a multi-disciplinary analysis of key political and economic processes and issues in Europe and China within a global context.

As a student, you'll spend your first year studying Political Economy of Europe in the World at LSE in the European Institute, followed by the Master of Management Science in Public Policy at Fudan University in Shanghai in your second year.

The programme is taught in English, but students are expected to acquire some knowledge of Chinese. The curriculum in the first year includes core courses on the foundations of political economy and specialist courses on a wide range of topics, including welfare states and labour markets, finance, varieties of capitalism, migration, European policymaking and governance, and global trade. The programme's unique Policy Incubator replaces the traditional dissertation, and the European Institute also offers an exciting programme of events, including guest lectures by leaders from business, politics, and European civil society. With world-leading experts in political economy and public policy teaching this programme, you'll have an opportunity to gain unparalleled knowledge and insight.
