About the Double Degree

Fudan University and LSE are pleased to offer this joint programme in Global Political Economy of China and Europe. The programme will provide students with a multi-disciplinary analysis of key political and economic processes and problems in Europe and in China, considering them within a global context.

Your first year is spent in the European Institute at LSE, where you will study Political Economy of Europe (LSE and Fudan); your second year will be at Fudan University in Shanghai, where you will study Master of Management Science in Public Policy. This select programme is delivered by world-leading experts in the fields of political economy and public policy.

The programme is conducted entirely in English, though students will be expected to gain knowledge in Chinese at Fudan University.

In the first year at the LSE the curriculum comprises core courses on the foundations of political economy and specialist courses on a wide range of relevant themes. The latter include monetary integration, welfare states, labour markets, finance, inequality, varieties of capitalism, migration, European policymaking and governance, and global trade governance. A further distinctive feature of the programme is its Policy Incubator which replaces the traditional dissertation. The European Institute also offers a vibrant programme of events, including guest lectures by leaders from business, politics and European civil society.
