The double degree programme LSE in Global Political Economy of China and Europe from Fudan University and 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 will spend your first year studying Political Economy of Europe 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 program 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.

LSE is internationally recognised for its teaching and research, and therefore employs a rich variety of academic staff with a range of experience and status.

All taught courses are required to include formative coursework, which is unassessed. It is designed to help prepare you for your summative assessments, which count towards the course mark, and to the degree award. LSE uses a range of formative and summative assessments, such as essays, problem sets, case studies, reports, quizzes, exams, online assessments, and many others. Summative assessment may be conducted during the course or by final examination at the end of the course.

Careers

Graduates of the programme can expect to pursue successful careers in politics, business, diplomacy, consultancy and journalism, and in international organisations and financial institutions.
