About the Double Degree

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.
