Master of Arts in Chinese Language and Culture

Fudan University is a major public research university in Shanghai, China. It is widely considered one of the most prestigious and selective universities in China.  Founded in 1905, shortly before the end of China's imperial Qing dynasty, Fudan was the first university established independently by the Chinese people. 

Fudan is a member of the elite C9 League and a Chinese Ministry of Education Class A Double First Class University.

Fudan is renowned for its liberal atmosphere and rigorous academics. It is an important academic centre for Chinese humanities, natural sciences, and medical studies. 

For the past hundred years, Fudan has made significant contributions to the country's development, the rejuvenation of the nation, the well-being of the society, and the advance of national education, science, medicine, and technology. Fudan has cultivated a number of outstanding talents and many prominent figures for modern China. 

The university takes a liberal arts approach to education, with an ethos based on the belief that academic study is most effective when combined with the individual development of character, understanding different cultures, and teaching independent research methods. To meet these ends, Fudan adopts an innovative teaching approach combining ideology and culture in lectures and conferences – many of which are broadcast publicly on the internet.

A strong emphasis is also placed on practical training. The university has several initiatives to assist students with their own projects, including the university’s undergraduate academic research financial aid platform, which assists 500 students each year with funding their own independent academic research. Fudan's Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (FDUROP) also gives students the facilities to showcase their ideas.

Outside the classroom, there are over 300 clubs and organisations for students to get involved in. With more than 2,000 club events taking place each month at Fudan, it is little wonder that students regularly refer to the ‘hundred club battle’ when planning their extra-curricular activities.
