English-taught master's degrees in China: what exists by field

Engineering, business, public health, China studies and computer science are where English-medium master's provision is concentrated.

English-taught master's programmes are far more widely available in China than English-taught bachelor's degrees, because postgraduate teaching is smaller, more research-oriented and more likely to be delivered by internationally recruited staff.

  • Engineering and computer science: UM–SJTU Joint Institute, ZJU Haining campus, Beihang, BIT, NPU, HIT, SUSTech, UESTC
  • Business and management: CEIBS, Tsinghua SEM, PKU HSBC Business School, Antai (SJTU), Renmin, Fudan IMBA
  • Economics and finance: PKU National School of Development, Xiamen Wang Yanan Institute, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics
  • Public health and medicine research: PKU, Fudan, HUST Tongji, SYSU, Zhejiang
  • China studies and international relations: Yenching Academy (PKU), Schwarzman Scholars (Tsinghua), Renmin Silk Road School, Fudan, NJU, ECNU
  • Law: PKU School of Transnational Law, Renmin, Fudan, SJTU

Most of these programmes take two years, require IELTS 6.5 or TOEFL 90 for applicants from non-English-speaking education systems, and are eligible for CSC or provincial scholarship funding. Confirm the campus, the language of examination and the composition of the cohort before accepting an offer.
