The Master of China Studies (MCS) is a MA-level degree program with a strong focus on China’s economic, cultural and societal context. Zhejiang University is China’s first higher institution that was granted the master’s degree in name of “China Studies” (Master of China Studies, MCS, in 2007). On 15th November 2018, the MCS was integrated into ZIBS for a new business track. The interdisciplinary curriculum allows students to work analytically and gain an in-depth understanding of China. The MCS has a team of more than 20 professors from various departments. Practical components of the program, such as workshops, field trips and internships, engage students in conducting independent research and integrating empirical knowledge into daily life and work.
