China’s Success Can Be Yours!

 

The Rewards of a China Focused Degree

With a population of 1.37 billion, China has become the major growing market for most multinational corporations. However, there is an urgent lack of qualified cross-cultural professionals who really understand this complex nation and its business culture. China’s prominent role in the world’s economy and political scene offers great opportunities for young people who want to build successful careers doing business in or with China. Seize your chance now to become part of China’s growth and ongoing modernization!

 

 

An Attractive Program in China’s Bustling Capital

From a history of more than 100 years, Beijing Normal University stands as one of the top ranked universities in China. With its cutting-edge program “World Economy and China”, foreign students can not only gain in-depth knowledge about international economics and business practices, but also intensively study the Chinese language as part of the program. Beijing, China’s political and cultural heart, is not only an exciting city to explore and learn more about the country’s cultural traditions, it is also the best location to practice your Mandarin skills outside of the classroom, as the Beijing accent is used as the official standard pronunciation in the whole country. After your graduation, the city of Beijing offers excellent job opportunities with a dynamic local business environment and many subsidiaries of multinational corporations right at your doorstep.

Student comments

1.  Attending "The World Economy and China" Master’s program at Beijing Normal University has been one of the most rewarding, enjoyable, and interesting experiences in my life. The quality of teaching is excellent with a wide array of courses available in the broad category of economics. Outside of university, Student life in Beijing is fantastic. There is always something new and exciting to discover and try. The time spent at Beijing Normal University has been so enjoyable that I am planning to live and work in China after I graduate.

Moreover, it gave me insightful and interesting information about the Chinese business economy and the changes occurring in the world.
