Master’s in Political Science (Political Theory)

The School of Politics and International Relations of East China Normal University accepts applications from prospective students interested in pursuing a 2-year research-oriented Master studies. The program is based on ECNU’s Zhongbei campus in Shanghai. The program focus is Chinese politics, and draws from the School’s expertise in the areas of political philosophy, political history, political theory and systems, political communication and public relations, political education and participation, international relations, and research methods.

All courses will be taught in English, and Master’s students in the program will be required to successfully defend a thesis written in English. The School boasts a robust and diverse faculty, many of whom have trained abroad or earned their doctorates or completed substantial post-doctoral or visiting scholar positions abroad. All are regular faculty at ECNU and will therefore be available to form strong mentor-ships as they teach, advise, direct student research, and help graduates embark on post-graduate opportunities.
