The curriculum builds a solid foundation in major international relations theories, research methods, and China’s foreign policy approaches while encouraging students to apply theoretical insights to real‑world global issues.

Graduates are equipped for careers as policy analysts, diplomatic officers, researchers, or professionals in international organizations, governments, think tanks and global media. The faculty includes internationally experienced professors and scholars, and the program emphasizes multicultural exchange and global research networks to broaden students’ academic and professional horizons. Tuition is approximately CNY 25,000 per year for the master’s degree.
