This programme provides a balanced training in advanced economic theories and applied economic analyses. Students will study China’s economic institutions and development from an international perspective. We endeavour to ensure that our graduates are able to analyze economic issues relevant to their work and develop strategies to cope with the drastic changes in the world economy. This is helpful for our graduates to make right decisions for business enterprises and public organizations. Equipped with sophisticated techniques, graduates from this programme can be competent applied economists in large companies, too.
