The China Business and Economics Master of Science programme accepts graduates in Chinese studies who are especially interested in the Chinese economy. It builds on their knowledge of China by offering classes in Chinese studies (MA level) and advanced courses in the Chinese language. Students attend a selection of courses at both the Bachelor's and Master's levels at the Department of Economics of the University of Würzburg. They will quickly gain a sound understanding of economics and business administration and specialise in a field of their interest. Lectures and seminars on Chinese economics cover a range of topics, such as "Finance and Banking", "China in the Global Economy", "Consumerism and Marketing", or "Challenges of Sustainable Development". Methodological questions of economic research on China are dealt with in special seminars and in case study seminars. In their Master's theses, students apply their knowledge of languages, research methods, and Chinese economics.
The programme is organised into four semesters. Students earn 120 ECTS credit points. Students write their Master's theses during the fourth semester.
