Recent graduates or members of the Class of 2025 at Bryn Mawr, Haverford, and Swarthmore Colleges are eligible to apply to be fully funded students in the China Studies Master’s Program at prestigious Zhejiang University (ZJU) in the beautiful city of Hangzhou, China. This is a two-year program, taught in English, for students in all majors who have an interest in understanding China. The student body is drawn from a small set of highly selective colleges and universities in different parts of the world. Through a special relationship, Tri-Co students are the only U.S. students who are eligible for the program.

ZJU provides students who are accepted into the program with funding that covers tuition and living expenses in China for the two years of their Master's study. Students do not have to be East Asian Languages and Cultures majors to do the program. Courses are taught in English (with students given the opportunity to study Chinese language as well). The courses cover a range of subjects leading to a deeper understanding of contemporary China. The program is designed to prepare graduates in a wide range of fields to engage with China in their professional lives. It can also serve as preparation for further graduate study at other institutions.

"The Master of China Studies is a MA-level degree program with a strong focus on China’s political, economic, historical, and societal context. Its interdisciplinary curriculum allows you to work analytical and gain an in-depth understanding of China. The MCS has a team of more than 30 professors from various departments and faculties to instruct and guide you through your studies and research. The practical components of the Program such as workshops and fieldtrips seek to engage you in the Chinese society to further prepare you for conducting research independently and integrate your empirical knowledge."

ZJU is always listed in the top five universities in China. Tri-Co graduates who participate in the program are taught by world class faculty and interact with a very interesting mix of other students. They also carry out internships with organizations or businesses in China. ZJU is located in the important (and beautiful) city of Hangzhou, a relatively short distance from Shanghai.
