MSc China in Comparative Perspective
Full-year programme. Students must take one compulsory course, select optional courses to the value of two units, and write a dissertation, as shown below. Attendance at tutorials and the seminar is compulsory.
Students intending to use this degree to convert to a discipline in which they hope to qualify to do a research degree, should choose all their options (papers 2 and 3) in that discipline. At least one option should be a general introduction to that discipline (e.g. paper 2 courses) and others can be found on the departmental website the student is interested in.
Otherwise students select courses from paper 3 (these courses expect students from this MSc) or they can choose other options not listed below. In either case, the student must email the teacher responsible for the course, backing up their request to join it.
