After studying on the MA in Chinese Studies (ICC stream) I gained a comprehensive understanding of different aspects of China, such as national strategy and regional development, as well as institutional development.

The Chinese Studies Programme at CUHK helped to enrich and further my understanding of China. The programme offered me flexibility to study Chinese political topics that most piqued my curiosity while providing some of the world’s best China scholars to help guide my way. Contentious political issues can be objectively and openly discussed in the intimate classroom settings the Centre provides. The programme challenged my previous way of thinking, allowing me to not only grow academically but also as a global-minded citizen.

WU Yueqian China | MA 2019
The study experience at CCS was very fulfilling and memorable for me. The Centre’s interdisciplinary courses touch on different areas, such as Chinese literature, film, art history, anthropology etc., generating sparks in my mind and broadening my horizon. Most importantly, the methods I learned in class are helpful, no matter in work or in further studies. I am so grateful to the teachers who are not only excellent scholars, but also very patient and kind to us. I felt myself making progress every day with their help and guidance. Chinese Studies taught me more about the world and about myself in the past year. I will always take my time at CCS as a great fortune!

SIRAIT Nova Marina Indonesia | MA 2017
After spending one year at CUHK, I think my decision to join the MA in Chinese Studies is the best decision I ever made! Hong Kong is geographically, historically and culturally linked to China, making it the best place to study any China-related topic in an open academic environment. This programme moreover offered several courses which went beyond my expectations. It is not limited to contemporary China's politics, economy and society, but also covered topics in China’s rich history and culture. Thanks to its experienced professors and lecturers, this programme helped me to boost my knowledge, especially about China's foreign and regional policy, which are very beneficial to support my future PhD studies and career as a lecturer in Indonesia.
