Renmin University of China in Being is happy to call for application to their two-year MA program in Chinese Philosophy, Religion and Culture (CPRC) at the School of Philosophy. All courses in the CPRC program are taught in English. It offers students an excellent opportunity to study Chinese philosophy and religion while living in China. Currently there are still scholarships available for students. The application period runs from November 15th, 2023 to April 30th, 2024. Interested students can contact Prof. Jifen Li or Prof. Dennis Schiling. Please read below for more information about the program.
This intensive program covers a wide range of topics in Chinese philosophy (Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism), Chinese aesthetics, comparative philosophy, Chinese religion (including sociology of religion and folk religions), and culture-related topics (both ancient and modern).
After completing all course requirements, students conduct an independent study with a supervisor to write a master’s thesis. Upon graduation, students will receive a Master of Philosophy degree, which is recognized by the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China and allows them to pursue a Ph.D. or work in a related field.
Has anyone come across something of a similar nature except with an emphasis on Chinese history, that is an MA program in Chinese history in China for someone just learning the language? Please don’t hesitate to let me know, here, or at larry.israel@mga.edu
