Public Management and Social Development is a joint, two-year, 120 ECTS master’s run by CBS and the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences through the Sino-Danish Center. Although it carries a CBS link, the teaching takes place in Beijing, follows the Chinese academic calendar and leads to a double degree. The programme is in English and focuses on public management and social development in China and Europe, covering culture and society, politics and sociology, and innovation and entrepreneurship. The cohort is small, about 30 students, with close contact to Chinese and European lecturers. Students take one course at a time, each lasting three to four weeks and ending in an exam.
