"The MCS program is unique both in its broad scope and its approach to the China Studies field. Instead of being based on Euro-American academic models, the program constantly challenges students to engage with China on the local level. I'm grateful for the scholarship opportunities to do hands-on research and collaborate with scholars from around the world. I'm especially appreciative of the personal and professional relationships cultivated with the greater MCS community.

I am 24-year-old university student from Finland, majoring Automation and Systems Technology. I visited in ZJU for a student exchange program at Autumn semester 2016 and now my master studies are almost completed. I learned facts about China and of course improved my language skills. Moreover, my experience about living and studying in Chinese University will be valuable because my future work is closely related to Chinese companies.

During my two years studies on the MCS program, I had the unique opportunity to meet brilliant people with many different cultural backgrounds but one thing in common-the enthusiasm for China. While the inter-disciplinary curriculum is focused on providing an understanding of China's history, culture, economics and language, the MCS program supports you in exploring China first-hand and directly apply what you have learned.

I'm Harry from the UK and I applied to study the MCS program at Zhejiang University because after completing my bachelor's degree in Chinese Studies I wanted to continue my studies in China. The MCS program seemed like the perfect opportunity to gain a postgraduate qualification and improve my Chinese language in an academic environment which will both hopefully help me secure a job in China.
