In collaboration with the Institute of International Education, Stockholm University, the International and Comparative Education Research Institute, Beijing Normal University will launch an International MA program in Comparative Education in September of 2011.
With generous financial support from the Chinese Government, this program will enroll 25 international students. Around the top 40% of the international students will be awarded a full Chinese Government Scholarship based on candidates’ academic excellence covering their tuition fees and living expenses for two years. Other students will also have the opportunity to get Beijing Government Scholarships which will cover tuition for at least 1 year.
This program is modeled on the core-course system of the Institute of International Education, Stockholm University, which has been proved to be effective for over 30 years. It aims to train talented individuals with highly developed skills in international and comparative education, planning and management, and abilities in working in international and bilateral organizations, governmental authorities, NGOs and related areas.
All courses will be taught in English. Based on the rich international resources of Beijing Normal University and Stockholm University, the program will have a strong team of professors from leading education institutes and universities worldwide, and it will enroll students from different countries. We are sure this program will provide students with a chance to learn and live in a real international and multicultural environment.
This program is a 2 year teaching and research program; students are required to complete a number of courses and a MA thesis based on independent research. It allows students to fully develop their academic capacities. It will provide students with qualifications, skills and competencies to apply for Ph.D. programs in comparative education at Beijing Normal University and elsewhere.
