Program Description

The School of Philosophy at Renmin University of China is one of the largest institutes for philosophical studies in China and the world, with an international reputation for academic excellence. The School has 80 full-time faculty members, roughly 400 graduate students, and 300 undergraduate students.

The School of Philosophy proudly offers a two-year M.A. program in Chinese Philosophy, Religion, and Culture (CPRC). All courses for this program (except Chinese language) are taught in English. It offers overseas students who are not proficient in Mandarin a valuable opportunity to study Chinese philosophy, religion, and culture whilst living in China. It also provides opportunities to study Chinese and experience intercultural communication with professors and classmates of diverse cultural backgrounds and experiences.

This program covers a wide range of topics on Chinese philosophy (mainly Confucianism and Daoism), religion (mainly Buddhism, sociology of religion, and folk religions), and culture (both ancient and contemporary). After fulfilling all course requirements, the students will conduct an independent study with a supervisor to write a master thesis. Upon completion, students will earn a Master’s Degree of Philosophy, recognized by the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China, which further helps with the pursuit of a Ph.D. or work in a related field.

In addition to academic studies, this program also conducts social activities for students to learn more about China. For example, the program provides opportunities to visit famous cultural cities, such as Qu’fu, Xi’an, as well as famous historical sites, such as the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, and Lama Temple.
