The Program

Since the fall of 2010, Fudan Law School has launched a English-instructed program - LL.M. in Chinese Business Law, specially for foreign lawyers, executives, students, and professionals engaging in international trade and/or interested in Chinese business and financial law.

Non-Chinese citizens, who have received a first college degree and have a good command of English, are eligible to apply for this program. LL.M. degree will be granted to the candidates who have successfully completed the required courses and a thesis.

Each LL.M. student must complete 30 credits during two-semester course study in the first year. Generally, the fall semester lasts from late August through December, and the spring semester from late February through June. After completing the course study, students could submit graduation thses and pass the oral defense in the end of the second academic year (usually May or June). It is also possible, upon special application and approval, to submit the thsis in the third or the fourth academic year. However, the maxium length to get the LL.M degree is 4 years after the first enrolment in the beginning of the first academic year. Students may complete the thesis at Fudan or at any other place as long as they will be present for the oral defense. Students who have successfully completed one or two semesters? course work but decide not to write the thesis will instead receive a certificate.

Each LL.M. student will be assigned an academic advisor for study and thesis writing. In addition, Fudan Law School will arrange regular academic and extra-curricular activities for both foreign students and Chinese students so that they may interact with each other.
