| With great success in 2011, the Institute of International and Comparative
Education, Beijing Normal University continues to offer the International MA
program in Educational Leadership and Policy (Comparative Education) for
international students, in collaboration with the Institute of International
Education, Stockholm University. Applications for 2012 are now available! This program will enroll 25 international students for 2012 with generous financial support from the Chinese Government. 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 one year. This is a very good chance for students who are interested in Chinese culture or who cannot afford to pursue further education. We will continue with great effort to create more opportunities for students from all over the world to know China and we will also strive to provide high quality education and excellent service for international students. This program is a 2-year teaching and research program, 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 allows students to fully develop their academic capacities and provides students with qualifications, skills and competencies to apply for Ph.D. programs in comparative education at Beijing Normal University and elsewhere. The DEADLINE FOR CHINESE GOVERNMENT SCHOLARSHIP is Mar. 1st, 2012, and applicants' materials should arrive at Office of International Students and Scholars Affairs, Beijing Normal University before Mar. 1, 2012. No application will be considered after that date. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, admission decisions will be made as soon as the review process is complete. Therefore, the earlier applicants send their materials, the more possibilities they could get full scholarship. The brochure for the International MA Program in Comparative Education at Beijing Normal University is available for download. LINKS: CompEd in China , Beijing Normal University , Brochure |
