Program overview
The Ideological and Political Education major might sound a bit "political," but it's really more about studying "how to make people understand and identify with certain values." In simple terms, you'll learn political theory, moral philosophy, educational methods, and how to communicate ideas effectively across different cultural contexts. Core courses include Basic Principles of Marxism, Principles of Ideological and Political Education, Ethics, Political Science, Sociology, Psychology, and more. Chinese universities have a strong theoretical foundation in this field, especially in-depth interpretations of Marxist classics and case studies grounded in China's social realities. If you're interested in social justice, cultural identity, public policy, or understanding the underlying logic of how Chinese society operates, this major offers a unique perspective. It's ideal for students who enjoy thinking deeply, communicating well, and have a passion for the humanities and social sciences.
