Program overview
Higher Education Studies, simply put, is about understanding every aspect of the "small society" that is a university. You'll learn how universities are managed, how curricula are designed, how students develop, and how education policies are formulated. Core courses include Principles of Higher Education, Higher Education Management, Comparative Higher Education, University Curriculum and Teaching, and Educational Research Methods. This major is especially suitable for those who are passionate about education and enjoy thinking about "how to make universities better." In China, many top universities (such as Peking University, Tsinghua University, and Beijing Normal University) have strong research capabilities in higher education. Moreover, Chinese universities are undergoing numerous reforms, such as the "Double First-Class" initiative and internationalization, providing rich cases and opportunities for research. If you are interested in cross-cultural education and international student mobility, there are plenty of topics to explore here.
