Program overview
This program focuses on the fundamental theories of scientific socialism, the history and current state of the international communist movement, and the practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Core courses include Principles of Scientific Socialism, History of the International Communist Movement, Contemporary World Socialism, and Theory and Practice of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics. You will learn to analyze socialist models in different countries, understand the evolution of Marxism in the modern era, and how China integrates theory with its national conditions. It is suitable for students interested in political theory and social systems, who enjoy deep thinking and reading classic texts. Chinese universities have unique advantages in this field: many have Schools of Marxism or Institutes of Scientific Socialism, with rich literature resources and research traditions, and access to first-hand policy cases from China's reform and opening-up. If you are curious about 'why China has been able to follow this path,' this program will provide systematic answers.
