Overview

Fudan University, located in Shanghai, China, is a prestigious comprehensive and research-oriented national key university. As one of the first universities under the '985 Project', '211 Project', and national 'Double First-Class' Category A initiative, Fudan is a core member of the C9 League and the Association of Pacific Rim Universities.

Its history dates back to the founding of Fudan Public School in 1905, and in 2000 it merged with the former Shanghai Medical University, creating a powerful combination of arts, sciences, medicine, and engineering. The university now has four campuses (Handan, Fenglin, Zhangjiang, Jiangwan), 40 schools and departments, 18 affiliated hospitals, and 8 affiliated schools.

Economics and management are also strong, with the School of Economics and School of Management both holding AACSB and EQUIS accreditations.
