China - Tradition and Future, M.A.
The core subject program (single-subject study + courses from the free elective area) "China - Tradition and Future" is a consecutive master's program lasting four semesters. It includes in-depth training in modern Mandarin Chinese, taking into account the current state of research in the field of digital media in China. Students also acquire basic skills in Classical Chinese, enabling them to understand both classical sources and sophisticated modern texts with classical elements. To better tailor the program to individual interests, three modules are available, allowing students to choose between the free elective area (Media Studies, Business Administration, Japanese Studies, Philosophy, etc.) and the supplementary area of Sinology.

The procedure and the set of documents depend on your certificate. We check the university's requirements against your documents and give you a list: what to submit, how to certify and translate it, where and when to apply.
Check the requirementsHow to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
If your level is not enough yet
The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
