Introduction
Master of Social Sciences (China and Global Governance) – MCGG programme, previously known as Master of Arts in Contemporary China (MACC), was renamed in January 2019 to better reflect its evolving nature. This one-year programme is designed for mid-career professionals seeking an in-depth and holistic understanding of China today. It delivers an insightful study of the evolving social, economic and political development in China, and its impact on the region and the world.
