The Princeton of the East
Fudan University is Shanghai's leading comprehensive university — the best fit for business, economics, journalism and medicine students who want a top-5 Chinese institution inside China's commercial capital.
Why students pick it
Business & economics power
Fudan's School of Economics and School of Management are among China's most respected, with strong English-taught master's options.

Medical strength
Shanghai Medical College (formerly Shanghai Medical University) anchors Fudan's MOE-listed MBBS programme with top affiliated hospitals.
Liberal arts heritage
Journalism, international politics and Chinese studies programmes draw international cohorts every September.
Programmes international students take
- MBA / Finance (English-taught master's)

Fudan’s Handan Road campus sits in Yangpu district, a student quarter of Shanghai that also houses Tongji University. The name means “heavenly light spreads over the earth” — confident, like the university. For international students, Fudan balances academic prestige with the practical advantage of Shanghai: everything from part-time work (which requires university permission and, for off-campus roles, additional immigration approval — your student residence permit has conditions) to airport connections is easier here.
Who we place here: business and economics applicants, MBBS candidates targeting Shanghai Medical College, and CSC applicants who want a comprehensive university in a global city.
