Description
By exploring similarities and differences in
contemporary challenges to the welfare of citizens in China and Europe, you
will learn to manage and participate in social innovation at the interface
between the public and private sectors in China as well as Europe.
In order to understand the background of the current challenges like social mobility or changes in demography, students will be introduced to the emergence and development of Chinese and European societies, cultures, institutions and practices. Seeing the differences and similarities between the two regions will allow you a nuanced approach to meet the challenges.
The solution lies in social innovation that can improve current welfare models. You will investigate the strengths and weaknesses of different models, and find out how they work. And through the use of empirical analyses you will learn how future solutions can be created in cooperation between public and private sectors.

Career Opportunities
An alumni association for the programme will be created. It will be a
tightly-knit group of people concerned with the same issues and in
time it will become a strong alumni network which will be a career
advantage.
Graduates will have in-depth knowledge of China and the EU from both
an academic, a cultural and a personal point of view. They will be able
to identify problems in this cross-field and, using social science
methods combined with analysis and information retrieval tools, they
will be able to create innovative solutions.
In addition to this,
graduates will have hands-on experience with Chinese language and
culture, and with intercultural cooperation.
It is not yet possible to predict exactly where graduates will find
career paths. However, you will be qualified to work with project
management, strategic, operational and policy development in public
organisations, NGOs and private companies concerned with welfare
reforms, social development and national business system issues. The
global perspective of PMSD opens up a wide range of possibilities, and
the immersion in Chinese society enables you to assist the many
companies that currently flow into China.
About the degree
The MSocSc in Public Management and Social Development is a collaboration between CBS and the Chinese university GUCAS. You will therefore get a degree from both a Danish and a Chinese University.
The programme is taught in China with both
Chinese and European students and teachers, which means you will be
learning both inside and outside the classroom, and the line between
study and leisure time is blurred. The experience builds competencies
that you could never get from reading a book.
