Congratulations to the students of the Double Degree in Asian & International Affairs who today successfully defended their thesis proposals. We are particularly proud of our 2020-2021 cohort, in these difficult times they are not only attending all the courses online but they also produced impressive research.

Co-established by the School of International Studies’ Contemporary China Studies Program at Renmin University of China (RUC), and the Department of European and International Studies at King’s College London (KCL), this Double degree program is a two-year program, in which students spend:

  • the first year studying Asian affairs at Renmin University in Beijing
  • the second year studying International Affairs at King’s College London

After completing all requirements in both universities, the students are awarded two master degrees by two of the world’s most prestigious universities in their respective fields.
