The
“Beijing Autumn Semester Program in Comparative Business Law”
held at the Central University of Finance and Economics, Beijing
(CUFE) is seeking Polish and Ukrainian law students to join
their innovative program for August-December 2010. The CUFE program offers students a unique opportunity to
study subjects of Chinese and comparative law alongside students
from different parts of the world, convening to join Chinese
students in a diverse, multicultural classroom setting.
The program’s design allows students to gain sufficient
foundational knowledge of the Chinese legal system in one
well-structured semester, providing the necessary core training
for students/lawyers to work competently on specific subjects of
Chinese business law in the future.
In addition, the program offers interactive learning
opportunities with internationally mixed teams engaging in a
moot court competition relating to issues surrounding the Vienna
Convention on the International Sale of Goods, and Chinese and
non-Chinese students working collaboratively
on research projects of Chinese and comparative law. All
law courses are in English.
Students may also study Basic Mandarin Chinese language
