Documents to submit
1. ALL students (B.A. and M.A.)
     a. Short CV (tabular, max 1 DIN A4 page, with an indication of the current grade point
         average).
     b. Expression of the list of all previous course achievements from eCampus. Students of

2. B.A. Students
      e. Exposé for a study project that you would like to follow during your stay (maximum 3
      DIN A4 pages)
      Some guidelines to write the study project
      The exposé for a study project could be defined as a "study plan" too. The purpose is that
      the student explains the aim, priorities/objectives, and expected outcomes of the study
      stay. For instance, why wants to apply, what relevance the program has (current studies,
      future academic goals, and future career), outline learning objectives and assignment
      schedules (e.g. Fudan courses/program if possible), how the time in Fudan will be
      expended in a meaningful manner, etc. The student could emphasize these, or other,
      aspects that considers relevant to the selection committee to prove her/his application
      should be selected as a suitable candidate for the program.
      Nevertheless, there is no one-size-fits-all approach in terms of writing style or content for
      the exposé as it should demonstrate the student’s ability to present a structure, well
      organized and substantiated argument to select his/her application.
3. M.A. Students:
     e. Exposé to the research project in the scope of 3-5 DIN A4 pages (including
     bibliography)
