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 of the research project in the scope of 3-5 DIN A4 pages (including
bibliography)
