Dutch Studies Centre

The Dutch Studies Centre (DSC) is based on the cooperation between Fudan University in Shanghai, China, and Groningen University in the Netherlands. The DSC functions as an education, research and information institute. The DSC organizes classes at Fudan University covering the Dutch and European political system, social and economic policies, historical and cultural developments, and other related topics. Also, the DSC aims to conduct research in the areas of Dutch and European politics, economics, law, history, language and culture, and to publish research papers and textbooks. Finally, with an increasing number of Chinese students coming to the Netherlands to study in Dutch higher education institutions, the DSC serves as an information channel for these visiting students. It prepares Chinese students by providing relevant information on student life and Dutch society before departure to the Netherlands. As such, the DSC cultivates experts and talents in the field of Dutch studies, and enhances the mutual understanding and exchange between China and the Netherlands.
