Fudan University

Located in one of the world’s largest finance hubs, Fudan University in Shanghai provides students with a rich learning atmosphere. 

Founded in 1905, Fudan University was the first institution of higher education founded by a Chinese person. Its main campus—one of four—is found northeast of the downtown core of Shanghai. Known for its spirit of patriotism, solidarity, service and sacrifice, the school has a time-honored tradition of academic independence and free exploration. In 1985, the School of Management at Fudan University (FDSM) was reestablished to deliver excellence in teaching and research competencies.
