Tips from successful applicants
- This is a leadership programme, not a research degree — a PhD-style research proposal reads as a misunderstanding of it.
- Applicants are asked why China specifically; a generic answer is the most common failure.
- No Mandarin is required to apply, but language study is part of the year.
