The King's-Renmin University Graduate Programme in Asian & International Affairs
New students
For students seeking entry in 2026/27 to start their first year at Renmin, confirmation of this new programme is pending. Please check this webpage for updates.
Subject to approval, the King’s-Renmin University Graduate Programme in Asian & International Affairs will succeed the current Double MA in Asian and International Affairs. The main difference is that each university will award its own degree (in the case of King's this is the MA in European Studies) and there is no credit transfer between the institutions. Once the programme is confirmed, students should formally apply to Renmin but are strongly advised to check the admission requirements at King’s concerning language and grades if their intention is to come to King’s in the second year of the partnership. Students will then apply to King's during their year at Renmin using the King's Apply portal. Students will need to flag at the top of their personal statement that their are part of the King’s-Renmin University Graduate Programme in Asian & International Affairs.
Students who started their first year of studies at Renmin in 2025 remain on the Double MA in Asian and International Affairs. They do not need to apply through the application portal since their place at King's for 2026/2027 is already confirmed.
Please note, the Double MA programme is not recruiting new students and, pending approval, will be succeeded by the King’s-Renmin University Graduate Programme in Asian & International Affairs.
