MACC is designed as an interdisciplinary programme, with a faculty of China specialists drawn from various disciplines in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, as well as the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies.

The three core courses ensure that students develop a holistic and well-grounded knowledge of fundamental aspects of Chinese society. By choosing electives from three clusters of specialized courses in Economy and Business, Politics and International Relations, and Society and Culture, students can gain a deeper understanding of particular areas according to their intellectual and professional interests.
