Students can choose to pursue either the Master of Finance or the master of International Business, specialized in Chinese Economy upon completion of their studies at Fudan University.

However, to complete the second year of study at Fudan University, students must have a minimum TOEFL iBT score of 90 or IELTS Level 6.5, and complete four credits of Chinese language during their exchange at Fudan University.
To successfully complete the program, students must earn 45 credits from both Chung-Ang University and Fudan University.

However, unlike in Korea, Chinese universities only admit new students in September, so Fudan University is only open for the fall semester. Students who are admitted to the spring semester of the Chung-Ang University Graduate School of Business and wish to pursue a dual degree at Fudan University must either take one semester off from studying at Chung-Ang University or complete three semesters at Chung-Ang University. However, if you complete three semester at Chung-Ang University and then two semesters at Fudan University, you will not be eleigible for the Chung-Ang University scholarship for the fifth semester.
