Programs
Overview
Curricular Structure
SPE presents a trifecta of key programs: Political Economy, Finance, and Leadership and Management. The Political Economy and Finance programs encompass a broad spectrum of academic pursuits, offering degrees from bachelor’s to master’s and doctoral levels. The Leadership and Management program, tailored for experienced professionals, provides master’s and doctoral degrees aimed at upgrading their expertise.
All programs are conducted exclusively in English, catering to both domestic and international students. This curriculum fosters a dynamic multicultural community and offers abundant networking for both faculty and students.
Pedagogical Features
SPE’s pedagogical approach features theoria (critical thinking), poiesis (creative application), and praxis (practical action). This tripartite framework is implemented through case studies, simulations, and fieldwork to adopt an interdisciplinary pedagogical model to seamlessly integrate theory with practice to enable our students to learn through real-world applications. This distinctive curriculum features connections with government agencies, think tanks, and the corporate sector while offering internships and overseas exchanges.
Global Partnerships
SPE has established an extensive network of partnerships with leading institutions across North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia. Key collaborations include a visiting scholar program with the UC Berkeley School of Law and joint research initiatives with the Robbins Collection Research Center (USA); student mobility and faculty exchange programs with Sciences Po Grenoble and academic collaboration with Sciences Po Paris (France); a student exchange program with Heidelberg University (Germany); an inbound dual degree program and a student internship agreement with the University of Melbourne (Australia); comprehensive faculty and student exchange programs with Kyushu University, a faculty, researcher, and staff exchange agreement with the University of Tokyo, and a student exchange partnership with Waseda University (Japan). Through these global partnerships, SPE actively advances international collaboration, strengthens academic exchanges, and fosters a dynamic, globally connected learning environment.
