Introduction to Master of Charity and Social Organization Management
To seek the potentials and respond to the increasing demands of talents due to the recent growth and development of social, charitable and philanthropic organizations in China and Macau, our university set up this ‘charity and philanthropy management program in 2011; further renamed it as “Master of Charity and Social Organization Management” in 2020. The program takes two years to complete.
The program aims to prepare graduates for leadership and professional roles equipped with solid theoretical knowledge and practical experiences in charity and social organization management.
Students in this program need to complete the following courses (45 credits in total), including eight required courses (24 credits), three elective courses (9 credits), and the thesis (12 credits). Eight required courses provide both the theoretical and practical overview of charity, philanthropy and social organization management. Three elective courses focus on operationalizing knowledge gained through the program.
There are many career choices for the graduates, such as doing advanced research in charity, philanthropy, and social organization management, and participating in different kinds of charity and philanthropy institutions and social organizations (e.g., government departments, large-scale companies) to engage in management related work, and so on.
