The VP of the Chinese university said at an online conference on Thursday that the four campuses of the Fudan University in Shanghai have 40 thousand students and more than 3,000 teachers.

He stated that the Hungarian state generously supports the project, and they talked about creating a Budapest campus for Fudan for the first time during the visit of Innovation and Technology Minister László Palkovics in Shanghai. However,

the epidemic baulked the project,

so Xi Jinping, the President of China, signed the relevant strategic agreement with the Hungarian government only at the beginning of this February.

According to the vice president, Fudan will be an independent and autonomous institution, and they registered it in Hungary to make it able to issue a Hungarian degree. The campus will be in the southern part of Budapest on the eastern bank of the Danube. Currently, they plan to create four faculties: Arts and Social Studies, Medicine, Public Administration, Natural Sciences and Technology.

According to the plans, 6,000 students will be able to study there. 1/3rd of them will be Hungarian, 1/3rd Chinese, while 1/3rd will be foreigners from other countries. There will be 5-600 teachers coming from everywhere because they want to be part of the global competition.
