East China University of Political Science and Law
East China University of Political Science and Law
East China University of Political Science and Law (ECUPL) is one of China's "Big Five" law universities, based in Shanghai. It's not part of Project 211 or 985, but its reputation for legal education puts it consistently among the country's top specialized universities.
Chinese universities tighten portfolio and motivation-letter requirements every year — we track this university by university, so every application matches what the admissions committee actually expects right now.
The university covers the full range of law — international, civil, criminal, intellectual property — and trains a substantial share of Shanghai's judges, prosecutors and top law-firm lawyers. Its Songjiang campus occupies the former site of St. John's University and is considered one of China's most beautiful, with well-preserved early-20th-century architecture.
Being based in Shanghai, China's financial capital, gives ECUPL graduates a direct route into internationally minded legal and corporate careers. The university admits international students to language programs, bachelor's and master's degrees, and offers grants.
