The curriculum covers topics such as company formation, corporate finance, corporate governance, shareholders' rights, stock issuance and initial public offerings (IPOs), mergers and acquisitions, and the regulation of capital markets in China. The teaching methodology is learning-centric, aimed at equipping students with the essential knowledge, skills, and competencies to understand and apply company law in practical contexts.
