The official regulation describes the 2+X model as a credit-based system combining broad-category admission, general education, professional training, and multiple development pathways.
Model elements: professional advancement, cross-disciplinary, innovation and entrepreneurship, and minor bachelor's degree pathways; in some paths, remaining credits may be filled with other undergraduate courses as unrestricted electives.
Model elements: programChoice = 3 and courseChoice = 3, but not program-choice level 4 by itself because double bachelor appears as a separate project-based mechanism.
The 2024 plan lists seven cross-school experimental classes and describes major streaming after the first semester: by major, by school with later free choice inside the school, or with no quota restriction in selected classes.
Model element: regular but bounded post-entry major choice; students submit up to six preferences, while placement considers minimum course requirements, academic performance, interviews, and remaining quotas.
The regulation defines the minor bachelor's degree as part of the 2+X system for full-time undergraduates who keep a primary major and seek systematic cross-disciplinary training.
The minor bachelor's curriculum includes foundational, core, and advanced courses in another professional field for at least 40 credits; courses are taught together with students in that primary major, and completion is annotated on the degree record.
Flexibility level: programChoice = 3 as a primary major plus structured secondary specialization model.
The regulation describes double bachelor's degree projects as full-time undergraduate programs combining two primary majors from different fields, with an integrated curriculum and degree documents naming both degrees.
For the matrix this is an upper-bound signal, but it does not raise the coordinate to programChoice = 4: the projects are separately approved and recruit students through Gaokao, so they are not a free post-entry double-major option for most students.
The guide describes the undergraduate structure as general education, arts/science foundation, and professional education; in the general-education core students choose one course from each module, general-education electives must be outside the student's own department, and some programs include unrestricted elective credits for courses of any type.
Model elements: courseChoice = 3: alongside distribution requirements there is broad cross-departmental and partly unrestricted course choice, while the curriculum remains framed by program requirements.
The official page explains Fudan's liberal arts/general education model: the general-education core is organized by broad areas, students must earn elective credits, and the core contains around 180 courses.
Model elements: the distribution-requirement component of courseChoice and shows that course choice is embedded in the undergraduate model rather than limited to intra-major alternatives.
The UIPE curriculum lists a four-year program length, 24 general-education credits, a professional core, and at least 36 credits in multi-development paths.
Within these paths students choose professional advancement, cross-disciplinary course packages, an academic minor program, innovation/entrepreneurship, or a partner double degree; this is a concrete program-level implementation of the 2+X model.
The official MBBS page states a six-year undergraduate medical program and award of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery after credit requirements are completed.
Duration range: the four-year UIPE programme and six-year MBBS set the 4-6 year bachelorSpecialistProgramDuration range.
The official university profile, updated as of May 2026, reports 16,101 regular undergraduate students, alongside separate figures for graduate students and degree-seeking international students.
For the comparable catalog field, the regular undergraduate figure is stored as bachelor enrollment. The specialist degree level does not apply to the Chinese model, so specialist enrollment is stored as 0.
