Program Description
The Department of Demography offers an interdisciplinary training
program leading to the MA and PhD in Demography. Demography is the
systematic study of human populations, a topic central to many pressing
policy issues such as the economic development of Third World countries,
population aging, the environment, health and mortality, family and
household change, immigration, and ethnicity. Demography also has strong
intellectual and institutional ties to other fields such as sociology,
economics, social history, anthropology, biology, public health, and
statistics.
This training strategy permits greater concentration
and depth in demography, as well as program flexibility and breadth in
related subjects. The program stresses both quantitative aspects of
demography and demography in the context of social science theory.
The master's degree in demography is designed both as
a final degree for those who wish to pursue a professional career at
that level of training, and as a second degree for students earning a
doctorate in demography or a related discipline. The basic coursework
for the master's program is required for the doctoral degree as well.

Answer:
When an application is pending a decision it means that your school has
received it and no admissions decision has been made yet. The
admissions office may have reviewed your application package or may not
have.
The main cause of a pending application is usually incomplete application documents. As a result
you will be requested by the school’s admission office to re-check and
modify all submitted application documents or perhaps even add extra
documents and then re-submit them.
To
avoid further delays, carefully read the university’s comments, modify
your application form on ACASC, and re-upload the required application
documents. You can contact ACASC on admission@acasc.cn for any help with regards to your pending application
Processing time varies for different applications. For example
to process a degree program application requires more time than a
Chinese language application. Confirmation for Chinese language
application by the admission office usually takes 2 to 4 weeks. However,
time for degree programs application differs. For example
fall semester application processing is after March, and it takes a
period of 1 to 2 months. This also depends on your qualification and the
number of applicants.
