The third year involves full-time language study at a Chinese university, offering immersive cultural experience.In the final year, students complete a dissertation integrating their learning. Core modules focus on advancing language skills, while optional ones cover topics like Chinese cinema, history, and contemporary issues. Assessment includes oral, written, and listening exams for language modules, essays for others, and a year-abroad assignment, culminating in a 12,000-word dissertation.
