About the course

This multidisciplinary degree develops advanced knowledge of Chinese language and culture. Students study a core language module each year, with options for beginners or those with prior qualifications like A-level Chinese. They can select modules from fields such as Anthropology, Education, Government, Economics, and Theology, alongside additional languages like Japanese or Korean. 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.
