Chinese Studies (Intermediate) Major
China is one of the world's great civilisations, alongside the European and Middle Eastern traditions. The Chinese Studies major provides you with a solid understanding of Chinese society and culture, the foundational language skills essential to function with confidence in the Chinese-speaking world, a basic ability to work in China-related professions and the competence to conduct research in Chinese studies.

The modern Chinese language major caters for a wide range of language abilities, from complete beginners to those with background in both standard and non-standard forms of Chinese vernacular. It focuses on developing effective communicative skills at the beginner and intermediate levels, including Chinese for professional purposes. At the advanced levels, we teach research and academic writing skills in the Chinese language. The teaching of classical Chinese is integrated with the study of the literature and thought of pre-modern China.
