Description
Our BA Modern Chinese degree is jointly delivered between Beijing Normal University and Cardiff University. It is the only Chinese degree programme offering you dual certificates at the end of the four years.
At Cardiff University, Chinese Studies is pitched to give you both wide and in-depth linguistic knowledge, as well as a distinctive research and learning profile in the 21st century Chinese pillar economy - the cultural and creative economy (arts institutions, digital media, cultural policy, entrepreneur-artists and more).
Internship opportunities are embedded within the study with wide private and public arts sectors, in both the UK and China.
By the end of the four years, you will have developed solid research skills, established transnational networks and obtained near native Chinese linguistic skills. You will be well placed to pursue postgraduate studies with original research content or to enter the global job market with linguistic skills and network links between China, UK and beyond.
