This degree combines a study of the Chinese language (Mandarin and Classical Chinese) supported by modules exploring Chinese culture in its various manifestations across the entire span of China's pre-modern and modern history, with the study of key philosophical ideas from the Ancient World to the modern day. Both disciplines will foster a critical and reflective understanding of ideas, language and cultural assumptions. The degree aims at laying the foundations for further academic study or for a career involving regular contact with China. Being a small institution, our strengths are a personal approach to learning and intensive contacts between students and their lecturers. The course does not require prior experience in China or of the Chinese language.
