Our Chinese and International Communication BA develops your knowledge of the Chinese language and culture, and develops your communication skills for the professional global environment.Our course helps you to achieve a good or high level of linguistic proficiency in Chinese in reading, writing, listening and speaking. It also gives you insight into and practice in communicating internationally as well as mediating between English and Chinese speakers.The curriculum integrates applied language skills and cultural studies, while ensuring a rigorous development of your foreign language competence in all areas. We teach in an integrated interdisciplinary way, exploring the connections between language and culture and the broader historical and cross-cultural contexts in which they are produced. You'll improve your ability as an intercultural communicator by studying how our ideas are shaped and communicated in a global society, where our interactions are no longer confined by national, regional or cultural boundaries.Studying the Chinese and International Communication BA, you'll acquire qualities and skills in areas such as interpersonal communication and organisational skills, analysis and argument, autonomy and team working, and team management. You’ll also build your flexibility, tolerance and organisational skills to enable you to be an effective international communicator. On graduation, you'll be able to thrive linguistically in diverse cultural situations.Between Years 2 and 3, you’ll have the option to spend a full academic year abroad at one of our partner institutions. This will give you a valuable opportunity to boost your employability while improving your language competence.Our Chinese courses are only available to beginner or intermediate entrants – intermediate entrants are students who have obtained or might be studying for an A level in Chinese, or who might have achieved the equivalent of HSK Chinese Proficiency Test Level 3. Please note that we may need to test you to decide your entry point.
