Our PhD in Chinese Studies programme will enable you to undertake a significant piece of research that aligns with our interests in a wide range of areas. Our research encompasses early modern, modern, and contemporary cultures in China and Taiwan. This includes literary, cultural, social, and political history of China; anthropological approaches to minority cultures within and bordering China; and Chinese Buddhism in the modern era. There are rich opportunities for the study of earlier periods of Chinese history and culture. This is facilitated by the holdings of The University of Manchester Library - the third largest academic library in the UK. The John Rylands Research Institute and Library's holdings are a unique collection of early modern texts, art and objects that provide fecund ground for further research.
