Course summary

These joint honours course allows you to combine your curiosity for human experience with your love of communicating in another language.

On this course you will follow an intensive language course in Mandarin at an appropriate level designed to take you to advanced, proficiency or research level within four years, depending on your entry level.

You divide your time equally between the two subjects across the degree. In the final year you will undertake a year-long special subject study in History, based on primary historical sources.

Many of our students say the year abroad is their course highlight. Not only do you have the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the Chinese language and culture, but spending time abroad can make you more independent and confident. Taking yourself out of your comfort zone wont only benefit your degree, itll shape the person you are to become.

How you will learn

When you begin studying at university, you will probably find that you cover material much more quickly than you did while studying for your A levels. The key to success is preparing well for classes and then taking the ideas you encounter further in your own time.

Lectures 鈥� provide an overview of what you are studying, using a variety of audio and visual materials to support your learning.

Seminars and workshops 鈥� give you the chance to explore and interact with the material presented in lectures in a friendly and informal environment. You will be taught in a smaller group of students, with discussion focusing on a text or topic you've previously prepared.

Workshops are more practical, perhaps through exploring texts, working with digital materials, or developing presentations.

Tutorials 鈥� individual and small-group tutorials let you explore your work with your module tutor, perhaps discussing plans for an essay or presentation, or following up on an area of a module which has interested you.

eLearning 鈥� our virtual-learning system, Moodle, offers 24-hour access to teaching materials and resources.

Careers overview

Studying languages can open up a world of opportunities. From banking to charities and from teaching to MI5, businesses and organisations across the globe seek to employ language specialists.

During this degree youll be able to choose from a wide range of modules, allowing you to tailor your studies around personal interests. In doing so youll start to identify potential career paths and begin to discover your areas of professional interest.

In addition to language skills, youll develop transferable skills highly sought after by employers such as confident communication skills, strict attention to detail and the ability to work within different cultures and organisational styles.

Combining language studies with history will help you develop critical reasoning skills, becoming an innovative problem solver able to communicate effectively.
