Course summary
Lancaster’s joint Chinese Studies and Politics degree is taught by the Department of Languages and Cultures in conjunction with the Department of Politics, Philosophy and Religion. Your Chinese Studies programme gives you the opportunity to acquire high-level language skills while gaining a thorough understanding of China's historical, cultural, social and political background in a global context. Chinese may be studied at either beginner or advanced level. You will learn language and culture in innovative and engaging ways. For example, students learn the Chinese language in its social and cultural context by participating in a wide range of activities through the Chinese Friendship Project. Recent activities have included a day trip to Manchester Chinatown, Chinese Food Corner, Chinese Film Night, Chinese festival celebration, and more. In Politics, you will explore the themes, concepts and events that have shaped the contemporary world. Your first year comprises an exploration of the Chinese language and its cultural context as well as the core module ‘Politics in the Modern World’, which introduces you to key themes such as the theory and practice of liberal democracy, globalisation and threats to international security. In addition, you will study a minor subject from a list of subjects provided to you. In first year (Part 1), you will take the following modules:
- Politics in the Modern World
- Part I language studies
- Part I Chinese Studies (Beginners to CEFR: A2)
- Part I Chinese Studies (Advanced from CEFR B1 to B2)
