Program Description

University of Liverpool's Chinese Studies programme provides students with the skills to engage fully with China from different dimensions and perspectives, thereby opening the door to truly international employment opportunities. Studying Chinese at 50% will enable students to become fully proficient in reading, writing, speaking, and listening to the language. Students will also deepen their knowledge and understanding of Chinese society and culture. Modules range from learning about ancient Chinese civilization to contemporary Chinese cinema, from Confucius and Laozi to Chairman Mao, from Peking opera to Chinese rock music.

In the Ancient History courses, students explore the political, social and cultural history of Ancient Greece and Rome; examine how individuals and communities organized themselves, met the challenges of daily life and extraordinary events, and responded to change in the context of expanding horizons, shifting power relations and radical new ideas. Students will develop the skills to read and analyze the surviving (and sometimes conflicting) evidence, allowing them to reach and present their own judgements convincingly on a variety of complex and controversial issues. Students can also study Greek and/or Latin from beginner’s to advanced levels.
