2.5-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate for Business, Law and Social Sciences - Continue to Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Chinese Studies and Classics (Honours Select 50:50)

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.

The Classics pathway covers the learning of both Latin and Greek and reading texts in the original language. The programme extends from beginners level in both languages to advanced level, and students will be put into the programme at the stage that fits with any previous experience they have had. There are five levels for each language in this programme, and students are slotted in at the appropriate level for their language experience. It may be that students will do Greek I at the same time as Latin III if they have an A level in Latin and not in Greek.
