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.

This programme is designed to deliver a partial yet coherent programme in Ancient Egypt as students divide their time equally between Egyptology and Chinese Studies. Egyptology, being the study of a specific human culture, shares approaches with many core subjects in the Faculty. As a result, studying 50% Egyptology would work particularly well with a large number of other programmes both ancient (eg archaeology, classics and ancient history) and more modern (eg english, sociology, history, languages or politics).
