BA Chinese Studies with Year Abroad

Course Overview

Typically you will have 12 hours of classroom teaching per week in the three years of the degree based in Durham. Language modules involve six hours per week of teaching, while modules on culture, history, and other topics are usually taught by means of weekly lectures and fortnightly seminars. Classroom teaching is an important part of your learning, but this is only the beginning. It provides a starting point for your development as an independent, self-motivated learner. The majority of your time will be spent working independently, reading widely, making notes, finding sources of information, listening to and viewing audiovisual materials. For each hour of timetabled classroom teaching, you will be expected to carry out approximately four hours of independent study and research.
