Course Overview

Studying Chinese at the University of Chester offers you the unique opportunity to undertake two placements as part of your degree, allowing you to split your study experience between the UK and China.

Your first placement will be for six to eight weeks at the end of Year 2, and the second placement will be either a semester or a full academic year in China. By the end of the course, you may have made friends for life from across the world.

Our Languages For All program allows you to also study one of eleven languages at a range of levels in addition to your degree. Fees are fully reimbursed on completion of the course.

Develop strong communication and presentation skills, the ability to work autonomously and in groups, analytical and critical discernment, and the resilience developed during placements abroad.
