Course Overview
A degree in Asia Pacific Studies and Chinese equips you with an appreciation of the cultures and communities in one of the world’s most vibrant and rapidly growing regions. It also gives you command over a major world language which continues to increase in importance.
Your studies will equip you with a range of transferable skills: teamwork, presentation, independent research and critical thinking. You’ll be able to form your own opinions from the evidence in front of you and communicate them clearly.

Many are working in Asia Pacific, while recent graduates have moved into careers in business, journalism, tourism publishing, diplomacy, teaching, aid work, the media, and language-specific roles in translation and interpreting.
