Learning Chinese opens a window to understanding China's culture and way of life, and how the nation now plays an increasingly active role in world affairs.
Build international awareness and boost your employability by studying Chinese alongside courses in business, education, tourism, engineering, information technology or politics.
There are separate majors for native speakers of Mandarin and other Chinese dialects.
Career possibilities
Our programs prepare you for your first job and beyond. Here are some of the careers you could be on your way to:
- Travel consultant

After graduating, I created my own company – an Australian/Chinese Business Consultancy Group for companies who want to import or export with China. We speak Chinese and know the culture. The best bit is I get to travel to China regularly!
