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.
