International University SDI München

Bachelors in Modern Chinese Studies

Become a specialist for China!

China is one of the oldest advanced civilisations and one of the largest economic powers in the world. Every fifth person speaks – and thinks in – Chinese. The Bachelor's degree programme in Modern Chinese Studies will make you a multilingual communication professional and specialist for China – without any prior knowledge of the Chinese language!

During the 7-semester degree programme, you will combine language with intercultural competence and can choose between different specialisations: Choosing international business will introduce you to the field of international business and economics and will give you an understanding of global economic relationships. Specialising in language, culture, and translation will improve your China competence for a variety of career prospects in the sense of an encounter with contemporary China.

During the internship abroad, you will bring your language skills to a high level (HSK 5) and thus belong to a small group of people who are able to start a career as bridge builders between East and West.
