Key Summary

    About: The Chinese postgraduate program offers in-depth knowledge and skills in the Chinese language and culture. With a focus on practical communication, students will engage in studying contemporary and classical texts, enhancing their understanding of China’s historical and societal contexts.
    Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue various careers, including roles in education, translation, international relations, and business, where proficiency in Chinese is an asset. They may also find opportunities in cultural institutions and research, contributing to the understanding of Chinese culture globally.

The Chinese program offers four levels of courses. In addition to intensive training of skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing, the program emphasizes the connection between curriculum and career and tries to create opportunities for students to use their acquired language skills in daily life and to learn other subjects.

Fourth level Chinese courses are designed with the concept of “using Chinese to learn” and a specific subject to be studied in Chinese (such as film, journalism, and business).

The department has a summer intensive language program at Peking University and a spring abroad program at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics through the Institute for Study Abroad (IFSA).
