University of Liverpool's Chinese Studies programme provides students with the skills to engage fully with China from different dimensions and perspectives, thereby opening the door to truly international employment opportunities. Studying Chinese at 50% will enable students to become fully proficient in reading, writing, speaking, and listening to the language. Students will also deepen their knowledge and understanding of Chinese society and culture. Modules range from learning about ancient Chinese civilization to contemporary Chinese cinema, from Confucius and Laozi to Chairman Mao, from Peking opera to Chinese rock music. In the Archaeology courses, students will develop an understanding of archaeological methods and theory to unlock some of the most fundamental questions about human life, from the emergence of human species until the 20th century. Studying human, animal and plant remains, artifacts and art, students will learn how to reconstruct the past from its material remains. They will investigate the major social, economic, religious and technological developments in long-term human history, from Britain to South Africa and Spain to China, and learn how to carry out archaeological excavation and survey.
