Bachelor of Arts (Chinese)

Spoken by 1.3 billion people, Chinese is the world’s most spoken first language. China also has one of the world’s most vibrant economies, and is a major trade partner of Australia. With Asia’s continuing social and economic growth, an understanding of Chinese language and culture is increasingly important in global engagement.

In this major you will gain the knowledge and skills required for a diverse international career. You'll develop a high level of literacy in Chinese – listening, speaking, reading and writing – and a deep understanding of Chinese culture and society.

This major is suitable for all students. Previous study of Chinese is not required and advanced classes are provided for students who have studied Chinese previously.
