With China on the verge of becoming a world power again, Australia seeks to redefine its relationship with China and its role in the region. Chinese Studies at ANU allows students to engage both broadly and deeply with China’s past and present.
The Chinese Studies Major offer courses in history, culture, linguistics, literature (traditional and modern), politics, archaeology, calligraphy, and on Taiwan. The Major provides students with a solid foundation upon which to develop both general and specialist interests in Chinese culture, history, society and thought.
