BA - Chinese Language in Canberra Australia | The Australian National University

This program teaches students to communicate effectively in Standard Modern Chinese (Mandarin), developing skills in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. As China's global influence expands and Australia's relationship with China strengthens, Mandarin has become increasingly vital. Mastering Mandarin offers insights into Chinese culture while opening doors to diverse career opportunities worldwide. The curriculum accommodates both new learners and heritage speakers, with advanced options including translation studies, Cantonese, and Classical Chinese for those with existing language skills.

We strongly recommend students consider studying abroad at universities in mainland China, Taiwan, or other Mandarin-speaking regions. High-achieving students may apply for competitive study abroad scholarships.
