Chinese civilization laid the groundwork for contemporary East Asia. As China nears global superpower status once more, Australia is rethinking its ties with China and its regional position. ANU's Chinese Studies program enables students to explore China's rich heritage and current realities across multiple dimensions. This major encompasses history, cultural studies, language, literature (both classical and contemporary), political science, archaeology, calligraphy, and Taiwan studies. It equips students with comprehensive knowledge to pursue both broad and specialized understanding of Chinese traditions, historical evolution, social structures, and philosophical thought.
