BA in Chinese Studies (Honours) in Darlington Australia | The University of Sydney

The Bachelor of Arts honours program serves as both a bridge to postgraduate studies and the crowning achievement of an undergraduate education. This intensive year can mark the completion of your academic journey, offering an opportunity to broaden your intellectual horizons while refining research skills, analytical thinking, and communication methods. It equips you with the personal and professional competencies required to successfully execute a research project. Ideal for undergraduates with a single major, honours also lays the foundation for academic or professional research careers. The program combines seminar participation with an independent research thesis, guided by a faculty expert in your chosen field.

In Chinese Studies, the honours year enables deep exploration of social, political, cultural, literary, or linguistic themes related to the discipline.

Students demonstrating strong academic performance in Chinese Studies are encouraged to pursue honours. The program accommodates varying levels of Chinese language proficiency and research interests, though greater prior language knowledge expands your potential project options.

Admission requires a minimum 70 average in a Chinese Studies major. Prospective students should consider enrolling in ASNS3690 Approaches to Research in Asian Studies during the semester preceding their honours commencement.
