This dynamic five-year program allows you to master two globally significant languages while gaining profound insights into contemporary societies through the study of their histories and cultures. You'll immerse yourself for one academic year in China and another in a Russian-speaking nation, enhancing your linguistic abilities while experiencing these vibrant cultures firsthand.
As East Asia's predominant cultural, political, and economic force for more than 2,000 years, China now represents nearly 20% of the world economy and stands as a hub for technological advancement, business development, and cultural creativity. Leeds' Chinese program, among the UK's most established, captures the nation's rich diversity and ongoing transformation to provide comprehensive knowledge of contemporary China.
The five-year curriculum includes two international study components. You'll complete a year at a Chinese or Taiwanese educational institution, followed by another year undertaking intensive Russian language training in a Russian-speaking environment.
