MA (Honours) Chinese Studies and Italian in St Andrews United Kingdom | University of St Andrews

At St Andrews, Chinese Studies provides a comprehensive exploration of Chinese language and diverse cultural expressions. Moving past conventional approaches focused solely on language and literature, the program incorporates both visual media and contemporary popular culture. Although Chinese isn't available as a standalone Honours program at St Andrews, students can pursue it alongside numerous other disciplines through joint Honours degrees. The curriculum examines mainstream, alternative, and dissenting cultural expressions across national, regional, ethnic, and diasporic contexts. Coursework emphasizes modern themes with both Chinese and worldwide relevance, such as gender identity, environmental challenges, consumer culture extremes, governance transparency, and historical remembrance.
