Vast and diverse, China has become one of the world’s major economic powers and boasts a rich and varied cultural heritage.
This degree offers you the chance to develop your Chinese language skills while exploring China’s social, cultural, political and historical context.
Compulsory modules will allow you to build your spoken and written Chinese, while a wide variety of optional modules will enable you to discover the aspects of Chinese politics, society and culture that interest you. You can even take modules covering the wider Asia Pacific region, such as Japanese literature, history and development in East Asia, or East Asian religions.
East Asian Studies at Leeds offers flexible and varied language degrees that focus on modern cultures and societies – but doesn't neglect their historical roots either.
This four-year degree includes a year abroad.
