Course Details - Modules
In year one, in addition to a core module in the German language at the appropriate level, you take core and/or optional modules in German literature, culture, society and history. In Chinese you take a core Mandarin module at the appropriate level, together with a module introducing Chinese culture and institutions.
In year two, your language studies will be consolidated to prepare you for the year abroad. You will take modules in culture, history, politics and society from a wide choice of modules in both German and Chinese Studies.
Your third academic year is spent abroad, divided between the two languages, on a work placement or a school assistantship at a German or Austrian university and one semester studying Chinese language and culture at our own campus in Ningbo.
In year four you will develop your command of both languages and their use in increasingly sophisticated contexts and study optional modules drawn from the areas of literature, history, politics, society, media and linguistics.
Placement and volunteering opportunities are available in the School of Cultures, Languages and Area Studies, as well as via the Nottingham Advantage Award.
