The Bachelor of Arts at the University of Wollongong will equip you for today’s rapidly changing world.
Mandarin is the first language of more than one billion people and the world's most spoken language.
China has a 5,000-year history and culture and boasts the fastest-growing economy worldwide.
Cultural and economic exchange between China and its neighbours continually increases, and Chinese language skills are now in great demand.
This UOW degree is for students who already know Chinese characters but speak a Chinese dialect such as Shanghainese, Cantonese or Taiwanese and do not speak Mandarin or wish to improve their Mandarin skills.
At UOW, you will study Mandarin language, grammar, culture and history.
You will learn Mandarin from the comparative linguistic perspective and be able to express yourself clearly and accurately in spoken and written Mandarin in a wide range of situations, including social and the global business market.
By analysing film, poetry and other cultural products, you will learn to recognise and respond personally to differences between Chinese culture and your own cultural heritage.
Undertaking a work-integrated learning experience during your university education is now a significant contributor to being competitive in securing employment in your field of choice when you graduate from UOW.
The Faculty of the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities internship program allows students to apply the knowledge and skills acquired in their degree in a workplace setting.
