China plays an important role on the global stage and is one of the world's largest economies. This degree combines core and optional modules allowing you to become proficient in a major world language while gaining a broader understanding of the History and culture of China and East Asia as a whole. We teach Chinese from beginners' level, but if you already have some knowledge of the subject we can normally accommodate you.Linguistics explores how language works: how it is structured, interpreted and used. This degree will allow you to develop an understanding of human communication using approaches from the arts and sciences that will equip you with a variety of skills. Core and optional modules will allow you to explore topics such as language acquisition, syntax, language change and death as well as phonetics - the study of how speech sounds are physically produced.
