The Chinese pathway is intended for beginners or post-beginners with GCSE (or equivalent). If your current level of Mandarin Chinese is beyond this, contact us to check that we can offer a sufficiently advanced level for you.

Note - the pathway below is intended if you wish to study Chinese as a substantial part of your degree, with Chinese featured in your degree title as 'and/with'. However, you can take 30 credits each year in a language, as a third subject, through the Foreign Language Centre. There are a number of languages available, including Chinese (Mandarin). If you complete 60 credits or more you can add 'with proficiency in' the language into your degree title.
