Study in China

Opportunities for Language Study in China

When learning a language there is no substitute for in-country experience. To be surrounded by people speaking the language you're learning, to engage with the culture every day, and to have to use your language skills to make yourself understood and get things done, is an exciting, challenging, and rewarding experience which is invaluable for enriching your understanding of Chinese life and culture, growing your language proficiency and developing your confidence. UNE recommends that students of Chinese incorporate a period of immersion study in China in their degree, and we offer opportunities for doing this for periods ranging from 4 weeks to one or two semesters.

Depending on the course you are enrolled in, you may be required to undertake some in-country language study, or else it may be an option available to you. Either way, it will be a valuable experience on many levels – personal, educational, and professional.
