Chinese and International Relations (Honours) University of Westminster

Overview

This Chinese and International Relations (Honours) degree offered at the University of Westminster   will enable you to achieve a good or high level of linguistic competence in Chinese in all four skill areas (reading, writing, listening and speaking), and a critical understanding of culture and politics from the perspective of the changing dynamics of the global political order. 

You'll have the opportunity to study language, culture and international relations in an integrated way, exploring the connections between them and the broader geopolitical and cross-cultural contexts in which they are produced. You'll also gain the transferable and cognitive skills necessary for lifelong personal and professional development.

The University of Westminster and its courses are located in London.

Careers

• As part of the degree, you'll have the opportunity to spend an academic year abroad at a partner institution and/or, depending on your language level, in an approved form of employment in a Chinese-speaking country, enabling you to develop your language skills in a real-world setting.
