Middle Eastern and Asian Languages and Cultures (Chinese) and English University of Malta

Overview

English

During the Middle Eastern and Asian Languages and Cultures (Chinese) and English course offered by University of Malta, you will become knowledgeable of different writing styles and will learn about the complex theories and critical approaches towards literature. 

By studying about canonical and non-canonical writers, both British and non-British, they will help you broaden your literary and linguistic horizon as you come to a firmer understanding of how literature captures the politics, tribulations, arts and culture of the world by defamiliarizing and reconstructing it on page. 

You will also be encouraged to participate in an Erasmus+ mobility programme for a more holistic and multicultural academic journey.

Applicants wishing to join the part-time mode must submit their application as full-time, and then include a note in the comments box of the application form, denoting their preference to be considered for the part-time option. Such requests will be considered by the Board of the Faculty.
