Lancaster’s joint Chinese Studies and History degree is taught by the School of Global Affairs in conjunction with the Department of History. This degree includes an international placement in Year 3.

Your Chinese Studies programme gives you the opportunity to acquire language skills at beginner level, while gaining a thorough understanding of the country’s historical, cultural, social and political background in a global context. You will learn language and culture in innovative and engaging ways. For example, students learn the Chinese language in its social and cultural context by participating in a wide range of activities through the Chinese Friendship Project. Recent activities have included a day trip to Manchester Chinatown, Chinese Food Corner, Chinese Film Night, Chinese festival celebration, and more.

In History, you will develop your critical abilities studying modules in British, European and American world history.

Your first year comprises an exploration of the Chinese language and its cultural context as well as the core history module. Alongside this, you can choose a third first year subject either from History or from other subjects related to your degree.

Building on your language skills in Year 2, you will have the opportunity to study the culture, politics and history of the Chinese-speaking world in more depth in the core module, Shaping Contemporary China: Moments and Movements. You can also select a module that is international in scope and promotes comparative understanding at a global level. You will combine these with the core module, Making History: Contexts, Sources and Publics and select from a range of History options.

Spending your third year - the International Placement Year - abroad in a Chinese-speaking country gives you the opportunity to develop your language proficiency while deepening your intercultural sensitivity. You can study at a partner institution and practise your language skills in a real-world context.

In your final year, you will consolidate your Chinese language skills and study specialist culture and comparative modules You will also select from a range of history modules. You will also have the opportunity to combine your interests in both subjects in a longer, supervised project.
