Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Chinese Studies and Mathematics

Program Overview

Lancaster’s joint Chinese Studies and Mathematics degree is taught by the School of Global Affairs in conjunction with the School of Mathematical Sciences.

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 Maths, you’ll study in-depth mathematical theory and practice and have the option to specialise in pure mathematics or statistics.

Your first year comprises an exploration of the Chinese language and its cultural context, and core modules in Mathematics. Alongside these, you will study a minor subject.

Building on your language skills in Year 2, you will study one Chinese oral skills module and one Chinese written skills module at the same level of proficiency. In addition, you will study the culture, politics and history of the Chinese-speaking world in more depth, as well as selecting one language and culture module which is international in scope and which promotes comparative understanding at a global level. Students combine these with several maths modules from a range of options.

Your third year - the International Placement Year - in a Chinese-speaking country will deepen your intercultural sensitivity and your command of the language. You can study at a partner university and practise your language skills in a real-world context. Staff members within the department will work with you to ensure that you are fully prepared before embarking on your placement.

In your final year, you will consolidate your Chinese language skills, and choose from language specific or specialist culture and comparative modules. You will also have a choice of optional Mathematics modules.

You can find some examples of optional modules in the Course Structure section below.
