Explore the culture and history of China and Thailand and learn two languages, gaining valuable skills for a global career.
We teach both languages from beginner level, but if you have some prior knowledge we can normally accommodate you. You’ll build your skills in each language through core modules, and you’ll be introduced to the culture, history and politics of China, Thailand and the Asia Pacific region.
A wide range of optional modules will expand your knowledge, allowing you to focus on development issues, Chinese culture, Japanese cinema and recent Thai history among others. Due to the size of East Asian Studies at Leeds, we are able to offer flexible and varied degrees that allow you to pursue your interests.
In this five-year course you’ll spend two years abroad, with a year in China and a year in Thailand giving you first-hand experience of the languages and cultures.

Career opportunities
A degree in Chinese and Thai will give you valuable communication skills in the languages of two fast-growing countries which are increasingly important on the global stage. You’ll also have a real awareness of the complex and diverse cultures that make up the vibrant and powerful Asia Pacific region.
That will open a number of doors into a range of different careers, both within East Asia and around the world. However, it will also equip you with valuable transferable skills that are highly sought by all kinds of employers.
You’ll be able to work independently and research topics thoroughly, critically reflecting on what you have found and drawing your own conclusions – which you’ll then be able to clearly present and defend.
As a result, graduates have gone into a range of careers in business, journalism, publishing, diplomacy, tourism, teaching, broadcasting, overseas aid work, PR and language-based roles such as translation and interpreting. They work around the world, throughout China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Thailand but also across East Asia, the UK, Europe and the USA.
