Current Chinese students and recent graduates tell their own stories.
Chinese
Chinese develops your understanding of contemporary China, an increasingly important global economic power.
You can study Chinese language from beginners to advanced stages. Your language study will be embedded in cultural contexts as you develop your knowledge of Chinese society, history, politics, film and literature. At postgraduate level you can focus on Chinese translation, linguistics and language teaching.
Chinese and your career
Our graduates have careers in international organisations, NGOs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and other areas of government. You might also work for a multinational company or a New Zealand company in Asia, or within New Zealand's Asian communities.
Study options in Chinese
Chinese is available for both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, and is taught by the School of Asian Studies.
