Chinese & Screen Studies – (B.A.)

BA (Hons) Chinese and Screen Studies provides you with a thorough grounding in history of film and film theory as well as television and emerging screen technologies and its application to questions of style and form.
Students will also develop a firm grounding in Mandarin Chinese and in contemporary Chinese culture, society, economy and politics as well as China's changing relations with the West.
Screen studies will be studied by application to a mix of mainstream and avant-garde film drawn from Europe, Latin America and Hollywood. Alongside this will be the study of your other subject.
Students will study Mandarin Chinese throughout the course. The core language teaching in Mandarin Chinese enables you to develop various linguistic skills: speaking and writing accurately; understanding and analysing audio, video and written material; using different registers; speaking to a group with confidence; and translating with appropriate sensitivity.
At the same time, students can choose China-related topics in literature, film, cultural studies, politics, history, linguistics, economics, development studies, and business, drawing on the wide range of research expertise in Chinese Studies across the Faculty of Humanities. In this way, you will be able to tailor the course in keeping with the development of your interests.
