Chinese Studies BA

About

The Chinese Studies BA programme enables students to acquire basic oral and written language skills in Chinese (Mandarin). Students will understand Chinese culture and society in its historical and contemporary dimensions and be able to apply their knowledge in a considered manner in a professional context. The optional International Bachelor in Chinese Studies (BA Plus) programme also offers additional teaching content and objectives, in turn enhancing students prospects on the international labour market. For this purpose, a limited number of places are available at a Taiwanese partner university for one year at a time (please refer to the study regulations for more details). Students on the Chinese Studies bachelors programme can apply for the available places on the international BA in the course of their studies (more detailed information on the procedures is available directly from the Department of Chinese Studies). Both versions of the Chinese Studies BA also prepare graduates interested in continuing their studies on the masters programme.

The highly research-oriented two-year programme, offered entirely in English, offers a unique curriculum covering topics such as cognitive and social development, psychopathological development, cultural variability of early childhood development, species comparison and phylogeny and ontogeny of psychological mechanisms, psychopathological developmental processes, cultural variability, and cognitive neuroscience. The programme imparts research-relevant soft skills such as project management, time planning, university didactics and science communication. The Early Childhood Research MSc programme aims to enable highly qualified students to enter research, consulting, coordination or continuing education in the interdisciplinary field of early childhood development.
