Bachelor of Languages (Chinese Studies)

Want to zero in on the world's most widely spoken language? China is the second-largest international economy and a crucial partner in Australia's economic success. Nearly 20% of our global population speaks their official language. In a fast-changing world, mastering Mandarin will only open doors.

What will you do?

Our Bachelor of Languages (Chinese Studies) is interactive and immersive. You will:
