What the college says

China is a vast country with diverse culture and very long history. China is full of rich literature and philosophies. China has become the second largest economy in the world and plays a critical role in shaping the globe in the 21st century. Therefore, it is important to help young people in the UK to develop better understanding of the history, the culture, and the society of China and Chinese speaking regions. The acquisition of highly competent Chinese language skills can facilitate the process of communication and cooperation with Chinese speaking regions, companies and individuals. A Level Mandarin is a two-year course. It enables students to acquire the advanced language skills to operate in a Chinese environment. Students are encouraged not only to develop the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing, but also to conduct extensive research on Chinese history and culture. The course provides plenty of opportunities for students to develop higher order thinking skills.
