On this joint honours programme, you will study two major languages in the context of the histories, literatures and societies of the countries in which they are spoken.

China is one of the world's oldest civilisations, while German-speaking cultures have long had a profound international influence.

Mandarin Chinese is the world's second most widely spoken language. It is your gateway to a major economic and political global power - one whose scale makes an understanding of regional and cultural differences essential.

In Europe, more people speak German as their first language than any other. The language ranks in the world's top 20, being particularly important for business and politics.
