Modules

*Programme modules listed are illustrative only and subject to change.


UK degrees are three years long whereas in China they are four, therefore we do accept students with certain qualifications directly into Year Two, which is the start of the main academic programme. Most students, however, enter into Year One, which provides you with a range of interesting modules, language classes and core skills for your degree.

Careers

Our graduates can find employment in various roles within public, private and not-for-profit organisations. Your knowledge of business practices in both Chinese and international contexts will give you an edge in securing employment in international organisations. The knowledge you gain in this programme will also provide a strong foundation for further study.
