Bachelor of Arts in Chinese

Chinese is a four-year direct honours programme which provides a concrete foundation in both classical and modern Chinese literature, a deeper understanding of Chinese language, and a broader perspective on Modern China and the Chinese Diaspora in Southeast Asia. The programme aims to equip students with multidisciplinary research skills and bilingual capabilities. We have strong and active interests in Modern Chinese Literature, Chinese Language, and especially the Chinese Diaspora in Southeast Asia. The Minor in Translation is another unique programme open to all NTU students who are interested in receiving practical and professional trainings in translation between Chinese and English. We also partnered the National Arts Council to run a Chinese creative writing residencies programme. Critically acclaimed writers, both local and international, will work on a literary project of their own and teach creative writing courses in NTU. Eminent writers who have been in residence include Yeng Pway-Ngon (Singapore) and Su Wei-Chen (Taiwan).
