Bachelor of Arts in Chinese and English

During this four-year degree programme, undergraduates will read both English (ELH) and Chinese (CHIN), benefiting from the expertise and resources of the two disciplines from the School of Humanities (SoH).

For English, students will focus both on traditional historical periods and on contemporary innovative approaches to the subject. Specialisations offered include all the major literary periods, Singaporean and Asian literatures, critical and literary theory, cultural studies, film studies, drama, postmodernism, and gender studies. Combined with the Chinese component of the programme, students will study both classical and modern Chinese literature, to develop a deeper understanding of Chinese language, and a broader perspective on Chinese history and thought, modern China and the Chinese diaspora in Southeast Asia. The programme aims to equip students with multidisciplinary research skills and bilingual capabilities.
