 Macquarie University - Asian Studies About Chinese Studies at Macquarie University Chinese at Macquarie is taught in the Department of International Studies, in which you can also study a number of courses on Chinese Studies in English or in Chinese, including literature, civilisation, calligraphy and history. There are many reasons why you might want to learn Chinese or study about China. China has a long and fascinating history, and has emerged in the twenty-first century as a world power - particularly in the Asia Pacific region. It is likely that Australians who take up the study of Chinese in their university years will find it a decisive factor in their lives and careers, as many of our graduates have done over the past few years. Many will want to work in China, and now there are many opportunities to do so. Some people may want to learn Chinese for general cultural reasons, others because they are interested in languages, others because they want to learn more about the language of their parents or grandparents. Students are encouraged to study in China, either in a residential course organised by the Department, or for one or two semesters under various exchange agreements. Macquarie provides generous travel scholarships to enable you to take up these opportunities. The language taught is Mandarin, the standard language of modern China, as used by educated native speakers from China. The romanisation system used is pinyin; simplified characters, the standard characters used in China, are mandatory; most of the textbooks are from Beijing and the pronunciation taught is that of Beijing. Traditional characters are also taught at 300 level, and in some of the more advanced literature courses. Graduates will find their knowledge of Chinese of great importance in whatever career they choose, as representatives of the Australian government or companies in Asia, as teachers at primary and secondary level, or as academics specialising in the history or politics of China. Students wishing to use Chinese professionally after graduation are advised to combine the study of Chinese with a discipline such as economics, law or accounting. Students might also combine Chinese with such disciplines as history, politics, economics, anthropology, linguistics, mass communications, geography or demography. 02-9850 7008 Faculty of Humanities Balaclava Road North Ryde, NSW 2109 Australia Fax Fax: 02-9850 7046 Phone Phone: 02-9850 7008 Tuition charges Tuition fees: Please check website for details.
