Master of Arts (with Honours) - MA (Hons)The University of Edinburgh
Course details
Course description
You will study History of Art and Chinese Studies in equal depth with this joint honours programme.
Our degree takes advantage of the University of Edinburgh's long-standing tradition of studying Asian literary and visual culture, and our wider expertise in art from different periods and places.
On this programme, you will learn to read, write and speak modern standard Chinese to an advanced level. No prior knowledge is required.
The programme benefits from a growing global market and interest in Asian art. It also takes in a full survey of art from around the world, from around the year 500 to the present.
**Why Edinburgh?**
Edinburgh is a world-leading festival city filled with galleries, cinemas, theatres, libraries and collections. Its resources for studying art, languages and cultures are exceptional.
We are the only university in Scotland to offer both single and joint honours undergraduate honours programmes in Chinese. This means you can study:
* modern standard Chinese in the context of Chinese history and culture
* a broader survey of the History of Art, specialising in your honours years in the periods or topics that interest you most
You will spend Year 3 at a university in China or Taiwan. This will provide you with an immersive language experience and enable you to visit Asian artworks and cultural sites firsthand.
When you graduate, you will have the combination of broad cultural education and specialist knowledge valued by employers worldwide.
