Mandarin Chinese

As the official language of our neighbour China, skills in Mandarin are an asset for students pursuing careers in international business or economics.

Take a morning Mandarin class in Beijing, then venture out and explore one of the world’s oldest civilisations. Visit the expanses of the Forbidden City, the beautiful Summer Palace, and of course, the awe-inspiring Great Wall, descending from it’s heights on an exhilarating tobaggan ride! Before departing the capital, you will be welcomed into the home of a local minority family in the Hutongs, a traditional form of community housing.

Continue the adventure by practicing haggling in Xian’s Muslim Quarter, before coming face to face with the famous Terracotta Warriors. In Shanghai, gaze at the futuristic skyline and join a cosmopolitan mix of locals and travellers alike on the Maglev train, reaching a speed of 430kph!
