Our degree courses with Foundation year offer the opportunity to prepare you for advanced study before you progress onto a full honours degree at the University of Westminster.<br/><br/>Whether you do not feel ready for degree-level study, don’t have the right qualifications, want to change your subject specialism or return to study after an absence from education, we aim to encourage a broad range of students to undertake our Foundation year in order to progress onto their full honours degree with us.<br/><br/>The Foundation year is designed to give you the opportunity to explore new ideas, opening up new perspectives on the key debates within your chosen field. Core modules accelerate your academic and professional development and you will also take modules from areas closely related to your chosen field, giving you the chance to develop a cross-disciplinary perspective on your course.<br/><br/>On successful completion of the Foundation year, you will be able to move on to study for the Chinese and International Communication BA Honours degree.<br/><br/>Our Chinese and International Communication BA develops your knowledge of the Chinese language and culture, and develops your communication skills for the professional global environment.<br/><br/>Our course helps you to achieve a good or high level of linguistic proficiency in Chinese in reading, writing, listening and speaking. It also gives you insight into and practice in communicating internationally as well as mediating between English and Chinese speakers.<br/><br/>The curriculum integrates applied language skills and cultural studies, while ensuring a rigorous development of your foreign language competence in all areas. We teach in an integrated interdisciplinary way, exploring the connections between language and culture and the broader historical and cross-cultural contexts in which they are produced. <br/><br/>Youll improve your ability as an intercultural communicator by studying how our ideas are shaped and communicated in a global society, where our interactions are no longer confined by national, regional or cultural boundaries.<br/><br/>Studying our Chinese and International Communication BA, youll acquire qualities and skills in areas such as interpersonal communication and organisational skills, analysis and argument, autonomy and team working, and team management. You’ll also build your flexibility, tolerance and organisational skills to enable you to be an effective international communicator. On graduation, youll be able to thrive linguistically in diverse cultural situations.<br/><br/>Between Years 2 and 3, you’ll have the option to spend a full academic year abroad at one of our partner institutions. This will give you a valuable opportunity to boost your employability while improving your language competence.<br/><br/>Our Chinese courses are only available to beginner or intermediate entrants – intermediate entrants are students who have obtained or might be studying for an A level in Chinese, or who might have achieved the equivalent of HSK Chinese Proficiency Test Level 3. Please note that we may need to test you to decide your entry point.
