Why study Chinese?

Did you know that:

Chinese at DCU

Chinese is offered on the BA in Applied Language and Intercultural Studies (ALIS) degree programme offered by the School of Applied Language and Intercultural Studies. No prior knowledge of Chinese is expected, and courses are designed for complete beginners. Students on the ALIS programme spend the third year of their studies at a Chinese University. This year abroad  gives students valuable experience in immersing themselves in a different culture and they usually have a really exciting year.
