The aim of the MA in Contemporary Chinese Culture and Business programme is to provide students with an advanced understanding of Chinese society including culture, education, social system, politics, law, business and management; to improve their linguistic and intercultural skills necessary to work in or relate to China; and to gain experience in dealing with Chinese and Asian counterparts on an executive level.
Contents
The programme will be run between September and July
The first two teaching periods (September to December and January to March) will be spent at UCC and will include intensive language (Mandarin) training, classes on intercultural management and politics and economics in Greater China. Some of these classes might be taught in the form of workshops and will as a general rule include Chinese language sources. By the end of the teaching period, student will develop an individual research interest in close co-operation with their supervisors.
During the Easter period (four weeks) students will prepare to go to China for further study and a research or work placement.
In teaching period three (May to July), students will undertake intensive training on Chinese (Mandarin) language and communication skills at UCC’s partner universities.
Then they will either continue their courses at the partner universities or undertake a work placement or pursue an individual research project. Supervision in situ by UCC staff or staff from UCC’s partner universities in China will be provided accordingly.
Students will return to UCC in July to finalise their research projects and present their final workshop, which will be assessed by the Institute of Chinese Studies
