Made in China Students at CCS Modern China The Centre for Chinese Studies

The Centre for Chinese Studies is a leading interdisciplinary teaching and research unit at the University of Manchester that provides a home for research into diverse aspects of Asia/China; from politics and societal development, to science and technology, economy, history, religions and arts.

We believe that in-depth knowledge of Chinese language and culture is crucial to a real understanding of China. Graduates can achieve competence in Chinese history, international politics and economic developments for strong career prospects in business and academia.
