Study History of Art and Chinese Studies in equal depth with this joint honours programme. The degree takes advantage of the University of Edinburgh's long-standing tradition of studying Asian literary and visual culture and our other expertise.

As the world’s second most spoken language, Mandarin Chinese and its associated cultures have helped to shape the contemporary world in many ways. This particular degree benefits from a growing global market and interest in Asian art.

We are the only university in Scotland to offer both single and joint honours undergraduate honours programmes in Chinese. This means you can learn:

modern standard Chinese in the context of Chinese history and culture
a broader survey of the History of Art
