How will having Chinese Studies in my degree title affect my job prospects?
Favourably! Twenty years ago Chinese Studies was still sometimes regarded as a minority subject, but now it’s becoming part of the mainstream. As the world realises China’s importance to so many aspects of our lives, so a degree which flags up your interest in and knowledge of China can only help to show an employer that you are a forward-looking, ambitious and perceptive person aware of international social and business trends and at home in a variety of cultural settings. Chinese Studies is still unusual enough, however, to help your job application to stand out from the pile of similar ones, especially when your Chinese Studies degree is from an internationally-respected university like Nottingham with a proven commitment to developing links with China.
