MA Programmes in Languages Chinese
A Master of Arts degree, also called an MA, is a graduate degree that is usually given after advanced study in a particular field. Applicants to such programs usually have an undergraduate degree, often in the arts as well.
What is an MA in Chinese? More than just learning how to read, speak and write the language more naturally, a master’s degree in Chinese usually provides students with the context within which the language developed. That is, the history, culture, philosophy and literature of the people who speak it may also be delved into. Depending on the program, students may have the opportunity to take electives in more than one Chinese language such as Cantonese or Hokkien.
The study of any language can help to increase a person’s communication skills, useful in all careers and personal life. Developing culture sensitivity can help one understand people better in general. Language study also helps develop new neural pathways, allowing for greater mental flexibility.
There are a variety of factors that can affect the cost of an MA degree, such as the institution that one attends as well as where in the world it is. When comparing programs, students should be sure to review any additional fees above and beyond tuition costs.
A graduate with an MA in Chinese may find work in a number of positions such as a translator, interpreter or teacher. The types of companies and organizations that may require someone with this ability include corporations that do business with or have branches in China, government departments, and universities. Within these companies, with the right skill set or experience, one may also find work as a public relations specialist or a marketing consultant.
