Ph.D. in Chinese Studies is an advanced research degree that studies Chinese language, culture, history, politics, and society. The program, which typically lasts three to five years, is interdisciplinary and may include a wide range of themes such as classical and modern Chinese literature, linguistics, philosophy, art, history, economic development, and China's involvement in world politics. Students conduct original study by evaluating historical texts, topical topics, Chinese philosophy, or present Chinese sociopolitical dynamics. Graduates frequently pursue positions in academia, research institutions, diplomatic services, international organizations, or businesses that specialize on Chinese language and culture. Admission typically needs a Master's degree in Chinese Studies, East Asian Studies, or a similar discipline, as well as high skill in the Chinese language and research methods.
