Chinese

Graduates are in high demand in a wide variety of sectors, from finance and banking through to non-profit organisations.

Studying Chinese leads to varied careers in:

• media
• tourism
• culture
• government
• civil service

Many Chinese-speaking graduates are currently recruited by companies based in East Asia, an increasingly powerful player in the global economy.

With Scotland's strategy to enhance engagement with China, opportunities for employment are increasing closer to home, too. These include opportunities in translation, interpreting and education.
