Program overview
The Ukrainian language program falls under the category of Foreign Languages and Literatures. It focuses on listening, speaking, reading, writing, and translating Ukrainian, while also covering Ukraine's history, culture, politics, and economy. Core courses include Basic Ukrainian, Advanced Ukrainian, Ukrainian Conversation, Ukrainian Listening, Ukrainian Reading, Ukrainian Writing, Translation Theory and Practice, Selected Readings in Ukrainian Literature, and Overview of Ukraine's National Conditions. Not many Chinese universities offer this major, but those like Beijing Foreign Studies University and Shanghai International Studies University have strong faculty and teaching resources, and some schools provide opportunities for exchange programs in Ukraine. This major is suitable for students interested in Eastern European culture, who enjoy language learning, and are willing to take on the challenge of a less commonly taught language. If you aspire to work in diplomacy, foreign trade, translation, or cultural exchange, Ukrainian can be a unique choice.
