We are delighted to share with you that the China Study Centre, University of Peshawar, has successfully developed a one-year postgraduate Diploma in Chinese Studies (Sinology). This landmark program is a significant milestone in promoting Chinese Studies as an academic discipline at the University of Peshawar.
The Diploma in Chinese Studies (Sinology) is a two-semester program (one year) that will cover a range of topics, including Chinese Language, Society and Culture, Economic and political Development of China, and the Growing Influence of China in the World. The program will be taught by relevant experts from the University of Peshawar, as well as visiting teachers who will be hired specifically for this purpose. Additionally, Chinese experts from renowned Chinese universities will be engaged online to deliver seminars and lectures, providing students with a unique opportunity to learn from international experts.
The Academic Council, the highest governing body for academic affairs at the University of Peshawar, has formally approved the Diploma program, along with a Chinese Language Certificate course. While the language certificate courses are already being offered at the Centre, the Diploma program will be advertised soon, with classes expected to commence in September 2025.
We believe that this program will significantly contribute to promoting Chinese culture, language, and society, and we look forward to collaborating with the Chinese Embassy to further enhance our initiatives.
