Overview

During the past few decades this discipline has come under influence of area studies, China studies, but the characteristic trait of Sinology is that research within this discipline is largely based on materials written in Chinese. This Sinology (Chinese) programme is offered at Uppsala University.

We even offer doctoral studies in the subject of Sinology.
