Language Masters Degrees

I'm currently doing a BA in Chinese, After this I would like to go on to study a masters, preferably on a course that would let me improve my Chinese skills while learning a new language. Do such courses exist?? I can only seem to find courses in translation studies etc. that would not let you learn a new language . . .

I have scoured post-graduate courses for languages, and I do not believe that such a thing exists.

You can MA's in languages. Manchester, for instance, offers an European Languages and Cultures MA which lets you specialise in languages such as French, German, Italian, Russian and Spanish. I should point out, though, that courses like these aren't focused so much on teaching the language but on the literature and cultural aspects.

But, since you're interested in Chinese, have a look at unis like SOAS. They offer an MA in Chinese Studies which would build on your degree.
