Re: University of leeds chinese ba 2012 entryI am applying to Leeds for Chinese
My other choices are Oxford, Durham, SOAS and Manchester.
This year is my 3rd year of Chinese so I know the basics ... I hope it will help me getting into some of my choices !
What are your other choices ?
And, YES, Chinese is awesome

Re: University of leeds chinese ba 2012 entryMe too
I've studied for a couple of years but i'm still only at a really basic level so i'l definately be starting from the beginning again at uni.
I've also applied to Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Nottingham and University of Central Lancashire.
So far I've recieved offers from everywhere except Leeds and Sheffield (my top 2, grrr!!)
Where have you applied and have you recieved any offers yet?

Re: University of leeds chinese ba 2012 entryYes I got one too ! For Chinese (Modern and Classical) ! I have to get 14 points at the French bac, including 13 in English complement so it's pretty easy !(Original post by KatYXT)
Just got an offer from Leeds today
but the grades they are asking for is AAB which is higher than what I thought it would be (though it would be ABB) :\
Still so happy to have the offer, anyone else got one yet?
I'm soooo happy !! -

Re: University of leeds chinese ba 2012 entryFrom my experience, in my year there are some BBC students, some internationals, some home students. No-one who's like actually /from/ China/Taiwan. I'm a 4th year.(Original post by sallylo)
I'm applying for Chinese too. Is anyone here applying for this course Chinese?

Re: University of leeds chinese ba 2012 entryI just got two conditionals from Leeds:
Chinese and History AAB
Chinese Studies ABB
I'm surprising about the offer for Chinese Studies, considering it says ABC or BBB on their website. Ahh well, just means I don't have an extremely safe insurance. I think I'm going to firm Sheffield over Leeds though! -

Re: University of leeds chinese ba 2012 entryAs a bit of comparison, people doing Chinese at Sheffield are better at speaking, but people at Leeds are better at reading and writing. Just the way the course is focussed. And it's becoming a much more competitive course! It used to be BBC...(Original post by Triggster)

Re: University of leeds chinese ba 2012 entryEveryones getting offers from Leeds for ABB, mine was AAB
I was wanting to put Leeds as an insurance choice aswell... or just a low first choice as the course looks really good and loads of people recomend Leeds to me for studying chinese!

Re: University of leeds chinese ba 2012 entryWell if you can meet the offer, firm it... as an idea of ability, the GCHQ Chinese level example test? I can understand it without a problem (both reading and listening). That's where you should be, if not better, by 4th year. It's a good course!(Original post by KatYXT)
