Neil Monahan
Speechwriter and Editor at The Resident Coordinator’s Office at the United Nations, Nigeria. M.Phil. in Chinese Studies 2020

For anybody wishing to understand China, the rising superpower set to dominate the 21st century, I would highly recommend the M.Phil in Chinese Studies course at Trinity College Dublin. Through modules on Chinese history, politics, foreign policy, culture and language I gained a 360 degree perspective of this fascinating nation. I would encourage Irish students in particular to undertake this course as we need many more "China hands" in Ireland as the connections between our two countries increase and as China’s political and economic influence grows.

对于任何人希望了解中国这个正在崛起并着手主宰二十一世纪的超级强国,我会极力推荐圣三一大学的中国研究硕士课程。通过有关中国历史、政治、外交政策、文化和语言等课堂,我对中国这个迷人的国家获得全面的认识。我尤其鼓励爱尔兰学生报读这个课程。因为爱尔兰与中国的联系变得更为紧密,中国对爱尔兰的政治和经济影响亦不断增加,所以我们需要更多「中国通」。Neil Monahan, 联合国驻尼日利亚协调办公室演讲撰稿人兼编辑

Yang Jinlong
Secretary-General of Shenzhen Accessibility Promotion Association. M.Phil. in Chinese Studies (2018)

As a Chinese student, studying Chinese Studies abroad at Trinity College Dublin was a wise choice for me. The study of the humanities and social sciences here requires not only reflection but also objective and critical thinking. Going out of China was precisely the best way for me to deepen my understanding of China.

作为一个中国学生,赴海外在圣三一大学学习中国研究是我的一个明智选择。在这里对人文社科的学习不仅要求结合个人经历,并且要求客观公正的态度和挑战式的思维方式。从一个外部的角度来审视 中国,是一个最好的加深对中国理解的方式。

Heather Gray
Artist. M.Phil. in Chinese Studies, 2017

The M.Phil. in Chinese Studies at TCD was an amazing experience for me. The course opened my mind to different ways of thinking and gave me a deeper understanding of Chinese history, culture, language and art in relation to the wider world. The expertise, energy and enthusiasm of the Trinity Centre for Asian Studies is contagious. I met fantastic people that I never would have met otherwise and it offered me invaluable opportunities for further study, even after I graduated.

I currently run my own business, ArtMaker Dublin, which provides classes, wk1workshops, and art to the public, to cultural institutions and for festivals. I am on the Chester Beatty Museum’s panel of artists and I work for the Dublin Lunar New Year Festival amongst others. I can highly recommend the M.Phil. to anyone wishing to improve their academic skills and deepen their understanding of China and the world. 

圣三一大学的中国研究硕士课程对我来说是一个精彩的经验。课程扩阔了我的眼界,让我从不同角度思考,亦加深了我对中国歴史、文化、语言、艺术的认识,以及它们与世界的关系。圣三一大学亚洲研究中心的专业知识、活力、热诚有着感染力。因为圣三一大学,我遇上很多非常棒的人,亦因此获得宝贵的学习经验。

我现在经营自己的生意:ArtMaker Dublin,为公众、节日和文化机构提供艺术课堂、工作坊。我亦是Chester Beatty Museum博物管的艺术家小组成员,亦曾为都柏林市春节活动工作。我会向希望提升学术能力,以及加深对中国和世界认识的人推荐圣三一大学的中国研究硕士。艺术家 Heather Gray, 2017级中国研究硕士学生

Sam Lee
M.Phil. in Chinese Studies (2019)

The M.Phil. in Chinese Studies at Trinity was the best choice. During my year of academic training, I learned about key research methodologies and findings in political science, translation, linguistics, cultural studies and Chinese history. Importantly, I have gained a lot from studying in small classes. Not only can I now discuss different topics with professors and classmates deeply, but I can also explore further discussions with confidence. Really good academic atmosphere and a valuable study experience!

於聖三一學院修讀中國研究哲學碩士課程是我的最佳選擇。在一年間的學術訓練,我學會社會科學、翻譯、語言學、比較文化及中國現代史相關的研究方法及議題。更重要的是該課程以小班教學為本,令我獲益良多。我受益於課堂上不同議題上的討論,藉此與教授和同窗緊密交流,亦從中發掘有趣的見解。這可視為一種良好學風和一次珍貴的學習經驗。

Lanqing Li
M.Phil. in Chinese Studies (part-time) 2020

The M.Phil. in Chinese Studies at Trinity has been a very meaningful and eye-opening experience for me. I have gained multiple academic perspectives and critical thinking skills. Discussing topics with my peers and professors from many different cultural, educational and political backgrounds has been such a benefit, and given me a new zest for life.

就读圣三一大学的中国研究硕士读程是一个很有意思的经验,而且令我眼界大开。我学会用不同角度观察事物。通过跟来自不同文化、教育和政治背境的同学和教授的讨论,我亦学会批判思考。在这里,我觉得每一天都值得探索。 李兰清 2020级中国研究硕士学生。
