The School currently has over 20 academic staff , but is expanding rapidly to meet a strong and rising demand for China studies and to support its PhD training programme and three new masters programmes, MA Chinese-English Translation and Interpreting, MA Contemporary Chinese Studies and MSc Management for Contemporary China. Launched two years ago, the PhD programme has recruited 15 full-time students, studying different aspects of contemporary China. The School has a popular and successful single honours undergraduate programme, BA Contemporary Chinese Studies, and eight other undergraduate programmes jointly run with the Schools of Economics, Business, History, Geography, Sociology, American Studies and others within the University of Nottingham.

Students enrolled onto these programmes have an option to spend various lengths of time in China for field work and research. The School also has a strong team of five Mandarin teaching professionals with outstanding language teaching facilities and intellectual capabilities. All Mandarin teachers hold a PhD degree with extensive research experience focusing on education and linguistics studies.
