Preparatory Education on the Chinese Language for International Students in China
Chinese is the major teaching language for International students in Chinese universities. Books, periodicals, and reference materials in university libraries and archives are mostly in Chinese. Therefore, international students have to have a command of Chinese to a certain level in order to finish their studies smoothly.
Undergraduate, Master Degree, or Ph.D students and Visiting students (those enrolled at other universities) who didn't learn Chinese, or whose Chinese proficiency doesn't meet the needs of subject studies before coming to China, have to learn basic Chinese for one or two school years upon arrival. Visiting students and graduate students who are taught directly in foreign languages still need to pick up some Chinese for the convenience of daily life and study.
