Chinese Language Courses (CHN)

Chinese language courses are offered in the target language (Mandarin). There are also Chinese studies cultural courses in English.

Prior to registering for your first Chinese langugage course, you must take the appropriate online placement test. You will typically receive your results within 2 business days. During peak enrolment periods, results may take longer than usual. It is recommended that students take a placement test at least a week before their enrolment date. If you have not received your results after one week, please contact the Chinese Placement Test Coordinator Dr. John Stowe (opens in new window) .
