Long Term courses

Long term Chinese language courses are available at Dalian University of Technology, Dalian Maritime University or Ocean University of China in Qingdao. An academic semester contains 18 or 19 weeks of study and at all universities students study 22 hours of Chinese language class a week. Long term programmes are geared towards taking the HSK exam with emphasis on rapidly increading vocabulary and correct use of Chinese grammar. Additionally, students can attend weekly HSK preparation lectures for free.

While studying in Dalian or Qingdao, students can make good use of the Chinese in China social/cultural activites which will take place several times each semester and we will also organise 3 excursions to other cities each semeter. You can explore the city and beyond, see some interesting Chinese sights and meet new friends. The universities themselves also run fortnightly student taster activities such as Tai-Chi or calligraphy.

For programmes in Dalian there are several accommodation options available. Students studying at Ocean University of China in Qingdao are requested by the university to live in campus hostel accommodation for at least the first semester of study.

We are no longer taking long term study applications for the 2007 - 2008 academic year. If you would like to join a university class at Dalian University of Technology as part of the spring 2008 semester then we can help you to do this as a short term study program. Non-begineers can join the semester up until June 1st, 2008. Please contact info@chinese-in-china.com for further details.
