Take your course credits with you!
Applying to a university in China to study Chinese can be complicated and what would be the point of studying Chinese at a Chinese university if you can’t take the credits with you? Go Abroad China know how vital your studies can be, and we will work with you to ensure your program qualifies for credits at your university/college.
Our Learn Chinese at University programs have been designed in conjunction with some of China’s top universities and can be completed over any time period. Our team can work closely with our partner universities to meet your requirements for study.
How the Program Works
At the end of each University Learn Chinese program, the university issues an academic transcript. This document lists the courses each student has taken, the number of hours they attended class, and their final grades. You are encouraged to try and aim for at least 80% attendance to ensure you get the most out of your course.
Program classes are generally for 20 hours a week which is considered to be full-time study (although it’s more than full-time study by western university standards). A four-week program is considered to be equivalent to one semester of Chinese classes at a western university; a semester is several courses and should be awarded 12 to 15 credits in the US (a full semester's worth of classes).
Combine your studies with volunteering, an internship in China or private tutoring to enhance your time with us. Find out more about our Learn Chinese at University Programs.
Credit Transfer Options
All our international study and internship programs have been designed to complement your academic studies back home. If your university offers internship or allows external study credits to count towards your degree you can make your time in China count toward your degree for a more fulfilling experience!
We offer two credit transfer options: through your college or university at home or through our partner universities.
