New Chinese Language Program 2012
Beginning from 2012, the Confucius Institute will be offering a highly structured set of Basic Chinese language courses based on our cooperation with the Centre for Continuing Education (CCE).
This new joint course program will replace our previous Beginners and Intermediate Chinese Language courses.
The cooperation between CI and CCE will enable us to offer a two year intensive program and a four year standard program in Basic Chinese language that gives students a clear long-term perspective and a structured program that is based on the most widely used international teaching material, Integrated Chinese.
For a full list of courses open for enrolment, go to the CCE Chinese website and scroll down to the 'COURSES' heading.
