Course Structure
The Chinese Language Preparatory Course for Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK) course offered by FIS is designed and developed for graduates of non-Chinese nationals who wish to be admitted by the renowned Chinse Universities.
The objective of this course is to provide a platform for non-Chinese nationals to take up the Chinese Language and prepare them for the actual examinations of HSK. To ensure we are able to attract the best students, we have designed a 6-Month preparatory course for HSK starting from level I to V. This course consists of a combination of lecture, tutorials and discussions that prepare students for to eventually sit for Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK).
Upon the completion of the Chinese Language Preparatory Course for Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi(HSK), students are expected to master the knowledge of Chinese language that are required to sit for the HSK Examination. Students with satisfactory HSK examination results may apply for courses in the renowned universities in China.
