Chinese language program

Course Overview

This one‑year Chinese Language Program gives students the chance to grow Mandarin proficiency in real settings. Students spend focused time on listening, speaking, reading, and writing Chinese, with regular classes and practice. As part of HAFA, they also meet peers from many countries, which adds to their cultural exposure. The program can help learners reach language levels like HSK (standard Chinese proficiency scale) that support future studies, including bachelor degrees or specialized programs taught in Chinese. Over time, the academy’s international student activities and scholarship options have created more openings for learners to make measurable progress in language capability and adapt to life in China.
