Chinese language program

Course Overview

The one‑year Chinese Language Program at Panzhihua University gives students a structured setting to build Mandarin proficiency from beginner toward a level where they can use the language for daily life, work, or academic purposes. Language classes include listening, speaking, reading and writing, and are arranged in groups matched to student skill so learners can improve at a steady pace. Students who complete the course and meet assessment standards may also work toward widely accepted certificates like HSK, which can support future university admission in China or global job opportunities. The university’s international student services include help with visa support, accommodation, and cultural adjustment, helping students focus on their studies with guidance.

Language Requirement

• This Chinese Language Program is taught in Mandarin, so applicants focus on their Mandarin entry requirements. For language programs like this one, formal English test scores such as IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, or Duolingo are normally not required for admission, as instruction and evaluation are in Chinese. Basic English may be useful for admissions paperwork, but there is no set minimum score in English for this course.
