Study at Chinese university in December?

[barashkov]

Hi,

 

I have to attend a course in Hong Kong from September-November and mid-January-mid-April and would like to improve my Mandarin in course breaks (ie, December, April-June).

 

Are there any chinese universities that allow late registration to start attending the Mandarin courses in December/April?

 

I guess if there's not I will consider the option of a language school but I prefer to have university Mandarin courses on my CV due to the superficial industry I'm in.

Think it's unlikely. Perhaps after you finish you could find a summer school program.

Some Private school intensive courses are 5 days a week and have exams at the end. Depending on your level you could aim to do a HSK at the end of the course. That way you'd have the cert from the private school (maybe not that meaningful) and a HSK.

Probably your actual Chinese level is more important than having a random Chinese university on your CV anyway.

If you want the University course, then consider the Chinese University of Hong Kong part time course. It doesn't fit the December/April timeline but it does give you a University course.
