Guest Posted September 13, 2018 at 01:40 PM Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 at 01:40 PM Hi, I'm from Spain and speak chinese with my parents (I know some chinese character, maybe less than 100 I think) i'm going to enroll in spring chinese course at Tsinghua (if I get accepted). I know it's a bit early, but I have some questions before application date is open - I can't find the exact application schedule for 2019 spring course, is it the same date as 2018? (15 october - 31 november) - Is there any guide for booking a room at Tsinghua campus accommodation? (by some other post, I think I should get the idea of looking some accommodation out campus) - Where can I find a 2019 course calendar with the begin, end and festive dates? - Is there any blog that show you how is living in china for a "foreigner" student? (I'm following Hafuguo youtube channel) PS: My english isn't very well too... I know i'll have a hard time studying in china Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChTTay Posted September 15, 2018 at 07:56 AM Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 at 07:56 AM Feel bad that no one has replied. 1. Email them. There website is pretty swish these days and, even when I applied years ago, they were pretty good at communication. 2. Most threads here say the dorms sell out instantly so why even bother? Just live off campus. 3. Just look for Chinese festival and holiday dates generally. Everyone is off the same time roughly. Of course, you being a student will have the legal holiday for those dates and likely extra days off for bigger holidays like Spring Festival and then summer. Unlikely any Xmas holiday. 4. This forum has lots of information. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 15, 2018 at 11:05 AM Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 at 11:05 AM (edited) Hi ChTTay I'll email them (I found this email chinese@mail.tsinghua.edu.cn at http://www.tsinghua.edu.cn/publish/iclccen/5561/index.html) About the dorm, at least I want to try to book a room, but I'll search some information about living off campus Thanks! Edit: I've got an answer from the university about spring application schedule Quote The application time for 2019 Spring may be Oct.15, 2018 - 5pm, Nov. 30, 2018 (Beijing time) (check the website for updated info).

Hi Türkay Rose, I think you can pay their fee using any credit card (IRC it's about 400-500 RMB). Yeah, we can look for an apartment together, but first I'll try to book a room in THU.

Guest Posted October 15, 2018 at 08:30 PM Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 at 08:30 PM it seems like the application is not open yet ... Is this website where we have to do the online application? http://intlstudent.cic.tsinghua.edu.cn/app/account/login.html?preventCache=1539635335905 EDIT: Answer from Tsinghua Quote Please apply one week later. We are changing to a new application system, and now there is a bug. We are trying to solve it. Sorry about this. Please pay attention that the online application website will be changed to the new address. Please refer to the application guide that will be updated later.

Guest Posted October 19, 2018 at 03:47 PM Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 at 03:47 PM @Flickserve I don't have any university in mind. I contacted to BFSU and BLCU by email. Only BLCU answered. I asked them if I can apply for Chinese course (6 month or 1 year) being chinese citizen and they answered Quote Please find the BLCU programs at http://admission.blcu.edu.cn/en/2018/0914/c1218a1860/page.htm Please find the courses information about the programs on: Short term Chinese langauge program http://admission.blcu.edu.cn/en/74/list.htm 1 year Chinese language program http://admission.blcu.edu.cn/en/72/list.htm 1 year preparatory program http://admission.blcu.edu.cn/en/73/list.htm As to the levels of classes, since there will be classes for learners of varied Chinese proficiency in each non-degree program, and a class-placement test will be given to the students at the beginning of each program, you can simply choose a program that fits your own schedule the best and do not be concerned about your own Chinese level. If you only want to learn Chinese language, you can choose the 1 year Chinese language course. If you are preparing to go in to a B.A. course in China and want to learn some courses concerned about business besides Chinese langauge, you can choose the preparatory course. How to apply? (1) Apply for the program by BLCU online application system: http://lxs.blcu.edu.cn/StusSystem/ . or (2) Download the BLCU application form http://admission.blcu.edu.cn/en/xzzx/list.htm, and send us all application documents (list on the third page of the application form) together with the form by email. Application fee: Non-degree program: CNY 600, Degree program: CNY 800 You need to pay the application fee before you submit your application documents, because the application fee payment proof is one of the documents required. And you can pay the tuition when you arrive at the university. Normally it will take about 2-3 weeks to process one application; if you are accepted, we will mail you the admission notice and visa application form (JW202) by post to the address on your application form. When you receive the admission package, please contact accommodation office to book room if you need an on-campus room. More details please refer to http://admission.blcu.edu.cn/en/42/list.htm So I think they don't have any problem with chinese citizen applying for the course. I'll wait for the answer of BFSU and then i'll choose one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flickserve Posted October 19, 2018 at 03:56 PM Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 at 03:56 PM Good luck. Would love to have done something like this myself but really never had the opportunity. I envy you ☺️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 28, 2019 at 03:32 PM Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 at 03:32 PM Hi, No, I ended up in BLCU because tsinghua don't allow chinese student for chinese language program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted March 28, 2019 at 03:38 PM Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 at 03:38 PM We'd still be interested to hear about BLCU if you have the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 29, 2019 at 03:31 AM Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 at 03:31 AM Well, the application is easy through the website. Just fill the form and attach the files they request. If you get accepted, they will send you the details of the next step of registration and in campus accomodation if needed. NOTE: From the next semester (September), they'll no accept chinese citizen anymore, so I'm looking for another university :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members honneyhynne Posted April 18, 2020 at 04:46 PM New Members Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 at 04:46 PM I wonder if it is difficult to get acceptance for this program? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
