Placement Procedure

Who must take a placement test?

• If you have never learned any Chinese, you clearly do not have to take a placement test. Your only booking option then is an A1.1 course.
• If you have learned some Chinese in the past, a placement test is mandatory. The result will indicate at which level you can continue at the Language Center.
• Exception: Students who have successfully completed a Chinese course at the Language Center in the previous semester can book a class on the next level without an additional test (follow-up registration). However, this is limited to a certain period of time, as specified in the email notifications sent out to those eligible for follow-up registration.
