In this year's programme, we will provide students with the two options in Beijing Normal University.

Option 1: Warwick student Group. They will learn Warwick Chinese 3 syllabus in Beijing Normal University, and come to do Chinese 4 back in Warwick. The students of current Chinese 2 and Beginners Accelerated classes should ideally take this opportunity to enhance their Chinese learning.If you are currently a first year student in Warwick, attending this group will enable you to accomplish your degree with an advance level of Chinese (Chinese 5) upon graduation. The class size is 12 minimum in order to run it.

Option 2: Non-Warwick student group. They will join BNU’s short-term summer courses with students from other countries, after being assigned to a class suitable for your level there. You will be learning BNU’s syllabus and be assessed afresh to a Chinese class back in Warwick.
