Language Centre's Programmes in Chinese Language

By selecting a degree programme you are able to see the general content as well as the possible degree programme-specific content. You do not have to select a degree programme to see the Open University's instructions.

The minimum requirement to complete a programme in Chinese language is 15 or 25 credits. You must specify the intended scope of the programme in your personal study plan (PSP). Often the Language Centre Programme in Chinese Language can be included in the optional studies of your degree. However, always check the applicability from your degree programme. More information about the Language Centre programmes can be found on the page Language Centre programmes in languages as optional studies.
