Chinese
欢迎你们来到中文组！
Chinese languages are spoken by 1.3 billion people, the majority of whom live in the People's Republic of China or in Taiwan. The variety taught at TUM, known as Standard Chinese or Mandarin, boasts the most speakers.
We offer Chinese courses from level A1.1 to B2.1 following the CEFR.
There are also courses on special topics, for specific target groups or to improve certain skills, such as 'Chinese for English Speakers' (various levels) or 'Chinese A2.1 Communication at Work'.
Not every course may be offered every semester.
Please determine your course level by taking our placement test.
Intensive courses (course levels may vary) take place during the semester break in spring and fall.
The intensive courses take place over a shorter period of time, but have more training units per week than the courses during the semester. The number of ECTS and the workload is therefore the same as for the semester-long courses.
Current dates and registration deadlines can be found on our homepage.
You can find a complete overview of our course program in TUMonline.

The aim of the program is to deepen the close cooperation between TUM and Tsinghua SIGS, as well as offering students from both sides a platform for intercultural exchange and foreign language learning opportunities. We bring together TUM students of Chinese level A1.2/A2.1 and students of Tsinghua SIGS as language tandem partners.
Registration: TUM students register for a Chinese course on level A1.2 or A2.1 to participate in the program.
