Honours

Honours level study is available in Chinese Studies. Students interested in Honours should refer to the Honours plan record for entry requirements.

Placement Information

Students will not be permitted to enrol in language courses that are too easy for them in terms of Chinese character knowledge. If this occurs, the School will request that students change their enrolment. The decision of the School is final. Please refer to the School Website for further information.

For students admitted in their first year of study to CHIN2006 or higher on the grounds of ability and/or previous study, such courses will be counted as Level 1 courses in terms of degree requirements.
