PLEASE NOTE:
Although all courses will be taught in English, the value of knowing some Chinese can never be underestimated.
As this programme only lasts for one year it is not feasible for CESL to offer one course on Chinese that would satisfy each student's individual requirements. CESL recommends that international students start to study Chinese as soon as possible and will help students to find language exchange partners after their arrival.
CESL carefully evaluates each applicant based on the application materials submitted. CESL does not hold an entrance examination for international students. However, CESL may conduct interviews by telephone, with alumni, or use other ways thought necessary to assess potential candidates.
Admission to CESL is based on merit. Thus it is recommended and encouraged that all applicants provide CESL with any materials that can demonstrate their achievements.
It is one of CESL's aims to achieve a student body of geographical, cultural and ethnic diversity through its admissions policy.
Application Deadline: 18 April 2011
Open to International Applicants: Yes
