Comprehensive Mandarin

Our Comprehensive Mandarin series caters for students of all abilities who wish to develop all four skills, ie reading, writing, speaking and listening.

The series is divided into eight consecutive levels designed to take learners from a beginner to a post-intermediate stage over eight terms.

You will be expected to commit to 4-8 hours for self-study each week to ensure you can follow the pace of the course.

Once you've read the course descriptions, find out how to enrol. If you're unsure which level is right for you, email confucius@manchester.ac.uk to arrange a free consultation.
