For students who have not studied language at UWA or at WACE level and are not sure what language unit will suit their skill level, please seek assessment as follows:
| Language | Unit | Instruction |
|---|---|---|
| Chinese | CHIN |
You are required to complete a Language Placement Test to determine which unit is suitable for your language skill level.
See Chinese Placement Test for more information.
Chinese majors start in Semester 1. CHIN1401 Chinese 1 only runs in Semester 1. Semester 2 For students who have some Chinese language background and are seeking to complete an elective and/or a major variation commencing midyear, please contact: |
