The Chinese Language Preparatory Teaching is a Chinese language teaching program for international students who plan professional study in China’s higher education institutions, which is carried out during February-June (spring semester) and September-January (autumn semester) each year in order to improve the Chinese language competence of international students coming to China and increase their understanding of the Chinese culture, so that their Chinese language proficiency and Chinese cultural awareness could meet the basic standard required in the entry of Chinese higher education institutions for academic study.

The Chinese Language Preparatory Teaching is carried out in form of intensive education, with one academic year, or two semesters of intensive study. Elementary Chinese courses are taught in the first semester, consisting of 16 weeks, with 20 class hour for each week.

Grading System

(1) The Chinese Credits System used by USST is based on the class instruction time for subjects. In USST, one academic year consists of two semesters, the total number of weeks of instruction in a semester is 16.

(2) 1 WHS (weekly hour per semester) = 45 minutes of class instruction multiplied by 16.

1 academic hour = 45 minutes；1 credit = 16 hours workload of classes

(3) Type of Course. The score of the examination courses is graded in a hundred-mark system, courses with no examination will be evaluated with Grades instead of score.

(4) Special System in SBC

The Sino-British College (SBC) is an international university college jointly established by University of Shanghai for Science & Technology (USST) and 9 leading British Universities. SBC offers UK undergraduate degree credits and the full degree programs taught entirely in English.

Courses in English

The list of courses may change by the beginning of the semester due to unforeseen circumstances and mostly because of timetables, which are not ready when the courses are offered. Timetables will be available when you arrive. Make changes are allowed in your Learning Agreement once you have arrived. The courses will be more or less the same as last year, but make sure that the list is not 100% the same. You can find the previous course list here for reference.

NB.

Only exchange student from partner universities can apply for internship in China; free-movers do not have the qualification. When internship in USST is over, you may get the credit points required for your internship at your home university. The internship has to be part of your studies. Internships are generally not paid in China.
