IMPORTANT NOTICE ON COVID-19 CONTAINMENT MEASURES
Since Feb. 2023, most previous entry bans on international students to China have been lifted. We are thrilled to announce that the admitted students of the Chinese Preparatory Program of 2024 are going to have offline classes on campus next September. For the visa application details, please check the Orientation & Arrival Column or consult overseas Chinese embassies and consulates.
Though most mandatory containment measures have been removed, we advocate a culture of shared responsibility that everyone has to take action to protect himself and others. It is the responsibility of every NUFE student to take public health measures and personal behavioral modifications, including but not limited to signing behavioral agreements, getting vaccinated, getting quarantined, virus screening, wearing masks, physical distancing, keeping hygiene, daily health check, avoiding non-essential trips and campus de-densification.
PROGRAM PROFILE
The Chinese Preparatory Program (1+4 Program) is NUFE's flagship program offered to international applicants, which combines a one-year intensive Chinese language preparatory program and a four-year Bachelor's Degree program instructed in Chinese. This program is designed for overseas high school graduates or undergraduates who would like to learn the Chinese language and a business-related Bachelor's Degree program instructed in Chinese. International students are scheduled to take intensive Chinese training in one academic year and are required to pass the HSK-4 test. Having passed the interview and comprehensive selection organized by NUFE, qualified graduates can enter their preferred Bachelor's Degree programs for further study.
For eligible graduates, available Bachelor's Degree programs are listed below:
We are pleased to announce that a new Bachelor's Degree Program -- Business Administration instructed in English (BBA) is a new option for the Chinese Preparatory Program graduates! The BBA program is taught in English, so the HSK level is not mandatory for the graduates. But we suggest the graduates who would like to join in the scholarship competition pass HSK tests like others, as the HSK scores play an important part in scholarship assessment.
The availability of Bachelor's Degree programs is subject to change without notice.

The one-year Chinese preparatory language program starts in September 2024 and ends in June 2025. Qualified graduates are allowed to enter their Bachelor's Degree programs which start in September 2025, and some selected graduates will take 2nd-year of language training.
