Do I need to cross-enrol if I choose Mandarin as my study area?

QUT teaches Mandarin subjects on Gardens Point campus for students commencing their study at beginner or intermediate level.

The Mandarin program also offers two subjects for native, dialect or background speakers of Chinese.

Access unit synopses for Mandarin subjects

QUT students will be unable to enrol in Chinese subjects offered by UQ or Griffith, which are deemed equivalent to subjects taught by QUT.

If you are able to study Mandarin subjects offered by QUT, you are not required to apply for cross-institutional enrolment and should enrol through your Study Plan in eStudent (accessible via QUT Virtual).

If you have undertaken prior language study or have knowledge of the language, you may be unable to enrol in Mandarin subjects offered by QUT.

If you have prior knowledge of Mandarin, you must undertake a placement interview with QUT's Mandarin Coordinator for advice on your enrolment - see step 3.

If you are advised that the subjects offered by QUT are not appropriate for your proficiency/ability level, you may enrol in advanced Chinese subjects at UQ or Griffith, as a cross-institutional student through the Language Alliance (BULA).
