Why Learn Chinese?
Learning Chinese opens the door to one of the world’s oldest and most dynamic cultures. In our courses, you’ll practice speaking, listening, reading, and writing in a practical way, so you can immediately apply what you’ve learned—whether while traveling, pursuing your studies, or interacting with Chinese business partners.
As the language spoken in China and in one of the world’s most important economic regions, Chinese also offers valuable advantages for your studies, research, and career. You’ll strengthen your intercultural competence and broaden your personal and professional horizons in the long term.
Registration and Deregistration
Registration for our Chinese course in the 2026/27 winter semester takes place via unisono and is open during the first and second registration periods:
Registration Phase 1: August 17 – September 6, 2026
Registration Phase 2: September 21 – October 4, 2026
If you are unable to attend a course after all, you can drop the course via unisono from September 7 through September 20, 2026. After this date, please send an email to sprachenzentrum@spz.uni-siegen.de to drop the course.
Placement Test
If you have not taken a Chinese course at the Language Center in the past two semesters, please register for a Chinese course (“course of choice”) via unisono during the registration periods.
You should select your preferred course based on your personal assessment using the self-assessment grid of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
If you have valid proof or a valid certificate of your language proficiency, a placement test is not required.
So many international students are studying at Chinese universities.
More than 500 Confucius Institutes around the world promote the Chinese language and culture.
That is how many characters the Chinese writing system contains.
More than 30 university language centers offer regular Chinese courses.
