Official Announcement for the Chinese Language Proficiency Test (HSK) on June 12, 2022

What is HSK?

HSK (Hànyǔ Shuǐpíng Kǎoshì) is the international standardized test for assessing the Chinese language proficiency of non-native speakers in everyday, academic, and professional contexts. It consists of 9 levels, starting from the basic level HSK1.

HSK is useful and necessary because:

  • It provides the necessary qualifications for foreign students in China.

  • It provides opportunities to participate in the Confucius China Study Program with scholarships for doctoral studies.
