Two. Pass HSK (Chinese Proficiency Test) To Study In China
1. What is HSK
The Chinese Proficiency Test (HSK) is an international standardized test for Chinese language proficiency established to test the Chinese proficiency of non-native Chinese speakers (including foreigners, overseas Chinese, ethnic Chinese, and Chinese minority candidates). Level 6 is the highest level of the New Chinese Proficiency Test HSK. Candidates who pass HSK Level 6 can easily understand the Chinese information they hear or read, and express their opinions fluently in Chinese in oral or written form.
The Chinese Proficiency Test was designed and developed by Hanban and the Confucius Institute Headquarters. Hanban is a public institution directly under the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China. Hanban develops and implements Chinese Proficiency Tests, including basic Chinese proficiency test [HSK (basic) for short], elementary and intermediate Chinese proficiency test [abbreviated as HSK (elementary and intermediate), and advanced Chinese proficiency test [abbreviated as HSK (higher) )]. HSK is regularly held in China and overseas every year. Those who meet the prescribed standards in the test can obtain the "Chinese Proficiency Certificate" of the corresponding level. The Ministry of Education of China has established the National Chinese Proficiency Test Committee, which has full authority to lead the Chinese Proficiency Test and issue Chinese Proficiency Certificates.

China maintains its status as the largest destination country for studying abroad in Asia. More and more international students come to China to study academic courses, and the proportion of academic students and postgraduates has doubled. "The total number of degree students is 258,100, accounting for 52.44% of the total number of international students in China, a year-on-year increase of 6.86%; the number of graduate students reached 85,000, an increase of 12.28% over 2017.
In addition to the scholarship policy, my country has gradually improved policies and regulations from enrollment, teaching, management, service to employment, and formed a relatively complete system of policies and regulations.
The state has successively promulgated the "Administrative Regulations on the Enrollment and Training of International Students in Schools", which clarifies the conditions for enrollment and training of international students, and also clarifies the management responsibilities of schools and various departments, providing a legal basis for further standardizing management.
The Ministry of Education, in conjunction with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, issued the "Notice on Matters concerning Allowing Outstanding Foreign College Graduates to Work in China" at the beginning of 2017 to provide convenience for international students and further enhance the attractiveness of studying in China.
