Universities where there is no Chinese language department. What language is taught at universities in China? Moscow State Linguistic University

The TOP 10 questions that clients ask us when planning to study at universities in China have long been compiled. We never sigh heavily and think about, well, when will everyone know the answers to such common questions, we again and again great pleasure and respond to them with enthusiasm, but at the same time we do not stand still, we develop, and therefore the need for working time increases. That is why we decided to write detailed reviews on the 10 most frequently asked questions.

The answers to many of them are in the ““ section, but the description there is short, but in this section “TOP 10 customer questions” we will answer each in detail, based not only on our experience in the market educational services, but also personal experience.

All questions in the section are listed below; the question discussed in this article is highlighted in bold. To go to a page with an answer to another question, click on it. We will write articles gradually, so if the link-question is not active, then we just wait, we will try to give answers as soon as possible, you will receive notifications of new publications by e-mail, to do this, subscribe to , if you have not done so before).

List of questions for a current applicant:

So, let's start with the first question, which of the TOP 10 listed above can be identified in the TOP 1 category.

What language is taught at universities in China?

This is the simplest, but at the same time the most common question. To make the unambiguous answer to this clear, let’s just think about it using an example. Universities in China offer programs in Chinese (in most cases) and in English (they are more expensive and require a certificate of language proficiency).

• We are not currently considering the second option, since in this case the language of instruction was initially stated to be English. No knowledge of Chinese is needed, you can learn it using at will, practicing on-site with native-speaking students. Teachers will also be native speakers or Chinese, but certified to teach subjects in English. English-speaking students most often come to these programs to study in their native language and receive a diploma from a Chinese university.
• What will happen in the first option? Let's imagine a group of 15 students, say specialty " International economics and trade" or the same long language courses. Composition of students: 3 Russians, 3 Indonesians, 3 Americans, 1 Japanese, 2 Kazakhs, 1 Italian, 1 African and 1 German. As you already understood, each student has his own native language and half of them may not speak any language other than their native one. So what language is taught at universities in China?

Of course, in Chinese! At the end of the course (bachelor's, master's, doctorate), each student must be proficient in Chinese maximum level HSK6 (this is a prerequisite for bachelor's, master's, and doctoral studies). This is only possible if you acquire knowledge in the language of the country of teaching. For admission to any specialty (except for such as “Chinese Language and Literature”, “Business Chinese” and the like, and not always) it is required First level HSK4. In the listed specialties or in language courses No knowledge of Chinese is required; you can come from scratch.

The first word of a teacher entering a group of new students is 你们好 (Nǐmen hǎo) or 大家好 (Dàjiā hǎo), which means “Hello!” and then exclusively Chinese speech begins to flow.

How do students who have not previously studied Chinese understand the teacher? This question worries everyone. The learning process is structured in such a way that after 2-3 weeks everyone understands the teacher’s speech by 60-70%, and this is quite enough, because the remaining 30-40% of misunderstanding gives an incentive to learn new words and look at the textbook more often.

In other words, today students have learned 10 new words, tomorrow the teacher uses these words in his speech as often as possible and gives 10 new words for tomorrow in addition to grammar, and so on. In just a month there will be 15 words a day, then 20, in one semester 30, in a year 50-60 new words a day plus, of course, writing these words in hieroglyphs. This suggests a simple conclusion - do homework. Those who treat remote learning carelessly begin to speak Chinese within a year, or even later.

Only full immersion into a language environment without any English and especially Russian, Spanish, French, etc. gives such quick results. You will begin to hear new words in dialogue with the teacher; on a subconscious level, the translation will already be in your head.

Some students are so outraged by the absence of the Russian language in the teaching process, but this is only before the start of the first lesson, because then everyone realizes the value of this moment and realizes it very quickly. The guys even argue and say that there are universities where they teach in Russian)) Yes, there are! These are often universities bordering Russia, for example in the city of Heihe. But let's think... We are sitting in a group with only Russian speakers, we hear such understandable and native speech, we leave lessons and hear it again and again (we chat with friends during breaks, go to eat together, go for a walk together, do homework, etc.). So what kind of progress are you looking forward to in mastering Chinese?

Do you know why students call us and say that they have been in Russia for three years!!! have been learning Chinese for years, but their level is HSK2? That is why. In China, while studying at a university, in three years you will have level 6, but not level two. And pay attention to foreigners (we exclude Russian speakers and a small part of English speakers), only it is customary for them to speak Chinese with each other, no matter how many words they know today; it is considered uncultured in another country to speak their native language, because others - then this speech is not understood.

They use gestures, grimaces, laughter, posing, but they speak as best they can. And it is foreigners who often make greater progress in mastering the language in the same period of time. English speakers allow themselves to communicate in English because they believe that their language is international and everyone should know it)), but this is not a pattern, but an exception, so knowledge of English, of course, will not harm, but not knowing will not put you in a stupid situation, because there is Chinese and now students from all countries of the world can understand each other. You can’t even imagine how interesting it is when you talk to the same Indian, and he understands you, you are friends, have common interests and at the same time... no English!

I won’t be mistaken if I say that the lessons are not complete without the English language. There are rarely moments when no one in the group understands the meaning of a word or phrase, then the teacher can give its translation into English, but with one great condition that he owns it. More often, knowledge is limited school level, so everything becomes clear to students. It is much easier for a teacher to give an explanation using gestures. In some universities, the use of English during lessons is strictly prohibited.

They teach Chinese in an exciting way, always with a smile on their face, interesting stories. When I was studying, at first I was very surprised at how imperceptibly the lesson time flew by, it seemed like we had just started and the bell was already ringing, then I realized that I got up early and went to class with great desire, there were no thoughts of skipping, or coming up with some reason for my absence. Not all students will have such attendance and desire and not all teachers will have fun in the lessons, but having worked with many universities in China and having visited open lessons In them, we can say with confidence that unsmiling and monotonous teachers are very, very rare. Don't think that having fun from the stands is relaxing, on the contrary, it keeps your attention throughout the lesson using the eye-to-eye method. We also analyzed underachieving students and came to one conclusion: these are people who were brought by their parents to China by force, due to fashion trends or the desire to quickly send them to independent life, or who came for any other purpose other than study.

I think I was able to answer the question stated at the beginning of the article. Do not be afraid Chinese language from the first day, this is an advantage, not a disadvantage, which you will fully experience in the first days of study.

On this page you will find more than 30 institutes foreign languages and faculties of foreign languages ​​in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities of Russia and neighboring countries. This will allow you to choose the language university that is most conveniently located and offers exactly the profile of language education that you need.

In terms of ratings and preferences, it is still believed that the most high level teaching language and translation at the Moscow State Linguistic University (formerly the Maurice Thorez Moscow State Linguistic University - Moscow Inyaz). Indeed, Inyazov’s traditions and methods remain. But Teaching Staff has changed a lot over the past 40 years. Teaching at a university, even one as seemingly elite as MSLU, has generally ceased to be prestigious and profitable.

Not to mention the fact that the former Inyaz itself has transformed in post-Soviet times from a fairly compact targeted university into a kind of all-encompassing monster, where they teach everything, not just languages ​​(the status of a “university” is obligatory). Such omnivorousness and universalism have both their pros and cons.

As for the level of training of specific students, it depends on your luck. Much will depend on the composition of teachers (and turnover is very high now: it doesn’t happen from year to year). And we must not forget that when teaching languages ​​and translation, 70-80% depends on the learner himself: on his efforts, on how much time and effort he spends on mastering the language.

Foreign language and translation are applied disciplines. No knowledge of theory will help here. You either know the language or you don’t. Therefore, the final criterion for the level of language knowledge acquired at a university will be practice. Even the best language knowledge acquired at the best specialized university will disappear in a year or two if it is not consolidated in practice. Yuri Novikov

There is an exchange of teachers and students, and there is the possibility of scientific internships. Teachers and scientists of the department are invited to universities in countries with which relevant cooperation agreements have been signed to work and give lectures.

In terms of education, China is a very promising destination. Its universities are included in the list of the 500 best universities in the world, and the specialists these universities produce are gladly hired by the most famous companies in Europe and the USA. Thanks to close cooperation between China and Russia, more than 10 thousand students from the Russian Federation are now studying in the Celestial Empire, for whom this is an excellent opportunity to receive quality education for a relatively small fee. What is remarkable about studying in China for Russians and what is necessary for admission?

Education system in China

On educational system the authorities allocate significant funds, and the result of this is a reduction in the number of illiterate citizens to 15% of general population. In its structure, the education system is not very different from most others: after kindergarten comes primary and high school, then full secondary, then special secondary and higher education. Students study at school for 12 years, but vocational education can be obtained after 9 years of study. Foreign students There are not many schools, and not all institutions accept them, but only the leading ones (key schools).

Find out the countries and programs for study from our new article -

The situation is completely different in Chinese universities: here the presence of students from other countries is a matter of prestige, and each university strives to attract maximum amount foreigners. To increase interest in entering Chinese universities, foreign students are given the opportunity to receive scholarships that allow them to cover a significant part of the costs while living in China:

• government scholarships - issued at accredited universities;
• university scholarships - allocated from the finances of the university itself to encourage the best students;
• scholarships from the mayor's office - are formed by municipalities to attract students from abroad.

Separately, it is worth mentioning the Confucius Institute scholarships - prestigious payments to those students who have achieved best results in the field of Chinese culture and language. These institutions operate in different countries, and in Russia alone there are more than 20 of them.

How is training for citizens of the Russian Federation conducted? Chinese universities enroll students twice a year. At the beginning of the first semester, groups are formed where, in addition to Russian speakers, there are students of various nationalities. Throughout the year, students practice writing hieroglyphs and speaking skills to such a level that from the second year they can fully communicate in Chinese and study a specialty. About 80% of students cope with this task, the rest continue to study the language for another year.

There are many universities that use programs in Chinese and English languages, which helps to quickly adapt to the country. In addition, leading universities attract foreign teachers, including from Russia. Of course, the main emphasis is still on the Chinese language, so most of the specialties are taught in it.

After a year of study, students take the HSK language exam, without which further study is impossible.

HSK - Chinese language exam

Those who pass the exam successfully have the right to choose a direction for further study. You will have to master your chosen specialty together with Chinese students, and it takes three (bachelor's) or four (master's) years.

Popular destinations

In China, Russians study the most various items, and each university offers a lot of in-demand specialties. A large percentage of students come to study the language, for an internship in cultural studies and oriental studies, about 10% study banking, 5-6% each study engineering and medical sciences. But the bulk are future specialists in the field of business administration and management. Only a few become Chinese teachers, since it is incredibly difficult to learn it perfectly, but such students are gladly hired as translators by reputable organizations after their return.

Today, higher educational institutions in China train specialists in more than 800 areas. Special attention is devoted to the development of technology and science, and technical specialties are in great demand. In general, according to exact sciences students from Chinese universities show the highest results, but due to the specifics of their studies, the number of representatives from Russia in this area is small.

Rules for admission to Chinese universities

It’s quite easy to enroll in China, but there is one caveat: if you don’t know Chinese at all, you should at least be fluent in English. Not every university can have Russian students, and in order to communicate with teachers and fellow students, knowledge of English will be very useful.

Step 1. To enroll, you first need to decide on an educational institution, contact the admissions committee via the Internet and clarify the list of documents. The standard list includes an application from the future student, a copy of the certificate, and a receipt for payment of the registration fee. The amount of the contribution depends on the chosen university and ranges from 50-100 dollars. Please note that if you do not enroll, this money will not be returned to you.

Step 2. The prepared documents are sent by express mail to the university (at electronic format documents will not be considered via the Internet).

To start studying from the first semester, that is, September 1, documents must be submitted in March-June; for the second semester they are submitted in October-December. After reviewing the application from admissions committee the candidate is sent:

• notification that the candidate has been enrolled;
• invitation to study;
• medical examination form.

Step 3. The next stage is preparing papers for a student visa. Citizens of the Russian Federation need to contact the Chinese Embassy, ​​which is located in the capital, or the Consulate General in St. Petersburg.

The visa is issued for the entire period of study, but upon arrival in China, you must complete all formalities with study and accommodation within a month, otherwise the permit will become invalid.

Step 4. During a personal visit to the university, you must present original documents and receive a schedule of entrance exams. There is little time to prepare, but most applicants do an excellent job.

Step 5. After successful completion exams, all that remains is to pay tuition fees and sort out housing. Dormitories are available for foreign students, and there is also the possibility of renting separate apartment. A hostel is much cheaper, moreover, it allows you to quickly adapt to an unfamiliar environment and improve your speaking skills, but the conditions in an apartment are more comfortable.

How to get a scholarship

Some types are available for Russian-speaking candidates government scholarship. To qualify for them, you must meet certain requirements, which differ slightly depending on the direction, specialty and the university itself. Each country has a quota set by the government, and with a large influx of students, the chances of receiving a scholarship are noticeably reduced.

You must apply for a scholarship before leaving for China. Such applications are accepted at the consular departments of the PRC from the beginning of January to the end of April, after which they are sent to the China Scholarship Council, a government organization that has the right to provide scholarships to students at universities.

Important! The China Scholarship Council may, at its discretion, change the major, the duration of study, even the university. Selected candidates must begin their studies only under the specified conditions, otherwise eligibility for the scholarship will be forfeited.

After reviewing the documents, the organization sends them along with a notification to the university, which, in turn, sends the package to the student.

Documents for applying for a scholarship

The scholarship can be awarded full or partial, at the discretion of the commission. The first option fully covers the costs and provides a one-time payment for arrangement. A partial scholarship is significantly less, so you will have to cover some expenses yourself.

Russian students also have a chance to receive a Confucius Institute scholarship. Its size is equal to a government scholarship, issued for a period of 1 month to 5 years - it depends on the program. Applications are accepted at the Headquarters of this institution; consideration lasts from March to the end of June.

List of documents for submission:

• statement;
• copy of diploma (certificate);
• copy of the passport;
• medical examination certificate;
• a certificate confirming your level of language proficiency.

Best Universities in China

There are many in China good universities, and not only in major cities, but also in the provinces. Level of education does not depend on geographic location educational institution, as well as living conditions for students. Below are the universities that are included in the list of the best in China and where they study greatest number Russian speaking students.

The attitude towards Russians in the PRC is very friendly, as well as towards other foreigners. Teachers pay maximum attention to their students, which sets them apart from teachers at European and American universities. But to achieve high results the student himself must apply all his diligence and devote all his free time.

Video - Study in China for Russians

In connection with the strengthening economic situation countries Far East and Russia's revision of its political guidelines, the demand for specialists with knowledge of Eastern languages ​​is steadily increasing in the labor market. Let's try to answer the question of where and how oriental languages ​​are studied in Moscow universities.

If an applicant has firmly decided not only to learn an Oriental language at one of the universities in Moscow, but also to acquire a deep knowledge of the culture of the country of the language being studied, then it is best to give preference to the specialty “Oriental and African Studies”. This specialty can be obtained only in five metropolitan universities:

*in four subjects

Prestigious: National Research University Higher School of Economics

The HSE Department of Oriental Studies, which from the current academic year separated from the Faculty of Philosophy and became part of the Faculty of Economics and World Politics, was opened in 2009. What makes this department especially interesting is that it not only fundamentally teaches oriental languages ​​and cultures, but also introduces students to the methods and ways of working in the countries of the East. Largely thanks to the business focus of the department, it managed to overtake passing score and the cost of training Mecca of orientalists of past years - the Institute of Asian and African Countries of Moscow State University.

Meanwhile, such a young department cannot boast of a rich selection of languages ​​offered for study. The four most popular directions are actively developing here: Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Arabic. The compulsory program includes the study of one Eastern language, however, from the second year (subject to good academic performance) as part of an elective, you can also begin to learn a second Eastern language. Whether it is possible to master two oriental languages ​​in just 4 years of study is up to the student to decide.

Fundamental: Moscow State University. M.V. Lomonosov

For an applicant who can boast of good language preparation, great results Unified State Examination, deep knowledge history (on it at the faculty they conduct additional entrance examination) and an unshakable desire to become an excellent orientalist, first of all you should try to enter the Institute of Asian and African Studies at Moscow State University. Here, ordinary schoolchildren are turned into specialists who not only have a perfect command of the Eastern language, but also understand the literature, history, culture, politics and economy of the country of the language being studied.

And, of course, not a single university in Moscow can compete with ISAA in the number of oriental languages ​​offered for studying. Thus, at the philological department of the faculty they are currently conducting educational activities eight departments:

• Arabic philology ( Arabic and its dialects);
• Japanese philology (Japanese language);
• Chinese philology (Chinese language);
• Iranian philology (Persian, Dari, Pashto and Tajik languages, as well as (additionally) Armenian and Georgian languages);
• Indian philology (Hindi, Urdu and Tamil languages);
• Turkic philology (Turkish, Turkmen and Uzbek languages);
• philology of Southeast Asian countries, Korea and Mongolia (Vietnamese, Korean, Indonesian, Malaysian, Filipino, Mongolian, Burmese, Khmer and Laotian-Thai languages);
• Western European languages ​​(specializes in teaching a second foreign language).

Entering the Institute of Asian and African Studies is no easier than entering other faculties of Moscow State University; studying is very difficult (especially if the applicant plans to study an oriental language from scratch). But after four years of sleepless nights and cramming Khuruf with hieroglyphs, the graduate will receive an invaluable store of knowledge, a coveted diploma and a flurry of interesting offers on the part of employers. By the way, you can study oriental languages ​​at this Moscow university on a contract basis: in 2014, the faculty allocated 41 contract places. However, as usual at Moscow State University, this will not be cheap: the cost of training in the 2014/15 academic year was 325,000 rubles.

Available: Moscow City Pedagogical University

MSPU is one of the most democratic universities in Moscow where you can study oriental languages. Thus, to be admitted to the budget in 2014 in the specialty “Oriental and African Studies” (profile “Languages ​​and Literatures of Asia and Africa - Chinese”), the applicant needed to score only 227 points on the Unified State Examination. And in the “Japanese language” profile - 235 points. For each direction, 10 budget and 10 extra-budgetary places are allocated.

Note that the “Translation and Translation Studies” profile (with the qualification of a linguist) is slightly more popular at this Moscow university. The passing score for the Chinese language department in 2014 was 247 points, and for the department Japanese language- 246 points. Each department accepts 5 students for budget places and 10 for non-budget places. However, the cost of training on a paid basis at the Institute of Foreign Languages ​​at Moscow State Pedagogical University is only 150,000 rubles per year, so even the points indicated above are not so critical.

Despite the fact that the departments of Chinese and Japanese languages ​​in the Moscow City pedagogical university were opened only in 2006, they managed to establish the international cooperation and organize free internships for students in the country of the language being studied. This is especially true for the Chinese language department, from which more than 20 students go to China every year for a year or semester. In addition, the university employs native speaking teachers.

For students studying oriental languages ​​at this Moscow university, it is also mandatory to study English as a second foreign language. In addition, there is the opportunity to study another European language for a fee. One of the significant disadvantages for nonresident students is that there is no dormitory at MSPU.

Unstable: Russian State Humanitarian University

At the Russian State Humanitarian University, you can master the specialty “Oriental and African Studies” at two faculties at once: at the Institute of Oriental Cultures and Antiquity, as well as at the Faculty of History, Political Science and Law of the Historical and Archival Institute of the Russian State Humanitarian University. At the same time, both departments of the university have significantly lost their positions this year. If in 2013, to enter the specified specialty, it was necessary to score 257 points according to three Unified State Examination results, then in 2014 - only 219.

The Department of Modern East of the Faculty of History, Political Science and Law implements curriculum in five areas: Arabic studies, Chinese studies, Iranian studies, Turkic studies and Japanese studies. However, the main languages ​​for teaching are only Arabic and Chinese. At the same time, teaching Chinese at the Russian State University for the Humanities will cost 190,000 rubles per year, which is 20,000 more than when specializing in other oriental languages.

The Institute of Oriental Cultures and Antiquity has three departments where oriental languages ​​are taught:

• Department of History and Philology Ancient East(Arabic and Persian languages);
• Department of History and Philology of Southern and Central Asia(Sanskrit, Hindi, Urdu, Persian, Tamil, Mongolian, Tibetan, Turkish and Kazakh languages);
• Department of History and Philology of the Far East (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and Laotian-Thai languages).

However, it is worth considering that in conditions when the faculty allocates only 15 budget places for the specialty “Oriental and African Studies”, in reality it will be almost impossible to choose, for example, Tibetan as a first language. And the opportunity to specialize in “History and Philology of Thailand and Laos” is provided only on a contractual basis. In other words, if an applicant definitely wants to study a rare oriental language, then the only university in Moscow that is ready to guarantee such an opportunity is the Institute of Asian and African Studies of Moscow State University.

Miniature: State Academic University of Humanities under the Russian Academy of Sciences

Despite the fact that GAUGN is the only university in Russia that was founded on the basis of the Russian Academy of Sciences, its popularity is not so high. The university has very few budget places (and for the specialty “Oriental and African Studies” there are none at all), there is no dormitory, academic buildings are situated in different areas Moscow and, as a result, there are few students at the university, and most of them have very modest Unified State Exam results. Thus, in 2014, only 5 students were enrolled in the GAUGN specialty “Oriental and African Studies”, four of whom had Unified State Examination results below 200.

The same significant drawback The main thing about teaching oriental languages ​​at this Moscow university is that no one here specializes in languages ​​themselves. Orientalists are trained here at the department of philosophical and political thought of the East, which has a very, very indirect relationship to philology.

The second option to study oriental languages ​​at Moscow universities is to study to become a philologist, linguist, translator or teacher. This opportunity is provided by a number of educational institutions in the capital. Among those universities that were not described above, it is worth highlighting:

Moscow State Linguistic University

At the Department of Oriental Languages ​​of the Faculty of Translation of Moscow State Linguistic University you can learn Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Turkish, Persian and Korean languages. At this Moscow university, 110 budget places are allocated for the direction of “Translation and Translation Studies” (for all languages, including European). The passing score in 2014 was 237 points, training is carried out only on a budget. It is interesting that this educational institution accepts Unified State Exam results not only in the usual English, German and French, but also in Spanish.

Naturally, in a language university with such rich history and a good reputation, you can count on deep and comprehensive language teaching. The department cooperates with many educational institutions in Turkey, Japan, China, Korea and some Arab countries, so excellent students are sometimes sent on free internships. The duration of study at the faculty is 5 years (specialist qualification).

Moscow Pedagogical State University

At the Faculty of Philology of Moscow State Pedagogical University you can get Teacher Education with two profiles at once - Russian and foreign (Chinese) language. In other words, a graduate of this department will be able to teach Russian and Chinese. In 2014, the university allocated 20 budget places for this specialty, and the passing score was 228 points. The cost of training on a commercial basis is only 115,000 rubles per year. The duration of training, despite the fact that the graduate is awarded a bachelor's degree, is 5 years.

Peoples' Friendship University of Russia

IN Russian University Friendship of Peoples, oriental languages ​​can only be studied in additional professional education programs (Arabic, Chinese and Persian languages), as well as in master's programs as a second foreign language (Chinese only).

Some non-state universities in Moscow also specialize in teaching oriental languages, for example:

This commercial linguistic university in Moscow allows students to learn the most popular oriental languages: Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Indonesian, Arabic, Turkish, Hindi and Farsi. In addition, it is mandatory to study English as a second foreign language. And although the cost of studying at the Institute of Oriental Studies is quite high for a non-state university - in 2014 for a full-time course it was 174,000 rubles for 2 semesters (duration of study 4 years) - the quality of education deserves it. The fact is that the university operates on the basis of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences. And graduates are given a diploma with the assignment of a very prestigious specialty “Linguist”.

The demand for the educational institution is also indicated by the rather high Unified State Exam score of students who entered the Institute of Oriental Studies in 2014: for many it is above 200, and the score of some students would allow them to study Oriental languages ​​in pedagogical universities Moscow or Russian State University for the Humanities budgetary basis. In 2015, the institute plans to enroll 23 students in the first year of the linguistic faculty.

International Independent Ecological and Political Science University

This non-state university in Moscow is implementing a joint Russian-Chinese program with the Qingdao University of Technology and Science. After successfully completing the program, which takes 5 years, graduates are awarded a Chinese bachelor's degree international standard. Moreover, the first year of study takes place in Russia, and the next four years - in China.

Students have the opportunity to choose one of three specialties:

• international management (management and economics);
• international law (jurisprudence);
• protection environment(ecology and environmental management).

The cost of training is 150,000 rubles per year in Russia and 79,700 rubles per year in China. Admission is based on test results (USE results are not required).
