Ideally, you should have some basic knowledge of Chinese (Mandarin), although if you are a competent linguist and are willing to dedicate sufficient time (approximately 4 to 5 hours per week), then you could start from scratch.
The full (25-week) intensive Chinese course is accredited at 20 SCQF credits, however the 10-week revision course is not, although you will achieve a standard equivalent to a Scottish Higher. If you complete either course satisfactorily you will receive a Certificate of Course Completion.
