A prerequisite for successful studies is good organization. The Central Student Advisory Service will inform you about the structure and course of studies in general. The matriculation regulations and the study and examination regulations regulate basic matters of your degree programme. 

The Chinese Studies student advisor of can help you with questions concerning, for example, problems with course attendance, questions concerning study abroad, internships, or the credit point transfers. You can use the following contact options:

Declaration of authorship for theses
On the last page of your Bachelor's or Master's thesis, you must attach a declaration in which you confirm that you have completed the work independently. If you do not attach the declaration, the thesis is considered not submitted.

Declaration on the storage of archival copies
If possible, we would like to keep a copy of each thesis. If you agree to this, please complete the declaration on the storage of archival copies.

The assessment of your Chinese level is done through a “Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi” (HSK) test. This central, standardized test of Chinese as a foreign language determines your language proficiency level. To have the result recognized for the module “Language Study Abroad” (03-SIN-0305), please hand in a copy of your HSK certificate with your matriculation number to our secretary's office.
Dates of and Information on the HSK test

For the crediting of other classes completed abroad you need the proof of enrolment and the grade earned, which you should also hand in at the secretary's office. 

Language study abroad can be replaced by an internship. Internships must be organized independently and must take place during the semester break. Sometimes it is difficult to find ideas for a suitable internship. Our student advisor provides you with announcements of current internship opportunities on our information board in the institute.
