NYU Shanghai offers two 6-week summer sessions and one 9-week Chinese language immersion program. Chinese language courses are offered in either a 6-week or 9-week format. The immersion program offers intermediate and advanced level courses. If you are a visiting student and unsure which level of Chinese to take, please follow the instructions on how to take a placement exam for Chinese.
If you are a matriculated undergraduate and have completed at least two semesters at an accredited institution, you are eligible and welcome to apply as a visiting student. Unfortunately, high school students are not eligible.
You can apply for the immersion program by following the designated application process. We require all students to apply by the listed deadline to ensure adequate time for visa processing, course enrollment, and preparation for your arrival to NYU Shanghai.
You are required to live in NYU Shanghai dormitory housing as a condition of the program. Housing is available only for the dates of the program and will cost an estimated RMB 16,920 (around US $2,450). More information about the exact housing costs and arrangements will be emailed to you in April.
