The ‘Chinese Bridge’ Chinese Proficiency Competition for Foreign College Students is a large-scale international contest organised by the Centre for Language Education and Cooperation of the Chinese Ministry of Education. Since its launch in 2002, this annual event has attracted more than 800,000 college students from over 126 countries to participate, of which more than 4,200 have been invited to China to attend the semi-finals and finals. The ‘Chinese Bridge’ has become an important platform for international college students to learn more about the Chinese language and culture. It is also a bridge of understanding that links China to young people worldwide.
In addition to testing language proficiency, the competition test knowledge of China, cultural skills, and comprehensive learning abilities in the format of speeches, quizzes, artistic performances and video makings.
The 2023 Chinese Bridge Competition for UK university students will take place in London on Saturday, 24 June 2023.
We want to invite our talented students from the University of Edinburgh to participate in this global competition. If you are interested in taking part or require further information, we are running an online briefing session on Wednesday, 29 March, at 12:00 pm – 13:00 pm, please contact us by email info@confuciusinstitute.ac.uk before 29 March 2023 to book.
