All Chinese courses are open to all Aalto students. You should take the courses in numerical order.
Please note that the course LC-9000 Introduction to Chinese Culture is a culture-themed course, not a language course and therefore does not require any prior Chinese studies.
The courses fulfilling the foreign language requirements set for the degrees in technology have been marked with (o) = oral skills (w) = written skills or (o, w) for both.
