We are offering courses in Business Chinese. The courses are practically oriented with Chinese that can be used in a job situation. The courses will provide students with language skills to be prepared for a wide range of business situations.
More and more companies are taking the growing Chinese market seriously by, among other things, using Chinese in advertising, on websites, signage and product information. But this increase also places demands on us: we must understand enough of Chinese culture to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings. In a collection-based program, we teach you basic knowledge of Chinese culture, language, culture and etiquette. Chinese cultural knowledge is an important factor for Norwegian companies to succeed in capturing larger parts of the Chinese market.
