Course summary

Mandarin A level is also available for native speakers as a one-year course, which means that students can take the A level exam at the end of Year 12 (6b). They can certainly take it as a two-year course if they do not feel confident enough to do it in one year.

Entry requirements

Mandarin Chinese A level is open to students who have passed Mandarin GCSE with a good grade (grade 7 above) or have at least an equivalent level in Mandarin. The course is designed to enable students to develop an advanced level knowledge and understanding of the Chinese language, the culture of China, as well as practical and valuable language and transferable study skills.

How you'll be assessed

Students will learn four engaging themes in language alongside two works (either two literary texts or one literary text and one film) assessed through two externally examined papers (Papers 1 and 2) and one teacher-examiner conducted speaking assessment (Paper 3).
