Connecting You To China, Language Learning And Cross-Cultural Tourism
The Tourism Confucius Institute is the world’s first and only Confucius Institute with an emphasis on tourism.
We offer a range of exciting short courses for government, industry and the wider community to promote Chinese learning, as well as a better understanding of Chinese people and their culture.
Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced learner, you can choose from our popular courses, including General Chinese, Tourism Chinese and Business Chinese.
If you are interested in enrolling in an online class please contact us for more information.
Griffith staff and the current PhD students can enrol in any scheduled Tourism Confucius Institute Group course free of charge. Contact us to register. We also will be offering after-school classes, programs for school students and test preparation workshops for Chinese proficiency exams(HSK) when it has been deemed prudent to do so. Please note that the HSK tests have been updated. Enquiries regarding eligibility, test dates and registration, please contact us.
The Tourism Confucius Institute is not involved in teaching or curriculum design for any University undergraduate or postgraduate degrees.
The Institute also plays no role in commissioning research.
Our teaching activities are done under the direction of a senior Griffith academic and, in many cases, in partnership with community organisations.
The Tourism Confucius Institute is a partnership with China University of Mining and Technology in China.
