What Can I Do with a HSK Certificate?

Whatever your HSK related goal is, whether it is studying at a top Chinese university with a scholarship, finding a more effective tool to measure your Chinese proficiency level, traveling, working or doing business in China, having a HSK certificate will surely help you attain it. Here are some potential benefits.

  • Proof of achieving the actual Chinese level required to enter Chinese colleges and universities to study majors or apply for graduate studies. If you’re interested in attending a Chinese school, an HSK score is mandatory, especially for the most prestigious universities in China, such as Peking University (北京大学) and Tsinghua University (清华大学).

  • Attesting that fluency in Chinese reaches a certain level or can be used to exempt the student from a corresponding Chinese course.

  • As a basis for evaluating the Chinese proficiency of the organization when hiring personnel. In reality, many Chinese companies won’t bother to ask for the HSK certificate because it’s very easy to tell if a person can truly communicate in Chinese or not.
