Chinese Proficiency Test (HSK), an international standardized test of Chinese language proficiency, assesses non-native Chinese speakers’ abilities in using the Chinese language in their daily, academic and professional lives.

Our HSK test centre currently offers HSK (Chinese Proficiency Test) Level 1 to Level 9 exams, as well as HSKK (Chinese Speaking Test) at the basic, intermediate, and advanced levels. Please note that the HSK Level 7-9 test is administered as a single exam with the same test paper, and candidates are graded according to their scores.

To promote cooperative development of overseas Chinese tests, Confucius Institute Headquarters (Centre for Language Education and Cooperation) provide certification services for overseas Chinese tests. We welcome our students to take the test for their educational and professional goals.

Should you be planning to take the test in 2025, please see link to Registration Form https://confuciusinstitute.site.hw.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2025/07/HSKRegistrationGuidance.pdf
