Shanghai International Studies University (SISU) was founded in December 1949 as the first foreign-language institution established after the founding of the People's Republic of China. A Ministry of Education–directly-affiliated, Double First-Class (and "211") national university, SISU teaches 49 languages and is consistently rated A+ (tied #1 in China) in Foreign Languages and Literature. With campuses in Hongkou (downtown) and Songjiang (undergraduate), it is a natural home for future interpreters, translators, diplomats and area-studies specialists, and hosts an active community of international students from around the world.

SISU suits: language lovers and aspiring interpreters/translators; future diplomats and international-relations specialists; area-studies, journalism and China-studies students; and business students who want a language edge. Its focused, international community is ideal for serious language immersion and for building a China-global career bridge.

Chinese language (degree & non-degree): Chinese-language study (汉语进修 / 汉语言本科) is open to international students, with year-by-year progression tied to HSK. 
Bachelor's: foreign languages and literature, translation & interpretation, international relations, business, and journalism. 
Master's / PhD: interpretation & translation, area studies, international relations and China studies stand out. 
Non-degree & short-term: SISU runs summer/winter and Chinese-language programs that are perfect for a first taste of study in China.

汉语（学历 / 非学历）：汉语进修与汉语言本科面向国际学生开放，可按 HSK 水平逐年进阶。
本科：外国语言文学、翻译、国际关系、商科、新闻等。
硕士 / 博士：口笔译、区域研究、国际关系与"中国研究"尤为突出。
非学历与短期项目：上外开设暑期/寒假及汉语项目，非常适合作为"来华留学初体验"。

For Chinese-taught degree programs, a common baseline is HSK 4 for Chinese-language majors and HSK 5 for most other programs; exact score cutoffs are set by the official annual admissions guide. English-taught programs let you substitute an English proficiency certificate (e.g. IELTS / TOEFL) for HSK. Zero-HSK beginners can start in non-degree Chinese-language study and progress. Apply through SISU's international admissions portal.

中文授课学历项目，常见基线为汉语言等专业 HSK4、其他多数专业 HSK5，具体分数以当年官方招生简章为准。英文授课项目可用英语水平证明（如 IELTS / TOEFL）替代 HSK。零基础者可从非学历汉语进修起步、逐步进阶。申请通过上外国际招生系统提交。

About HSK 3.0: the new standard uses "three tiers, nine levels" (Level 1-3 beginner / 4-6 intermediate / 7-9 advanced). Most programs still publish requirements in the legacy HSK scale; if a program references the new HSK 7-9, it generally maps to the former HSK 6. Always confirm which level and which HSK version your target program expects. For exact cutoffs, program lists, and deadlines, 建议与 Origineduglob 的留学顾问联系.

HSK 3.0 背景提示：新版 HSK 采用"三等九级"（初级 1-3 / 中级 4-6 / 高级 7-9）。多数专业目前仍以旧版 HSK 等级发布要求；若某专业采用新版 HSK7-9，通常对应原 HSK6。请务必向目标专业确认所需等级与 HSK 版本。具体的分数线、可申请专业清单、截止日期，建议与 Origineduglob 的留学顾问联系确认。

Shanghai offers unmatched exposure to international business, diplomacy and media — but at China's highest living costs. SISU's Songjiang campus is a green, self-contained university town on Metro Line 9; the Hongkou campus places you in the city's north-center, close to the Bund and language-rich cultural life.

Options include the Chinese Government Scholarship (CSC), the Shanghai Municipal Government Scholarship for International Students, SISU's own international-student scholarships, and the International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship (well-suited to future Chinese-language teachers). Shanghai has multiple authorized HSK test centres, so you can prepare and sit the exam locally.

可选 中国政府奖学金（CSC）、上海市外国留学生政府奖学金、上外校内奖学金，以及国际中文教师奖学金（非常适合未来的汉语教师）。上海设有多个 HSK 授权考点，可就地备考。
