Chinese
With the importance of Chinese-speaking regional alliances in world affairs, there is an urgency in the U.S. for students to learn Chinese and gain work experience using their language skills. MISTI early on recognized this urgency and provides qualified MIT students with internship opportunities in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore.
Notes from the Field
Learn Chinese at MIT
If you are planning to study Chinese, MIT offers a variety of resources to help.
Learn more about MISTI's offerings in Chinese-speaking countries:
MIT-China: (mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan)
MIT-CETI (MIT-China’s team educational technology program)
MISTI internship programs in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan require four semesters of university-level Chinese courses or equivalent proficiency. Contact MIT Global Studies and Languages to determine which course is appropriate for your Chinese language level.
The MIT-China Educational Technology Initiative prefers applicants who speak Chinese or are studying the language.
Students interning in Singapore are highly encouraged to study Chinese but the language is not a requirement for students to participate in the program.
