The UCD Confucius Institute launched its Leaving Certificate Chinese class on 16 October 2021 to 
support students ahead of the first Mandarin Chinese exam in 2022. Since then, the program has 
earned strong praise from students and parents, with hundreds participating and nearly all achieving 
H1 grades. 

Our classes are proudly presented with:  
1. Expert Guidance: UK IGCSE and A-Level examiners regularly consult with our team to shape teaching 
strategies and exam preparation plans. 
2. Professional teaching team: Our experienced teachers, most with over ten years of teaching, follow 
a syllabus aligned with the European Framework, the Irish Leaving Cert, and British GCSE standards. 
Lessons combine language and cultural activities to build students’ interest and overall Chinese 
proficiency. 
3. Research-Driven Teaching: Weekly team seminars support continuous improvement through 
shared teaching experiences, mock exam development, and evaluation standard setting.. 
4. Comprehensive Support: We offer teaching resources, mock exams, marking, feedback, and tailored 
support for Confucius Classrooms and other schools. 

We warmly welcome 5th and 6th year students preparing for the 2026 and 2027 Leaving Cert exams. 
Our high-quality preparation courses are designed to help you succeed.
