LCR subjects for NCS students

Language & Communication Requirements (LCR) aims to help students become effective communicators by developing their language competence for academic and professional needs. All students are required to take 9 credits of LCR subjects, including English (6 credits) and Chinese (3 credits).

Depending on NCS students’ language background and relevant Chinese learning and assessment records, one subject below will be pre-assigned to each student as Chinese LCR.  In addition, a placement test will be conducted at the beginning of each semester to determine the final assignment of Chinese LCR subject.
