Please note that the minimum size of the group is 5 students and if the group drops to less than 5 students during the course, the VU Confucius Institute is authorized to suspend courses until the minimum group size is reached. In this case, we encourage listeners to join other level groups. The VU Confucius Institute does not guarantee continuity of language teaching for the next trimester due to the drop in numbers.
The learner won't be refunded for missing one lesson. If, during the course, the course attendee misses more than one lesson and there is an important reason for that, like a change of residence (city or country) or serious illness, attendees bank account.
Normally courses take place at the Confucius Institute of Vilnius University, MK Čiurlionis str. 21, 2nd building, 2nd floor.
