8 questions

Scholarships

We assist with the Chinese Government Scholarship (CSC), Confucius Institute Scholarship, provincial scholarships and individual university scholarships, depending on your profile and programme.

Costs

No. China is one of the most affordable study destinations. Tuition is low compared to Western countries, and many students study on full or partial scholarships such as CSC, which can cover tuition, accommodation and a monthly stipend.

Language

Not always. 60 of the 72 programmes in our current list are taught in English. Chinese-taught programmes ask for an HSK certificate (usually HSK 4 or 5) - and we help you prepare. Basic Chinese still makes daily life much easier.

Visa

Yes. After your admission letter and JW202/JW201 form, we prepare your complete X1/X2 student visa application and guide you through the entire process.

Student life

Yes. China is considered very safe, with modern campuses, good public transport and large, welcoming international student communities in most major cities.

Process

It varies by university and intake, but typically the admission process takes 4-10 weeks. Most September-intake deadlines in our list fall in May and June, so applying early is very important.

Generally: passport (valid 2+ years), academic certificates and transcripts, a study plan or personal statement, recommendation letters, a medical examination form, a police character certificate and passport-size photos. We give you a personalised checklist.
