① Chinese is the only instruction language for undergraduate programs. Scholarship recipients of undergraduate programs must take preparatory courses in designated universities for one year and pass the required test before major studies. Failure to pass the required test leads to the automatic termination of their scholarship.

② Most graduate programs and non-degree programs are instructed in Chinese. Certain Chinese universities offer English-taught programs. Please check Directory of the Chinese Institutions Admitting International Students under Chinese Government Scholarship Program (www.csc.edu.cn/studyinchina or www.campuschina.org) for program introduction. Scholarship recipients of Chinese-taught programs without adequate Chinese language proficiency must take Chinese language training courses for one to two years to reach the language requirements of their host universities before major studies. Failure to reach the required language proficiency will lead to the termination of scholarship. Recipients in such programs as science, engineering, agriculture, west medicine, economics, management, law and arts will take Chinese courses for one year. Recipients in literature, history, philosophy and Chinese medicine will take Chinese courses for no more than two years. Recipients of English-taught programs or those with adequate Chinese language capability do not need to take Chinese language training courses.

12. Which Chinese universities offer Chinese Government Scholarship programs?

A total of 252 Chinese universities are designated by MOE to accept Chinese Government Scholarship students. Applicants can only choose their host universities from this list.

The admission result will be announced by the application receiving agencies in late July. Applicants can consult the application receiving agencies for admission result.

16. Why is the host university sometimes not the target university?

For the applicants without Admission Letter, CSC reserves the right to make necessary adjustments on the university options, specialties, program categories and duration of study based on the scholarship requirement of different countries, accepting capacity of universities, requirements of different programs and the qualification of applicants. That’s why some applicants are enrolled by a university beyond their application options.

17. How can I go to my host university that is not in Beijing?

CSC provides transfer service to new full scholarship students who have to make a stopover in Beijing to other cities during August 25th and September 15th.
