Reflecting the increasingly important role played in the global arena, China has now become the destination of choice for an increasing number of international students, who consider China’s rich history and vibrant culture. Over 400,000 international students from over 180 countries come to study in China yearly.

Most of the international students in China would keep an eye on the unique travel and exploration opportunities, affordability of the Chinese higher education, the employment advantages posed by the second most powerful world economy, the increasing quality of the Chinese education and the worldwide recognition that comes with it, as well as the first-hand experience of the world’s oldest continuous culture.

More importantly, China is now more open than ever to international students and the scholarship opportunities are abundant.

The prospective candidates can avail themselves of a large gamut of scholarship opportunities at various levels, as it follows:

CHINESE GOVERNMENT SCHOLARSHIPS

Chinese Government Scholarship –  Great Wall Programme

Chinese Government Scholarship – EU Programme

Chinese Government Scholarship – Bilateral Programme

Chinese Government Scholarship – PIF Programme

According to the country of provenience of the prospective candidates, other Bilateral Scholarship opportunities may be available through national institutions of the applicants’ countries of origin.

For the students who have been admitted without a scholarship, the university supports, encourages and notifies its self-funded students regarding any other available scholarship opportunities (such as Distinguished Foreign Student of People’s Republic of China, Beijing Government Scholarship, etc.).
