Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I get a full scholarship for these programs?
Yes, international students can apply for the Chinese Government Scholarship (CSC) or University Presidential Scholarships for most programs listed above. However, highly competitive majors like Clinical Medicine (MBBS) or Dentistry usually have limited full-scholarship quotas. We highly recommend reading our Scholarship Guidebook to optimize your application.
2. Do I need to take an entrance exam?
You have to take the CSCA (China Scholastic Competency Assessment) in most cases.
3. Are all these programs taught 100% in English?
While the universities listed offer English-medium tracks for these specific majors, availability can change annually. Sino-Foreign joint ventures (like XJTLU or NYU Shanghai) are 100% English-taught. For traditional public universities, you must verify the medium of instruction on their official application portals.
