Step 02 / 06

Check eligibility and teaching language

There is no single entry standard for studying in China. Each university and programme decides the required qualification, language evidence, tests and documents.

Do this now

  1. List your highest completed qualification, grades, subjects and graduation date.
  2. Choose an English-taught, Chinese-taught or preparatory-language route.
  3. Collect only the language evidence the specific programme accepts.
  4. Check whether the programme requires CSCA, an interview, portfolio or school test.

Before you move on

  • The programme accepts your school qualification and subject background.
  • The teaching language applies to the entire degree, not only the first year.
  • Scholarship age or eligibility rules are not confused with admission rules.

Avoid

The one rule that applies to every step

Use the university’s current official programme page for the exact degree, campus, language, tuition, deadline and document rules. Do not treat a directory, social post or agency summary as the final authority.
