Use a directory to discover options, then open each university’s current official programme page to verify that the exact degree is open to international applicants.
Do this now
Shortlist 6 to 10 universities across realistic and ambitious options.
Compare the exact degree, campus, teaching language, tuition and deadline.
Check that the university appears in the recognised institution lists relevant to you.
Save the official page and date you checked it.
Before you move on
Every shortlisted programme is offered in the target intake.
You know which campus delivers it.
At least two options are financially and academically realistic.
Avoid
Using an unofficial acceptance rate as fact.
Assuming a programme listed for domestic students accepts international students.
Shortlisting only Beijing and Shanghai before checking total cost.
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.
