A transparent 0–100 recommendation index. 70 points are the base: a university enters this catalogue only after passing the basic screen (China's Ministry of Education list, a degree CSCSE can verify, programmes open to international students), so all of them are options worth considering. The remaining 30 points are scored from public figures, and the largest part of that is a published overall-strength standing (ShanghaiRanking / 软科, 2025 edition). It is our own composite — not an official ranking and not a measure of teaching quality.

Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan province in south-west China, and our directory lists four universities here. It is one of the country's most liveable large cities, known for its relaxed pace, teahouses and food culture, alongside a fast-growing technology sector. The student population is large and spread across several campuses. Living costs sit below the coastal metropolises, which makes it attractive for long degree programmes.
Budget context
Chengdu is moderately priced for a major city. Dormitory accommodation is good value and private rents are well below Beijing or Shanghai levels. Canteen meals, local restaurants and public transport are inexpensive, though nightlife and dining out can add up quickly if you indulge. All figures are indicative and vary by campus, housing and lifestyle, so check current prices locally before budgeting.
Getting around
Chengdu has a large metro network, dense bus routes, shared bikes and cheap taxis, plus major rail links including high-speed services to Chongqing, Xi'an and beyond. Two airports handle domestic and international flights, making the city a common gateway to western China.
Climate
The climate is mild and humid, with warm, cloudy summers and cool, damp winters. Rain is common and sunshine relatively limited, and the air can be grey for stretches of the year. Pack layers, a waterproof jacket and an umbrella; heavy winter coats are usually less necessary than in northern cities.
Verify before applying
Confirm that at least one target undergraduate programme is open in your intake and on the campus named by the university.
Check teaching language, tuition, accommodation and the deadline on the current official programme page.
