Eligibility & conditions

Non-Chinese citizens in good health. Age limits: under 25 for bachelor's (high-school diploma), under 35 for master's (bachelor's degree), under 40 for doctoral (master's degree). Bachelor's applicants must take the CSCA exam; Chinese-taught master's/PhD programmes need HSK level 4, while English-taught programmes follow the university's own language rules.

Deadline & how to apply

Applications go through an 'application receiving agency' (for many applicants, the Chinese embassy) or a university-run track, then the online CSC system — each route sets its own dates, so check with your embassy or chosen university.
