Eligibility

Confirm undergraduate eligibility in the current official guide, including nationality, passport, health, age, and high-school graduation requirements. For 2026 undergraduate entry, many Chinese universities require CSCA results; applicants should confirm the exact subjects and exemptions for this school and major. Students with Chinese nationality background or prior Chinese citizenship should verify Ministry of Education nationality-document rules before applying.

Language

Language requirements vary by program; confirm whether the selected major is Chinese-taught or English-taught and which HSK or English proof is required. Applicants planning to study in Chinese should prepare HSK evidence early, especially if they are also applying for scholarships.
