Eligibility

The ELIC undergraduate guide includes applicant eligibility rules covering nationality, passport, health, conduct, academic background, and any age or guardian 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

The ELIC guide includes language requirements; Chinese-taught programs usually require HSK, while English-taught programs may require IELTS, TOEFL, Duolingo, prior English-medium study, or an interview. Applicants planning to study in Chinese should prepare HSK evidence early, especially if they are also applying for scholarships.

Application path

Open the ELIC source guide and the university's official international student portal before advising an applicant. Prepare passport, high-school diploma or pre-graduation certificate, transcripts, language proof, physical examination, no-criminal-record certificate, financial proof, and scholarship materials where required. Track scholarship review, admission notice, JW form, X1 visa, insurance, housing, and on-campus registration steps.

Program notes

The ELIC guide includes scholarship information; compare Chinese Government Scholarship, provincial or municipal scholarships, and university-level awards for coverage of tuition, accommodation, insurance, and living allowance. The ELIC guide includes fee information; confirm the latest application fee, tuition, accommodation, and insurance standards before payment. Program availability should be confirmed by major and language route in the latest official catalog.
