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

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.
