For an English-taught programme you must prove your English, but IELTS is not the only way. Zhejiang Sci-Tech accepts English-medium schooling, Tianjin University a certificate that your high school taught in English, and Zhejiang Gongshang (for bachelor's) and Jiangsu University (for master's) the Duolingo English Test. Chinese-taught programmes ask for HSK 4 instead.

How to choose

How do you pick the right Chinese university?

Six checks Sunrise counsellors run with every China applicant before the application goes in.

1. Do you need the CSCA?

Most bachelor's applicants need the CSCA from 2026: Mathematics for every programme, plus Physics or Chemistry for science and engineering. It runs five times a year and can be taken online.

2. Chinese-taught or English-taught?

English-taught programmes ask for IELTS 5.5–6.5 or similar and usually cost more; Chinese-taught ones ask for HSK 4. Some universities want HSK 4 before you graduate even from an English-taught degree.

3. Are you inside the age limit?

Most universities on this page take bachelor's applicants under 25 and master's applicants under 35; Hohai and Zhejiang Sci-Tech accept bachelor's applicants under 30.

4. Which scholarship route?

The Chinese Government Scholarship is applied for through the Chinese Embassy (Type A) or through the university (Type B), not both; university rounds usually close between December and February.

5. Have you budgeted beyond tuition?

Add housing (RMB 300–1,350 a month on this page), insurance of RMB 800–1,000 a year and the application fee; the visa centre in Dhaka asks self-funded students for a bank statement of at least US$2,500 a year.

6. Do you know the work rules?

Off-campus work or internships need your university's approval and an endorsement on your residence permit, and are limited to 8 hours a week during term.

Read the full China student visa guide for the X1 visa. CSCA from the Shanghai government; bank statement from the Chinese Visa Application Service Center, Dhaka; work rules from the Chongqing government. Last verified 11 Nov 2026.
