We haven't confirmed this year's application window, and these dates move every cycle — so we won't print one. The official page is the only reliable source. Ask us and we'll track it for you and tell you when it opens.
Eligibility
Non-Chinese citizens in good health who have lived outside China for at least six years. Age limits run by level: under 25 for undergraduate study, under 35 for a master's and under 40 for a doctorate. Language proof depends on the teaching language — Chinese-taught programmes ask for HSK Level III or above for undergraduate and non-degree study and HSK Level IV or above for postgraduate, while English-taught programmes take IELTS or TOEFL.
Applications run from early January to early April, with the exact dates set each year and varying by university, so the university's own deadline is the one that binds rather than any national date. Applications go through the official channels at csc.edu.cn or campuschina.org — there is no agent in between, and anyone charging you to submit one is selling you something the scheme does not require.
