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

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

Scholarship availability should be checked against national, provincial or municipal, and school-level routes before submission. 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.
