Do you want to study in China? The list of Chinese universities under CSC is discussed here, which means you can study at these universities using scholarships funded by the Chinese government to help international students.
Many students rarely consider studying in China when considering studying abroad. This could be due to a language barrier, however the institutions do offer a diverse selection of majors taught in both English and German.
Although China is not a well-known educational destination among international students, its universities are among the best in the world, particularly in research-related subjects. Aside from that, their institutions are also inexpensive to attend; this applies to both domestic and international students, and there are a variety of scholarships available to assist international students.
Chinese governments, organizations, and institutions sponsor these scholarships for international students studying in China. The Jiangsu University Presidential Scholarship, the China Scholarship Council (CSC) Scholarship, the Schwarzman Scholars Program, Chinese Provincial Government Scholarships, Confucius Institute Scholarship, and the CAST WAS Scholarships are all examples of these scholarships.
The CSC Scholarship is the most widely awarded of all the scholarships described above, and it is given by some, but not all, of the Chinese universities included in this blog post.
