Nowadays, foreign students are studying in China not only for Chinese language, but also for undergraduate, master and PhD programs. Learning Chinese language is an inevitable step when you apply to any national universities in China. However, different academic departments have their own Chinese language requirements. Departments such as engineering and computer sciences have a lower Chinese language requirement compare to management and law.
To find the right university in China, you need to consider what your goal of study is. For Chinese language and culture learning, you should apply to a university with good Chinese language program with cultural courses. For undergraduate and graduate degree program, you have to consider the academic standard and employment opportunities.
When applying to top “Brand name” universities in China, such as Peking, Tsinghua and Fudan University, admission to degree programs is limited and extremely competitive. You must be well-informed, well-prepared, and very determined to work very hard to gain admission.
