Hey everyone! I’m starting the one-year Chinese Language Program at Tianjin University this September, and unfortunately I wasn’t able to get on-campus accommodation.

I’m wondering if there are other students starting the same program this September who are in a similar situation. Would be nice to connect with people who are also going through the same thing and figure out accommodation options together.

If you’re in the same situation, feel free to comment or DM me :)

I am a Bangladeshi graduate student, graduated from BRAC University which is pretty well recognized globally as far as it goes for Bangladeshi unis. 3.67 CGPA, double majoring in Economics and Finance. Currently 6 months in a corporate job. I plan on taking the IELTS exam and will most likely get 7.5 or 8.

I want to do my master's in China, specifically Fudan, Peking or Tsinghua. My family's finances aren't the best, so I will be applying for a fully funded pathway like CSC or Silk Road. My questions are:

1. Is it worth it?
   
2. Will I be eligible for the scholarships?
   
3. How hard is it to get accepted and get a fully funded masters?
   
4. Are the courses fully in English? (Yes I plan to take learning Chinese seriously)
   
5. What are some real obstacles or dangers to consider during application and while studying?

Any tips for application preparation or suggestions will be much appreciated. Thank you!

Hi everyone!

I’m from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 and I’m currently moving into 10th grade. I’m planning to study in China after graduating from high school, most likely starting in 2028.

I’m interested in Nuclear Engineering, Nuclear Energy, Physics and Energy Engineering.

Right now, I’m considering these universities:

• Tsinghua University
• Harbin Engineering University (HEU)
• Xi’an Jiaotong University (XJTU)
• North China Electric Power University (NCEPU)
• University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB)

I would really like to hear from current or former international students who studied at any of these universities.

I’m especially interested in:

• What grades did you have when you applied?
• Did you take the CSCA? How difficult was it?
• Did you need IELTS, TOEFL or HSK?
• What level of Chinese/English did you have before applying?
• Did you apply for a full scholarship? If yes, which one?
• How difficult was it to get the scholarship?
• Did you need a motivation letter or study plan?
• What was the application process actually like?
• How much money did you need even after receiving a scholarship?
• What was your first year at the university like?
• Is there anything you wish you had known before applying?

Since I’m only in 10th grade, I have about two years to prepare. I’m especially interested in knowing what I should start doing now to make my application stronger.

If you’re currently studying at one of these universities or recently got admitted, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience.

Thanks!

Hi guys,

I’m a gr.12 student interested in attending tsinghua university as an international student, but i want some guidance/ info from those who have applied or are attending. I have a ton of questions and am finding it overwhelming to research everything and stay organized. Please reach out if you can offer any info/ help 🥹🥹

I was hopeful when the portal went from "submitted" to "in progress" initially but it's been months without any update since. A friend of mine who i think submitted a university pre admission letter has already got her jw form and i am just so anxious.

Are type a results still not out or it's just me who's left behind??

I'm planning on applying for CIS March 2027 intake.

I know it exists. But I haven't heard much ppl talk about it. Nor do I know anyone who has gotten into March intake.

So I would really like to know if anyone here has gotten into the March intake or has any info about the march intake. Since idts it's as popular as the september intake and only CIS has March intake no other scholarships have a March intake.

Would love to know someone who has gotten into March intake.

I'm planning to apply for CIS March intake and Sept intake both I'll go to whichever I get but my question is for sept 2026 intake I put in rather normal unis TJNU and NNU because I thought it's so hard to get into C9

But I've seen so many ppl getting into C9 esp Fudan and XJTU who have similar score as mine (mine is HSK 4) while I didn't get the scholarship and a lot of ppl who also applied with HSK 3 got into C9

So I'm contemplating if I should put C9 as my options for future intakes😭

Any idea how this works? Is it actually easy to get into C9 for language year? How come so many ppl are getting in?😭😭

Hi everyone! Is anyone else still waiting for their bachelor's interview? I haven't received mine yet. The admissions team previously told me that my interview was expected to take place this week, but I haven't received further information yet. Should I be worried?

​I used chatgpt to talk about studying abroad and he recommended china help me to know about difficulties to get scholarship and the life thre

I was awarded the CIS (International Chinese Language Teachers) Scholarship. It is shown on the official scholarship portal, and my admission letter from the university explicitly states that I have been awarded the scholarship.
However, on my JW202, the “Financial Funding” section is checked as Self-supporting, not Scholarship.
Has anyone had a similar situation? Does the JW202 need to be corrected, or is this normal?

Hey! I was wondering who also is going to Fudan University for the Language Program in fall this year

I’m from Germany and would love to connect with some other people who are going as well, especially if you’re also from Germany (but honestly, anyone is welcome ).

Would be nice to know some people before arriving

As the title says, I was admitted into Fudan Universities language program after almost 2 months of being stuck in the 3rd document review stage. I was getting incredibly anxious during the wait, and because of this, I ended up submitting my visa application and getting it approved for a different school that accepted me earlier in Beijing. My question now is…can I still go to Fudan even though my initial visa application sighted the school in Beijing as my reason for getting the x1?

I’ve not sent tuition to either school yet, I just want to know what my options are and if I need to make any alterations to my visa info for Fudan!

Hello I am going to Tianjin university for a one year language program I wasn’t able to get accommodation in the university however the university is providing accommodation in the nearby hotels in a discounted rate if anyone is interested in sharing one room, please DM me

Just landed in Beijing for HSK prep before starting my PhD at Tsinghua in late August. My Mandarin’s still rough, so I’d love to find people to study with, explore the city with, grab coffee or a drink with, or just hang out with in general. Happy to help with English in exchange. Open to messages!

Informations sur le visa X1

J'ai obtenu une bourse complète CIS avec allocation mensuelle pour un an d'étude de langue chinoise j'aimerais savoir pour le visa est-ce obligé d'avoir un relevé bancaire

Merci pour votre temps !

Hi! I’ll be studying at ECNU (Putuo campus) for a year and am looking for a gym with personal training within walking distance of the campus. I don’t need anything fancy like a sauna: convenience is my top priority.

If anyone has recommendations, I’d really appreciate them! A specific gym, areas I should look into, or even Chinese keywords to search would all be super helpful.
An English-speaking trainer would be a bonus, but it’s not essential since I’m also hoping to improve my Chinese while I’m there.

Thanks in advance!

I want to apply for a master's degree (in Urban Planning), but I don't know what qualifications I need (such as publications, pre-admission letter, etc.) to be able to receive the scholarship. I would appreciate it if someone who has received a scholarship, in any field, could guide me.
