Documents for your application+
  • Valid international passport
  • Secondary school transcript
  • Secondary school certificate
  • Medical form
  • Police clearance
  • Passport photograph
  • English proficiency letter from the school you last attended

Under 18? The university may need a guardian arrangement. We check this before you apply.

Documents for your X1 student visa+
  • Official admission letter
  • JW202 form
  • Educational documents
  • Physical Examination Record for Foreigner (medical form)
  • Police clearance
  • Bank statement
  • Sponsorship letter
  • Completed visa application form
  • Visa fee

The university will not register you without an X1 visa. The visa decision belongs to the embassy.

Scholarships+

Some programmes come with a first-year full tuition scholarship, renewed each year on academic performance.

Not every programme has one. Scholarships cover tuition only, not accommodation, insurance or living costs, and the university decides who receives them.

What it costs+

We tell you our service fee privately, before you pay anything.

You also cover your university fees, visa fee, medical examination, police clearance, flights, and your housing and living costs in China. You pay tuition directly to the university, never through us.

When you arrive+
  • Register at the university on the dates on your admission letter.
  • Register your accommodation with the local authorities within 24 hours of entering China.
  • Apply for your residence permit within 30 days. Applying late carries legal penalties.
