Study in China

Tsinghua, Peking, Fudan, SJTU and Zhejiang - rapidly rising Top 100 giants with strong scholarship programs for Central Asian students.

Pathway from Central Asia Direct entry with your school certificate

The most open direct-entry system for 11-year certificate holders: admission is by the university's own exam and/or interview. Many top programs are Chinese-taught (HSK 4–5); full government scholarships (CSC / Belt & Road) are a real option for Central Asian students.
