Type A vs Type B: Two Ways to Apply<\/h2>\n

Type A \u2013 Embassy (bilateral) route<\/h3>\n

You apply through the Chinese embassy or the education authority in your home country, which nominates candidates to the CSC. You can usually list up to three preferred universities. Deadlines are set by each embassy and often fall between January and March.<\/p>\n

Type B \u2013 University route<\/h3>\n

You apply directly to one of the roughly 280 Chinese universities authorised to receive CSC scholars. The university pre-selects you and nominates you to the CSC. Many students apply to two or three universities in parallel to increase their chances. Deadlines are commonly between January and April.<\/p>\n

Tip:<\/strong> Contacting a potential supervisor and getting an acceptance (pre-admission) letter strongly boosts master’s and PhD applications under Type B.<\/div>\n
