Application Schedule ( Application and Admission Requirements )
Full-time universities’ academic year in China normally contains two semesters, Spring semester and Autumn semester, except for a few ones implementing 3-semester system. The first semester starts on autumn of each year, requiring fully submission of materials between late February and late July of that year; and the second starts on spring, receiving materials between late October and late January starting from the previous year to the current year. But the dates are generally set, hence, it is important to figure out every university’s specific application deadline for each semester, and when it comes to those universities of 3-semester system, it becomes more significant.
Programs Start and its’ duration
China’s universities offer thousands of programs for foreign students. Non-degree programs teaching Chinese language and culture are particularly popular, but it is also possible to earn a degree in China. Most degree programs are taught in Chinese and therefore require a certain level of language proficiency. However, an increasing number of English-taught degree programs are available. most degree programs have certain requirements regarding the applicant’s academic background and language skills.
Degree programs are generally of a fixed duration, undergraduate degree programs last from four to five-years, master’s degrees for two to three years, and doctorate degrees for three to five years. Language programs are mainly one semester (4-6 months), one year or short-term (anywhere from 1-8 weeks). Application and Admission Requirements
Degree programs: At most Chinese universities degree programs begin every autumn (September). A small number of programs can admit students beginning in the spring semester.
Language programs: one-semester (4-6 months) language course usually begin in both semesters (in which start in September and February/March); one year language programs usually begin during autumn (September); some short-term courses run according to a fixed times while others may operate on an on-demand basis at the request of a group of students.
