Hello, I am creating this thread as a source of enlightenment for as many as have plans to come to Beijing.

Having gained a lot from travel page, I wish to document my experience and findings here. Hopefully it will help others too to achieve their dreams. To these people, I pray the desire of their hearts be fulfilled speedily and to 'freelancers', happy following.




Egbon,

Please how can I start?

Or what is the frist thing to do?

Thanks for sharing. This part is very important for me as I'll be visiting Beijing and Shanghaiin a few weeks.

Culture Shock!

No doubt, the place is very different from our country especially places like Lagos, I was not really shocked because I have always longed for a place like this. I find it hard to cope in Lagos. I however enjoyed my stay in Abuja for the small time I spent visiting. I will list some difference though.

Food.
This is my biggest challenge right now. I am finding it hard to adjust to the cuisine. Thank God I brought some food along. Though some of the food are close to ours, majority are wide apart. There are African foods market too too but expensive. The meal below is egg in soup and fried potato.

Safety and security.
The place really looks safe and serene. You do not need to be over-careful or watchful. A lot of young Chinese use their phones while working on the road without any car hitting them, no car blares horn anyhow like that too.

I ordered stuff online, it was dropped at the entrance. There is no fear that someone will steal it in most cases.

However the most challenging situation faced by all is the language barrier. Most dont understand nor speak English except you are in an international environment.

Application Fee
The Chinese universities has some advantage in this regard as most will carry out preliminary evaluation on your application for completeness and competitiveness and sometimes interview before you are asked to pay the application fee. The application fee ranges from 200 to 800 yuan.
Note: 1 Yuan or RMB is roughly 50 Naira.

Scholarship
There are various and different types of scholarships available for international students in China. Some are full funding while others are partial funding. The most popular ones are
1. Chinese Government scholarship
2. Confucius Scholarship usually for language student
3. Provincial Scholarship: offered by various provinces e.g. Beijing Government scholarship, Shanghai Government scholarship, Jilin Government Scholarship and so on.
4. MOFCOM Scholarship by the Ministry of Finance.

The process of application is similar for them and the same document that will be used for admission is usually used.

Note: Scholarship application will be done first before applying to the school since the completed application form will be submitted during school application. However the choice of school must have been made before applying for the scholarship as the name of school and CSC code for the school will be asked during application.

Also for undergraduate program, the CSC scholarship is usually for those that want to study in Chinese i.e. those whose language of instruction is in Chinese. English taught undergraduates can apply for other scholarship(s).

The scholarship application ends for most schools by March or April. The CSC scholarship can be applied for in two ways:
1. Type A- This method is through the Chinese embassy. You will have to go to their embassy as they are the ones that select for this type.

2. Type B-In this case you apply to CSC yourself after you have researched the school you wanted and probably gotten acceptance from your supervisor.

In conclusion on scholarship, you can have multiple application with same email or different ones as you like, but I think it is limited to three (3). That means you can apply to CSC for 3 different schools. But it is not the number of applications made that matters but making your application solid, getting supervisor etc.

Thanks a lot for this thread FA13. It's truly appreciated. Please I have a question concerning the boldened. I hope you can help me out when it's convenient. I saw a school on Campuschina in which the CSC scholarship is available for my interested undergraduate course in English. Could this have been an error or is it really available in just that school for English undergraduate program? Isn't the CSC eligibility uniform across schools in China? I'm really confused. Thanks in anticipation of your reply
