Universities in China (2027): Fees, Deadlines, Requirements

China runs one of the world's largest systems of higher education for international students, admitted mainly through each university's own international office rather than one national portal. Most bachelor's degrees are taught in Chinese and assessed through the HSK test, while a smaller but growing number of English taught programmes ask for IELTS or TOEFL instead, and the main intake for both is September.
