Eligibility & Academic Qualifications for Northeast Normal University CSC Scholarship 2027

You must be a non-Chinese citizen in good physical and mental health, with a strong academic record and good conduct. The required previous degree depends on the programme you intend to pursue.

For a Master’s programme, you need a bachelor’s degree or an equivalent qualification and must be 35 years old or younger. PhD applicants must hold a Master’s degree or equivalent and be 40 years old or younger.

You should also check the scholarship restrictions before applying. Applicants cannot normally hold another scholarship funded by the Chinese government or a Chinese university at the same time, except where the stated rules provide an exemption.

Language requirements depend on your chosen programme. For Chinese-taught programmes, applicants generally need HSK Level 5 with a score of at least 180. Graduates who completed a degree at a Chinese university through Chinese-medium instruction are exempt from this requirement. For English-taught programmes, you need TOEFL 80 or higher or IELTS 6.0 or higher. Applicants may also qualify through native or official English-language status or a previous degree completed in an English-medium programme.
