Why students choose China
Scholarships
Chinese Government (CSC), provincial and university scholarships can cover tuition, a dorm room and sometimes a monthly stipend.

Business, engineering, computer science and more — no Chinese needed to start, though learning some helps daily life.

HSC GPA 3.50+ typical
IELTS 5.5–6.0 · Some universities accept an English-medium certificate.
MASTER'S
Bachelor's, CGPA 2.75–3.00+
IELTS 6.0 · Scholarships need strong grades and a study plan.
Documents we'll help you prepare

- Bachelor's certificate & transcript (Master's)
- English test result, where required

Typical starting points — every university and course sets its own rules.
Show you can cover your stay.
Self-funded students usually show a sponsor's bank statement covering tuition and a year of living costs. Scholarship holders often need to show much less — your counsellor confirms what your university asks for.
Do
Keep 6 months of steady statements, tax papers and a clear source of funds.
Avoid
Sudden large deposits, unexplained money and last-minute paperwork.
Work, housing and what comes after.
Part-time work
Off-campus work needs approval from your university and the immigration office, and is limited. Plan your budget without it.
Dormitories
Most universities house international students on campus — affordable, safe and close to classes.
After graduation
Graduates of Chinese universities can apply for work permits if hired, and Chinese language skills are valuable for employers in Bangladesh too.
