Hi everyone, it's Global Scholarships and I'm your host, Az

I hope you're all doing well, I hope everything's going great. And today we're gonna talk about the cost of studying in China
0:08
Let's get to it. Living and studying in China have never been too expensive
0:12
The costs were constantly lower than those of other high-demanding nations, including the USA, UK, Canada and others
0:18
Living expenses are always reasonable and tuition at each level is quite affordable
0:22
However, graduate-level tuition is always more costly than undergraduate-level tuition. In China, a bachelor's student needs to budget between 20 and 80 thousand yuan
0:32
and a master's student should spend between 25 and 90 thousand yuan or more on average for tuition fees
0:39
There is no set policy on tuition-free degrees for citizens of the EU, EA or Switzerland
0:44
Though not as much as overseas students, they still have to pay. The tuition costs, however, may differ based on the school and the subject
0:51
You must therefore select your desired school and verify the tuition cost before applying
0:55
So, what are the costs of studying in China? Well, first we have academic costs, of course, tuition fees
1:01
In China, there is no set range for tuition costs. However, the cost of tuition may change based on the subject you're applying for
1:08
and the university you decide on. The range will be higher for the medical courses
1:12
Some of the universities we can see the tuition fees of are Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University, Shanghai Jiatong University, Tongji University and Nanjing University
1:21
Of course, an international student may also have to pay for application fee, health insurance and other educational expenses in addition to their tuition fees
1:28
An application fee, often ranging from 700 to 800 yuan, is required for admission to the majority of Chinese institutions
1:35
For example, Shanghai Jiatong University charges a 75 US dollars application cost
1:40
for both undergraduate and graduate programs, whereas Zhejiang University needs a non-refundable 800 yuan application fee for all applicants
1:47
Okay, but what about the living expenses? Well, now we'll see five major cities in China
1:52
and talk about the living expenses in those cities. In number one, we have Shanghai
1:57
Shanghai, home to more than 25 million people, is situated on the southern bank of the Yangtze River
2:02
Depending on the university and the kind of room, the cost of on-campus housing for an international student
2:07
might vary between 2,500 to 4,000 yuan each semester. In addition, the cost of food and other expenses might not exceed 2,000 yuan
2:16
Shanghai is one of the principal hubs for business and economics worldwide
2:20
so selecting it may cost you a little bit more than other places. At number two, we have Beijing
2:25
the capital and the most demanding city of China, which is why it's also another expensive city
2:30
But students from all around the world can receive the highest caliber education from these institutions
2:35
For housing, an international student may have to pay between 2,700 and 4,500 Chinese yuan per month
2:43
An additional 2,500 yuan may be needed for other costs like transportation or food
2:48
At number three, we have Hangzhou. The next populous city in China, where an international student should budget between 1,500 and 3,000 Chinese yuan per month
2:57
with additional expenses like transportation and food reaching up to 2,000 Chinese yuan
3:02
At number four, we have Shenzhen, one of the most well-known cities in China
3:06
The city is renowned for its customs, culture and employment prospects, which welcome international students seeking higher education
3:13
A monthly budget of 4,500 Chinese yuan should be sufficient for overseas students
3:18
studying in Shenzhen to cover all expenses, including lodging, transportation, food and other expenses
3:24
At number five, we have Chengdu. Due to its lower cost of living when compared to other Chinese cities
3:29
Chengdu is a popular destination for overseas students. Its cost of living is either less expensive than Shenzhen or nearly identical
3:36
All expenses in Chengdu city should be covered by an international student with a monthly budget of 2,000 to 3,000 Chinese yuan
3:44
Of course, international students can apply for large scholarships or funds from the Chinese government or certain private individuals
3:51
International students can easily take advantage of these special chances to cover their stay in China
3:56
For instance, students from all over the world are eligible to apply
4:00
for the Undergraduate and Graduate Chinese Government Scholarship, Type A. On the other side, overseas students attending institutions in Shanghai
4:07
may be eligible for Shanghai Government Scholarships, which provide up to 59,000 Chinese yuan
