Your next chapter
China

Explore a broad range of subjects, with a clear plan for Chinese language, entry and government scholarship support.

Plan my studies with UGOFor students in Uzbekistan. For the families beside them.

Start with
the essentials.

Your school certificate, subjects and study language shape your next step.

Length of study

Normally 4–5 years; preparatory study may add time.

After Grade 11 in Uzbekistan

Direct entry, language first

Universities ask for a senior high school diploma; confirm any schooling-years rule. Chinese-taught degrees need HSK 4–5, or a year of Chinese study first.

Tests to plan for

HSK or English + CSCA

HSK for Chinese-taught degrees; IELTS or TOEFL for English-taught ones. CSC scholarship universities also require the CSCA academic test from 2026/27.

Can I study in English?

Chinese- and English-taught options vary by university and programme.

More about qualifications and tests

Universities ask for a senior high school diploma and set age limits; Beihang, for example, admits applicants aged 18–22. Confirm any schooling-years rule.

Chinese-taught degrees need HSK: Beihang asks for HSK 5 (180+), Central South University HSK 4 or 5 by major. English-taught degrees ask for IELTS or TOEFL.

From 2026/27, bachelor's applicants at Chinese Government Scholarship universities must take the CSCA: Chinese, mathematics and, for science fields, physics or chemistry.

Working while studying

Can I work as a student?

Off-campus work only with approval

Approval documents from your school and the employer go to the local exit and entry bureau. Your residence permit is then annotated with the job's location and duration.

Check the official work rules

Roles to look for

  • University office or lab assistant roles
  • Approved internships linked to your course
  • Translation and language support

Ask your international office first. Without the remark on your residence permit, you may not work or intern outside your school.

A job can help with everyday spending, but vacancies and earnings are not guaranteed. Plan your tuition and essential living costs without relying on future work.

Scholarships.
What can they cover?

Look for university awards that reduce tuition. Compare what your family would still pay for both study and living expenses.

Full government scholarship

Universities to explore

QS World University Rankings 2027

Overall university rankings, not subject rankings. “=” means a shared rank; a range is a ranking band. Compare course content, language and entry requirements too.

These are examples to research, not UGO partners or guaranteed admission or funding.

A little preparation.
A clearer plan.

Bring your school results, subject interests and a family budget to your consultation.

Choose your intake

Most degrees start in late August or September. CSC applications usually run September–March; self-funded deadlines differ by university.

Prepare your documents

Start with your passport, school certificate and transcripts with notarised translations. Add HSK or English scores, your CSCA report, a medical form and a police certificate.

Agree a realistic budget
