Most people think studying abroad means expensive tuition fees. This opportunity in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province flips that — offering full tuition scholarships for Bachelor's degree programs taught entirely in English.
Here is everything you need to know.
What Is This Opportunity?
This is a tuition scholarship for international students applying for a Bachelor's degree at a university in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province — one of China's most historically significant and academically active cities.
All programs are taught in English, making them accessible to students who have not yet developed Mandarin proficiency. Five majors are available across engineering, technology, and business:
- International Trade and Economics
- Electrical Engineering and Automation
- Software Engineering
- Computer Science and Technology
- Mechanical Engineering
Whether your interest is in business, coding, or engineering, there is a program here worth considering.
What Does the Scholarship Cover?
- Full tuition — completely waived for scholarship recipients
Accommodation and living costs are not listed as covered, so you will need to budget for those separately. That said, the cost of living in Xuzhou is significantly lower than in major Chinese cities like Shanghai or Beijing, making it manageable for most international students.
Who Can Apply?
- Nationality: Open to all countries — no restrictions
- Age: 18 to 33 years old
- Education: Must have completed secondary school
- Subject requirement: CSCA in Mathematics is required
- Interview: Shortlisted applicants will go through an interview process
The Mathematics requirement signals that the engineering and technology programs especially are looking for applicants with a solid academic foundation in the subject. If you have strong Math results, that works in your favour across most of the listed majors.
Why Xuzhou?
Xuzhou sits at the heart of Jiangsu Province, one of China's most economically productive regions. It is a growing hub for technology, trade, and manufacturing — industries directly aligned with the programs on offer.
Jiangsu Province consistently produces some of China's top graduates, and studying here gives you access to a strong academic environment at a fraction of what similar programs cost in Western countries. For students interested in careers in tech, engineering, or international trade with China-linked industries, this location offers real practical value beyond the classroom.
What to Expect From the Application Process
Because seats are limited and an interview is part of the process, this is not a program you can rush at the last minute. Here is how to approach it:
- Confirm your Mathematics CSCA result is ready to submit
- Prepare your secondary school certificate and transcripts
- Have a valid international passport
- Write a clear personal statement explaining your choice of major and long-term goals
- Be ready for an interview — practise communicating your motivation confidently in English
The interview stage is actually an advantage for well-prepared applicants. It means the process is not purely grade-based, and a strong personal impression can carry significant weight.
Which Major Should You Choose?
Here is a quick breakdown to help you decide:
- International Trade and Economics — best for students interested in global business, trade policy, and China's role in the global economy
- Electrical Engineering and Automation — strong choice for students with interest in power systems and industrial technology
- Software Engineering — ideal for aspiring developers and those pursuing careers in tech
- Computer Science and Technology — broader than software engineering, covering theory, AI, and systems
- Mechanical Engineering — suited for students drawn to design, manufacturing, and industrial systems
All five are in-demand fields globally, and completing a degree in any of them from a Chinese university adds an international dimension to your CV that employers in both Africa and globally are increasingly recognising.
Act Fast — Seats Are Limited
This is not an open-intake program. Seats are limited, and the combination of a full tuition scholarship with English-taught programs in competitive fields means interest will be high. The earlier you apply, the better your chances of securing one of the available spots.
