Heilongjiang University Admission Guide for the "Chinese Government Scholarship - High-level Graduate Program"
To enhance mutual understanding and friendship between the Chinese people and people from various countries around the world, as well as to promote exchanges and cooperation between China and other countries in politics, economy, culture, education, and trade, the Chinese government has established various scholarship programs to support international students, teachers, and scholars in studying and conducting research activities at Chinese universities. Students who are awarded the Chinese Government Scholarship (referred to as "scholarship recipients") will be placed in higher education institutions or research institutions entrusted by the Ministry of Education of China to study disciplines related to natural sciences, engineering, agriculture, medicine, economics, law, management, education, history, literature, philosophy, and other fields. The Ministry of Education of China formulates the annual plan for the Chinese Government Scholarship and entrusts the China Scholarship Council (referred to as "CSC") with the specific responsibility of recruitment and the daily management of scholarship recipients in China. China warmly welcomes outstanding young students, scholars, and teachers from around the world to study and conduct research at Chinese higher education institutions.
Heilongjiang University is an approved institution for receiving Chinese Government Scholarship recipients. Since 1980, the university has admitted over 24,000 international students from various countries.
