UniversityBegin with no Chinese. Graduate from a Chinese university, on a full scholarship.
One path, four steps — HSK 1 → HSK 4 → CSCA → admission. Prepared by BLCU-trained faculty who sit on the item-writing teams for the exams you will sit.
Two minutes. No cost, no phone call, no agent.
Academic partner
220,000 international students from 189 countries have studied at BLCU.
The path
What the next eighteen months look like
Not a course catalogue — a sequence. Each step has one job, and the step before it decides whether you can take it.
Find your level
Two minutes, free. Your current HSK level, an honest estimate of the months to HSK 4 at your pace, and the first CSCA sitting you can realistically make.
Reach HSK 4
Live classes five days a week, from $39 a month. HSK 4 is the language bar at which most Chinese-taught programmes and scholarships begin.
Pass the CSCA
Since 2026 every international undergraduate applicant sits it. Professional Chinese plus Mathematics for most programmes — and Mathematics is never waived.
Apply, with the scholarship
Tuition, accommodation, CNY 2,500 a month and medical insurance. We teach you to file it yourself — we are not an agency.
Programs
Live classes, taught in English and Español
Pick the level you can pass today, not the one you hope to reach. Registering too high wastes a fee and two months; too low wastes an application cycle.

Everything that is published — and everything that is not
Most pages about studying in China are written by agencies that need you to feel you cannot do it alone. This one is written by teachers. Where no official answer exists yet, we say so instead of guessing.
| Subjects | Professional Chinese in a Humanities and a STEM version, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry |
| Sittings | Asia-Pacific December, April, June · Europe, Africa, Americas January, March |
| Fee | CNY 450 for one subject · CNY 700 for two or more |
| Results | 7 working days online and computer-based · 14 working days on paper |
| HSK 4 exemption | Applies only to six named Chinese-language majors — and it never removes Mathematics, for anyone. |
| Passing score | Not published. Universities set their own minimums, and most have not published those either. |
