Beasiswa dan pendanaan
Pendanaan bagi mahasiswa internasional di China berasal dari sumber nasional, provinsi, kota, dan universitas. Sebagian besar pelamar yang mendapat pendanaan mengajukan lebih dari satu.
| Skema | Cakupan | Cara mendaftar | Tenggat umum |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beasiswa Pemerintah China (CSC) | Biaya kuliah, akomodasi, asuransi, dan 2.500–3.500 CNY per bulan | Kedutaan (Tipe A) atau universitas (Tipe B) | November – Februari |
| Beasiswa Institut Konfusius | Biaya kuliah, akomodasi, asuransi, dan 2.500 CNY per bulan | cis.chinese.cn — maksimal 2 universitas tujuan | Februari – April |
| Beasiswa Pemerintah Shanghai (Tipe A) | Paket penuh termasuk tunjangan | Melalui universitas | Februari – April |
| Beasiswa Pemerintah Shanghai (Tipe B) | Sebagian — biasanya bebas biaya kuliah penuh | Dinominasikan oleh universitas | Februari – April |

Hampir semua beasiswa China diberikan untuk satu tahun akademik dan diperpanjang setiap tahun berdasarkan kriteria kinerja yang mencakup kredit, nilai, kehadiran, dan — bagi mahasiswa riset — penilaian pembimbing. Kehilangan pendanaan adalah hal yang umum dan hampir selalu bisa dihindari: penyebab paling sering adalah tidak lulus ujian bahasa Mandarin persiapan yang wajib dilalui penerima beasiswa sarjana tanpa kemampuan Mandarin yang memadai pada akhir tahun pertama.
Dua fakta struktural membentuk strategi pendaftaran. Pertama, CSC mensyaratkan dokumen pra-penerimaan dari universitas sasaran, sehingga pendaftaran ke universitas harus selesai sebelum tenggat beasiswa. Kedua, jalur kedutaan (Tipe A) dan jalur universitas (Tipe B) dinilai oleh komite yang berbeda — jadi penolakan di satu jalur tidak memengaruhi jalur lain, dan mengajukan keduanya kurang lebih menggandakan peluang Anda dengan tambahan biaya yang hampir nol.
Pendanaan sebagian jauh lebih mudah diperoleh dan sering menghapus biaya terbesar. Bebas biaya kuliah dari skema provinsi atau universitas, dipadukan dengan asisten riset yang dibayar dari dana pembimbing, dapat menutup sebagian besar biaya jenjang pascasarjana di kota berbiaya rendah. Skema provinsi secara konsisten kurang kompetitif dibandingkan CSC, dan beasiswa rektor di tingkat universitas sering kurang peminat karena kurang dipublikasikan.
Scholarship catalogue
Twelve routes into funded study in China — the CSC programme family, the language-teaching awards, the regional schemes most applicants never hear about, and the provincial and university awards that are easiest to win. Amounts are the published annual standards for the 2026/27 cycle.
A full Chinese government award channelled through UNESCO. It funds only general and senior visiting scholars — no bachelor, master’s or doctoral places — and exists for students, teachers and researchers from developing countries with a defined research or teaching project.
A full award for nationals of EU member states, open at all five levels and intended to increase two-way student mobility. Applications go through the education and culture office of the Chinese Mission to the EU, not through your own ministry.
A full Chinese government award granted to the ASEAN University Network. Master’s and doctoral only, for young students, teachers and academics from the ten ASEAN states. Quota sits with AUN member universities, so individual applications travel through your institution to the AUN Secretariat.
A full award for Pacific island countries, open at all five levels from bachelor to senior scholar. Quota is administered by the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat, which makes it the main government route for students from the region.
A partial Chinese government award granted to WMO: tuition, accommodation and insurance only, with no stipend. It is restricted to meteorology, hydrology and atmospheric science, and is one of very few government routes into those fields.
