Six mainland Chinese universities are in the QS top 100, and yearly tuition at the universities we checked starts near RMB 20,000. Most degrees are taught in Chinese, so check the language rules first.
Every figure below comes from an official university or government page. China is the destination where the language of instruction matters most, so read the language row of the comparison table first.
Undergraduate tuition (excluding MBBS and special programs): Zhejiang RMB 19,800–29,800; Wuhan RMB 20,000–30,000 (English-medium RMB 23,000–40,000); HIT RMB 20,000 Chinese-taught or 26,000 English-taught; USTC RMB 26,000. Fudan and BIT tuition is not verified yet.
Wuhan University’s own estimate for living expenses. Dormitories cost RMB 500–1,000 a month at USTC and RMB 800–1,000 at HIT; insurance is about RMB 800–1,000 a year. Costs in Shanghai and Beijing are not verified yet.
Students on a study residence permit may not take off-campus part-time jobs or internships unless the university and the exit-entry authority approve it and it is noted on the residence permit.
We have not yet verified an official post-study work route for bachelor’s graduates. Check with the Chinese embassy or the university’s international office before you plan around it.
The Chinese Government Scholarship exempts application fee, tuition and dormitory fees, includes comprehensive medical insurance and pays undergraduates RMB 2,500 a month. USTC Fellowship (Level A) covers tuition, insurance, an RMB 2,500 monthly stipend and a housing subsidy. HIT, Fudan and the Beijing and Shanghai governments also offer awards.
Campus China · USTC · HIT
Most undergraduate degrees are taught in Chinese: HIT asks HSK 4 (210+) and USTC asks HSK 5. English-taught undergraduate programs are limited — HIT: Civil and Chemical Engineering (IELTS above 6.0 or TOEFL above 80); Fudan: MBBS and Economics; BIT: IELTS 6.0 or TOEFL 85. USTC and HIT also require the China Scholastic Competency Assessment (CSCA).
Figures verified from official pages on September 25, 2026. Several Chinese fee and deadline pages were not available in a readable form — those cells are marked “not verified yet” in the table.
Six universities: two in the QS top 50 as the ambitious option, and four ranked roughly 130–250 as realistic choices. Pick two or three to compare — start with the language row.
Students who study in China for more than 180 days apply for an X1 visa with the admission letter and the study-visa application form issued by the university.
The documents and the 30-day residence-permit rule come from Chinese embassy notices. The 4-working-day time comes from visa-service guides, not an official Uzbekistan-specific notice, and fees vary by nationality — confirm both with the embassy or visa center.

Honest answers — including what Study House cannot promise.
For most undergraduate degrees, yes. Chinese-taught programs ask for HSK 4 (HIT) or HSK 5 (USTC). English-taught undergraduate programs exist but are limited — for example Civil and Chemical Engineering at HIT, or MBBS and Economics at Fudan — and some need a minimum number of students to start.
At the universities we could verify, tuition is roughly RMB 20,000–30,000 a year for regular undergraduate programs (more for medicine and special programs), plus about RMB 1,000–2,000 a month for living costs at Wuhan University’s estimate. The Chinese Government Scholarship can cover tuition and dormitory fees and pay a monthly allowance, but places are competitive.
Study House cannot give a safety rating for a city or campus. Check each shortlisted university’s student-support and safety information, follow your government’s travel advice, and ask us to help you compare cities on cost and student support.
Ask the embassy or visa center what was missing. In many cases you can apply again with corrected documents, and fees are generally not refunded. Your university’s international office can also confirm that your admission letter and JW form are correct. We can review the situation with you, but the embassy decides.
No. Study House cannot guarantee admission or a visa. Universities decide admission and the government decides visas. What we do is help you choose realistic universities, prepare a complete application and avoid mistakes that can be avoided.
