Yes. You can apply for the Chinese Government Scholarship (embassy channel), provincial and city scholarships and university scholarships. Bachelor's scholarship applications require a CSCA result. Scholarship applications usually close between December and February; the eligibility check shows which scholarships you may apply for.

Most Chinese universities apply a flexible study period for bachelor's degrees: if you cannot complete your courses or take a break, you may study longer than the standard duration. The maximum period and conditions are set out in the university's regulations; an extension requires the university's approval and an extended residence permit. Scholarships usually cover only the standard duration.

At most universities a change of programme is usually possible after the first year, subject to places, grades and the university's approval. Moving to a programme taught in a different language (English to Chinese or vice versa) requires a language certificate; scholarship holders also need the scholarship body's approval. The safest course is to choose your programme carefully when you apply; your adviser can help.

Requirements vary by university and year; your adviser confirms the exact requirements when you apply.
