Chongqing University has announced the opening of applications for its 2026 intake under the Chinese Government Scholarship (CSC) Type B – High-Level Postgraduate Program. The initiative offers fully funded Master’s and PhD opportunities to international students, including those from Pakistan, aiming to pursue advanced studies at one of China’s top-tier public universities.
Comprehensive Funding for Postgraduate Study
The Chongqing University (CQU-CSC) Scholarship provides full financial coverage for selected candidates throughout their academic tenure. The package includes a complete tuition waiver, on-campus housing or a housing allowance, a monthly stipend of 3,000 CNY for Master’s students and 3,500 CNY for PhD candidates, and comprehensive medical insurance. These benefits are designed to support students academically and personally while they study in China.
Eligibility Criteria for International Applicants
The scholarship is open to non-Chinese nationals who meet specific academic and health requirements. Applicants for Master’s programs must hold a bachelor’s degree and be under 35 years of age, while PhD candidates must possess a master’s degree and be under 40. A minimum GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale is required. Language proficiency is also essential: English-taught programs require IELTS, TOEFL, or proof of prior English-medium education, while Chinese-taught programs require HSK Level 5 or equivalent.
Applicants must not be recipients of any other Chinese government or institutional scholarship at the time of application.
Step-by-Step Application Process
Prospective students must complete two separate applications. First, they must register through the CSC online portal, selecting Program Type B and entering Chongqing University’s agency number (10611). A second application must be submitted via the university’s own system, along with an application fee.
Required documents include academic transcripts, degree certificates, proof of language proficiency, a study plan of at least 1,000 words, two letters of recommendation, a medical examination form, and a police clearance certificate. Chongqing University will conduct initial reviews and may invite shortlisted candidates for interviews. Final decisions will be made by the China Scholarship Council, with successful applicants receiving formal admission notifications via email.
Opportunity for Pakistani Students
For Pakistani students, this scholarship presents a valuable pathway to high-quality postgraduate education in China. With full financial support and access to advanced research facilities, the program offers a chance to build academic credentials in fields ranging from engineering and technology to economics and public policy. Given Pakistan’s growing interest in regional academic collaboration and the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), such opportunities can contribute meaningfully to national development and individual career growth.
Application Deadline
The final date to apply for the Chongqing University (CQU-CSC) Scholarship is February 25, 2026 (Beijing Time). Early preparation is advised due to the multi-step application process.
