Questions

Answers before you ask

How do I apply to a Chinese university through Soley?
Pick a program, send your nationality, grades, and target city via the inquiry form. We match you to a live 2026 seat, review your documents, submit to the university, and guide you through the admission notice, JW202 form, and embassy X visa.
What documents do I need to apply?
Every application needs a valid passport copy, passport photo, highest diploma, and academic transcripts. Master's and PhD files also need two professor recommendation letters, a study plan, and a CV. Some programs require a physical exam and non-criminal record.
Are there full scholarships to study in China?
Yes. Several 2026 files are fully funded — Tongji University (A-class covers tuition, insurance, dorm, plus a living allowance of 2,500–3,500 RMB/month), Xi'an Jiaotong University (up to 25,000 RMB/year Belt & Road stipend), and a fully funded English-taught TCM bachelor in Chengdu.
Do I need the CSCA exam?
Not always. Several programs — Huzhou bachelor and master, the Chengdu TCM bachelor, and Chinese-language years — do not require the CSCA. Each program card is labelled 'No CSCA' where the exam is waived.
What visa do I need to study in China?
Courses longer than 180 days need an X1 visa with a JW201/JW202 form; shorter courses use X2. After the university issues your JW202, you apply at the Chinese embassy in your country and register at the university within 30 days of arrival.
Does Soley help after I arrive in China?
Yes. Arrival services include airport pickup, SIM card and bank account setup, campus registration support, dorm move-in assistance, document translation, and a 24/7 first-week helpline.
