Questions
Straight answers, before you commit anything
The questions students and their parents actually ask us. If yours is not here, send it over and we will answer it properly.
After the degree
Is an MBBS degree from China accepted in Pakistan?
Graduates of recognised Chinese medical universities sit the licensing examination in Pakistan like any other foreign graduate. We only work with universities listed by WHO, FAIMER and ECFMG, and we will show you the listing for any university before you apply. Licensing rules do change, so confirm the current requirements with the regulator as well as with us.
Language
Do I need to know Chinese before I go?
Not for the English-medium programmes. Some universities do not require HSK-4 in the first year at all. You will still study Chinese during the degree, because you need it for clinical work with patients.
Is admission possible without passing HSK?
Yes, for English-medium programmes. You will normally be required to pass HSK within the first year after admission, and most medical universities expect HSK 4 before clinical rotations begin. For Chinese-taught degrees you need the certificate before you start.
Money
What does it really cost per year?
Most MBBS programmes we work with fall between ¥24,000 and ¥33,000 per year including hostel. Food and personal expenses are extra. Every programme page lists the full breakdown, and we will tell you the total before you commit to anything.
Are scholarships genuinely available?
Yes. Provincial, university and performance-based scholarships are real, and some of our nursing and bachelor places are fully funded. Average marks do not disqualify you — the requirements differ by scholarship, and we will tell you honestly which ones you can realistically get.
What marks and age do I need for a scholarship?
It varies by scholarship. A strong academic record helps, and around 65% or a GPA of 2.5 out of 4.0 is a common minimum. Age limits are usually 18 to 25 for a bachelor, 18 to 35 for a master's and 18 to 40 for a PhD, though some universities are flexible. Many scholarships look at overall potential, not marks alone — send us your profile and we will tell you what is realistic.
Do I have to pay a deposit before I travel?
It depends on the programme, and we say so on each page. Some, like the Fujian language course, take no deposit at all — you pay the university directly. Others, like Shenyang City College, take a small deposit at pre-admission which is deducted from your tuition, with the balance paid after you arrive. Nobody should ever ask you for the full fee up front.
Arriving
What happens when I land in China?
Someone meets you at the airport and takes you to your campus. We help with hostel allocation, the arrival medical check, residence permit, SIM card and bank account in the first week.
Life in China
Can I work part time while studying?
There are rules about how and where international students may work, and they are enforced. We will explain what is allowed at your university and city rather than guess, and help you find something legal near campus.
Is halal food easy to find?
In most university cities yes, and many campuses have a halal canteen. We will tell you honestly what the situation is in the specific city you are considering before you choose it.
Applying
How long does the whole application take?
From sending us your documents to holding a visa is usually two to three months, though it depends on the university and the embassy. Language programmes move faster — some issue pre-admission within a day and JW202 within a week.
How do I know an agent is genuine?
Ask for four things in writing: the university name, the exact programme, the total cost, and the recognition listing you can check yourself. Any honest consultant gives you all four without hesitating. Verify the university link independently before you send money or documents to anyone — including us.
Visa
Does an admission letter mean my visa is guaranteed?
No. The university decides your admission; the embassy decides your visa, separately. Visa approval depends on complete, genuine documents and on the embassy's own assessment. Anyone who guarantees you a visa is not being straight with you.
Your question is not here?
Ask it. We answer honestly even when the answer is not what you were hoping for.
