Work and study at the same time?

[Ren_st]

Has anybody here have experience working (possibly full time) and studying chinese at a university? Are there any universities in Shanghai that offer night time language courses?

I want to study a year of Chinese in Shanghai under the CSC scholarship but also work a internship/full time position if I can find one. How feasible is this?

Thanks all !

If you are studying on CSC scholarship you will have a student visa. You cannot (legally) work on a student visa. I'm sure you know the scholarship includes a minor monthly stipend. Use your time to study, there is always time to work later in life.

Can you at least work part-time on a CSC scholarship?

you cannot legally work part-time or full-time while on a CSC scholarship because your entry/stay in China will be on a student visa. If the government gives you a student visa, they expect you to study.

On this site, there is a huge section on visas. I suggest you read some of the previous posts.

Is it hard to convert the student visa to a work(z) visa if I eventually decide to stay after my study and work later on?
