CSC Two Scholarship Programs

[yes]

Hi everyone,

 

Wondering if it's possible to do a non-degree program such as the 1 year Chinese Language course and then apply for a Masters degree program straight after?

 

Is this possible?

You can apply for the masters degree directly. If your Chinese is not good enough, based on your HSK level, they will provide you with complimentary one-year language course.

As for applying for scholarships two years in a row, there is a belief that they are reluctant to give it to people who are applying for another scholarship while receiving the other. It was the case for me, I was applying for CSC scholarship for my masters degree while doing language program in Chongqing and didn't get it - at the end i got the university scholarship instead. But there have been exception from that rule and there are always different types of scholarships to consider, i.e. municipal/provincional/university etc 

[yes]

@pan.kasper In your specific scenario, you applied for your masters degree while completing the language program?

I would think they look at applicants differently if someone was to apply after they finished their previous scholarship VS someone who is already on a scholarship.

I wouldn't know but that would make more sense because I heard it only matters if the program you are applying for is a higher degree

That's right, it was my second semester at 重大 when i submitted all my applications for the masters program. I think it was around March.

I think so too. I know a bunch of people who had didn't get the scholarship for which they were applying while finishing the other one - for most people it's the language program and then masters degree. Then they had to return to their own countries and apply next year. But then again, I also heard of people for whom it actually worked and they were continuously receiving grants for more than one degree.
