Study Abroad Programs in China

Why NOT study abroad in China? In the wake of a tumultuous twentieth century, which witnessed the gradual overthrow of dynastic rule by a communist regime, China has once again rapidly developed into a world superpower. Standing tall with the world’s largest population, second largest land area as well as economy, China is indisputably the most important player in modern global affairs, and an incredibly valuable place to study abroad. But more than that, it is an ancient empire rich with cultural integrity, awe-inspiring natural beauty, and an infinitely fascinating history to be enlightened by.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! China is undoubtedly one of the most significant players in today's global affairs, making it a very marketable destination for international students who wants to study abroad.

Shanghai, Beijing, and Hong Kong continue to be the top study abroad destinations, however, specialized programs may be offered in sites outside of big cities, in smaller towns, or in rural areas.

Although China has one of the world's largest economies, it is still developing, thus, having lower living costs than most Western countries. You may consult your program providers for more information on scholarships available for studying in China.

Studying English in China is a great opportunity, not only because of the affordability of education but also because of the growing demand for English speakers and the chance to experience Chinese culture and language first-hand.

F Visas are required for students who plan to study in China for less than six months, and X visas for over six months. Consider consulting your program provider for more details on visa policies, supporting documents, and other requirements.

LTL Taipei Experience

April 28, 2025by: Marcus McGovern - United KingdomProgram: LTL Language School || Learn Chinese (11 Cities)
10

I have loved my 10 week course at LTL Language School in Taipei. The course has been tailored to my Mandarin level and specific learning goals, and I have enjoyed the freedom of the classes. The teachers are willing to accomdated for any specific topics or language skills which you want to learn. My teachers have been Jessica and Lin, who have both been amazing. They explain difficult concepts clearly, adapt the classes to any requests and both provide very enjoyable classes. Additionally, the staff, namely Riona, Alin, Hannah, Greta, Marine, and Ottavia, create a truly supportive and engaging atmosphere. They organise regular activities for the students such as mahjong and night market visits. There are also daily lunch outings, allowing students to sample local food and practice Mandarin in everyday situations. The homestay arrangement facilitated by LTL has also significantly enhanced my language immersion. The school environment is friendly and open, it is a perfect space for learning. I recommend LTL to anyone thinking about studying Mandarin in Taipei.
