Studying In China - English Taught Courses At University (General Advice)

When this sort of topic last arose, the universal advice was: don't. Certainly, I've not come across anyone who did a first degree entirely in China.

I believe the suggestion was to find a good UK university that has an arrangement with a Chinese one to send students there for part of their course, or simply to do a vocational language course in China, but your degree all in the UK.

I would be very suspicious of any first degree course taught in English, and, in any case, if you really wanted to do a first degree in China, I think it would have to be because you wanted to learn the language. I think prospective employers would also be suspicious of such degrees, in part because they have no experience of them.

Postgraduate study may be different, in that the university wants to benefit. more than financially, from such students.

You haven't indicated your strong subjects, but I don't think employers would give much weight to a Chinese science degree. Any benefit you might get would be in terms of your experience outside of formal education, or the diversity of learning skills implied by having language abilities as well. That's another reason for not going to a course in English.

If you do study in Chinese, you should budget for doing an intensive language course for the first year. The language requirements for starting science subjects are lower than for other subjects, but they are still quite high.

The thread I'm thinking about that discussed this sort of subject before was the one about scholarships for bachelor degrees.
