If you're living outside, you can probably live off about 300 or 400 USD per month. But if you're
living in the university, in the dormitory, then you can even spend like 5 USD per day.
Hi guys! So, a lot of you are looking for low-cost programmes in China,
and today I’m going to introduce six of the lowest cost, most affordable universities in China. If
you want to study in a low-cost university, the number one way that you can save money
is to get a scholarship. We have a video here which has more information about scholarships.
On our platform, we also have listed scholarships and more information on how you can apply. So, I
really suggest you can check it out, because this is the best way to save money. If you would get a
scholarship, normally it can cover your tuition fee, but sometimes it can also cover your living
expenses. They can get paid a monthly stipend of some different money depending on the program,
free accommodation, and also you can get other expenses covered. So, this is like the number
one way you can save money. The second way if you don't get a scholarship, is to choose universities
that have the lowest cost programs. So, I’m going to introduce six of these low cost programs. So,
the first of these is Jiangsu University. And Jiangsu University is in Zhenjiang, and this
is one of the lowest cost universities in China. One of the reasons is because the living cost in
Zhenjiang is really affordable. So, I’m going to put into USD. The living cost is really
affordable, so the accommodation is very low cost. Like, I’m based in Beijing, and it's much
cheaper in Zhenjiang to live in accommodation. But you can also live in the university campus,
which has cheap accommodation. The main expenses that you're going to pay when you're in university
is the tuition fee, the accommodation and living expenses. So, those are the three main expenses
that you're going to pay. So, let's have a look. Yeah, different programs have different costs. So,
normally for like a Chinese program, it's going to be 8,000 RMB per semester. In most
of the universities in China, it's pretty much standardised at that. But if you want to apply
for a Bachelor program, the lowest cost is going to be about 20,000 RMB, which is about 3,000 USD.
For a Master's program, it's going to be similar, about 20,000 RMB. And for a PhD, also about 20,000
RMB. So, these have some of the lowest costs. And if you want to study MBBS, then it's going to be
a bit higher. Definitely costs more to study intensive medicine, but this also has very
low cost MBBS programs. So for example, if you want to study one of the most popular programs,
if it was like Bachelor's for example, then you want to study like civil engineering, then in
Jiangsu University, then the cost is like 3,000 USD. And you can choose your own currency here.
So if it's in Chinese Yuan, that would be 20,000 RMB, and then you can change like whatever your
currency is. You can have a look on the program here, and we also have listed the information
about the accommodation in China. So, you can see this university, the accommodation is really
really affordable. So, if you're going to stay in university accommodation, it is like 4,500
RMB for one year accommodation in the university. So, this is like what you can spend in Beijing on
the accommodation for one month. If you're outside accommodation, but in Jiangsu University, then
this is like one year. So, all of the universities have the accommodation really heavily subsidised,
so it's cheaper for students. So, you don't need to spend as much as if you're living outside. So,
if you're staying in short term, it's a bit more expensive. But if you're staying in long term,
as you can see, the price is really low. Because the campus is quite big, then they have a lot of
accommodation for students. And it's not right in the middle of the city, it's in a big campus.
Like, you want to choose universities that are not in the centre of big cities
if you want to save money on accommodation. And also, you don't want to choose cities that are
like the biggest cities in China. For example Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong is
much more expensive. So, you want to choose smaller cities that are going to be a lot cheaper.
And I visited Jiangsu, I visited Zhenjiang, I visited most of the universities in China,
and it's really affordable just to eat in a restaurant. You can have a really good quality
meal for cheap price. On the university, the food is also really heavily subsidised,
so it's really cheap. If you're living outside, you can probably live off about 300 or 400 USD per
month on living expenses. But if you're living in the university, in the dormitory, then you can
even spend like 5 USD per day on the food in the university because it's really really subsidised
and it's really cheap. One meal - you can spend like 15 or 20 RMB, you can get a decent meal in
the university canteen. And a lot of students, if you want to save money, this is a great thing to
do. Like, go to a low-cost university in a smaller city, and you can live in the accommodation and
you can eat in the university canteen, and you can definitely save a lot of money and
study really hard and have great resources. So, this is one affordable university. And for the
MBBS, it's also very cheap as well, like it's one of the cheapest. So, I’m just going to go to
another one for MBBS because I know this is really popular for students. And this is Jinzhou Medical
University. And this is in Jinzhou, which is in Dalian province. And this university also has
very low cost. This is a really popular program for students and it's very affordable. It’s got
a nice campus, you can see some photos of the university here. And the tuition for MBBS program
is very affordable, and you're not going to find a cheaper MBBS program in China,
it’s going to be difficult. And if you compare this to other countries, this is so affordable,
it's amazing. And yeah, so this is some more information. And the accommodation is also very
affordable, so it's 5,500 RMB per year. If you're sharing but if you want to have your own room,
you have to pay double that, so it's like 11,000 RMB. So, it's up to you if you want to share,
or if you're able to share and you want to pay a bit more, or if you want to save money and have a
nice roommate as a friend. So, this is some other university which is really affordable in Hangzhou.
And this is ZUST, which has very good programs and it's very affordable. It has a very big,
beautiful campus and it's a very good program to study in. Also, I should introduce that there are
scholarships available here. Jiangsu University - if you apply for Jiangsu University on China
Admissions platform, you will automatically get a presidential scholarship, which will give you
a discount on the fee so it's even cheaper. And ZUST, they also do have scholarships. So,
you can find the information here. And the price of the accommodation is 400 RMB per month, which
is about 62 USD. So, it's a similar price to the other universities on the accommodation, so it's
very affordable. I’m going to introduce a few more programs that are very affordable, and this one is
Ningbo University. So, here you can see the price of the university is very affordable. Ningbo is
like a slightly bigger city than Zhenjiang, so the expenses are a bit more than in Zhenjiang.
But still, it's really affordable especially compared to Shanghai and Beijing. You can see
the accommodation is a little bit more expensive, it's like 900 RMB per month, but it's still really
affordable. And they also have a really nice campus. So, I visited most of these universities
that I’m mentioning, and they're great places to study, like really cool environment. Ningbo is a
great place to study as well. I’m going to introduce two more universities. So,
Beijing Language and Culture College is another very affordable university. And I know that I said
the living cost in Beijing is quite expensive, but this is a very good choice because it's actually
not in the centre of Beijing, it's a bit further away. So, it has more accommodation, which is
a lot cheaper, and they also do have scholarships. So, you can check out the accommodation here.
If you're sharing with four students, then the price is 1,800 RMB per semester. So, you can spend
like about 600 USD in a year sharing with three other students in your own accord. This university
also has a scholarship with Tianjin University. So if you study here, you can have the opportunity
to get a scholarship, and you can also study like a Chinese programme here and then go to
Tianjin University with a scholarship. And then I’m going to introduce Northwestern Polytechnical
University, which is in Xi’an, which is a very beautiful city, it used to be the capital city of
China. So, this is Northwestern Polytechnical University. It’s a very beautiful city,
it used to be the capital city of China a long time ago. It’s in the West of China,
and they also have very affordable tuition fee and lots of scholarships as well, like many different
scholarships for students. So, this is a great place to study, and it's got a nice beautiful
campus. They have different different campuses, like a few different campuses in the city.
So you can, you can find the information here about the program, and the price is 600 RMB per
month for full accommodation. This is a bit more expensive than the other cities, but it's also
very affordable, and the living cost is also much lower in Xi'an than in Beijing, Shanghai.
And they do have a lot of scholarships, so you can also have the opportunity to get a scholarship.
