Hey guys! Welcome back to China Admissions’ channel with me Nadia, and in this video I will
share with you some of the reasons why you should consider studying in China. But before that,
make sure to subscribe to our youtube channel, like and also share this video.
So, on a daily basis, I get a lot of questions from you guys asking me about why you should
be studying in China, and also what's the benefit of you studying in China.
And actually, there are a lot of reasons why you should be studying China. So, earlier,
we have interviewed some students who have studied in China before to share their experiences,
and we have a compilation video of their opinions regarding why they are studying in China, so you
can actually watch the video here. I will also write the video link on the description box down
below so you can watch it after this. Other than that, I will also share with you the eight reasons
why you should be studying in China. Number one is to learn Chinese language. So, Chinese language is
basically the most spoken language in the whole world, and it is going to be beneficial for you
if you can speak Chinese language. So, not only it's going to be beneficial for your daily life
here in China, but also be beneficial even if you're not in China. So, companies worldwide
wherever they are, are now eagerly looking for people who can speak Chinese language because
more and more international companies are engaged with businesses in China, more and more of them
engage with the companies in China, therefore they want people who can speak Chinese language
and it's going to be a plus point for you if you can speak Chinese language. Definitely,
it's not gonna be an easy journey learning Chinese language, but it is extremely achievable as well.
There are lots of ways you can learn the language, you can enrol for a non-degree Chinese Language
Program, you can even study degree programs and study Chinese language at the same time,
or you can also do an online Chinese language course. So, even if you're not in China and
even if you can't go to China, you can still learn the language through online courses. So, regarding
the programs that you can apply for, whether it's the non-degree Chinese language program
offered by Chinese universities or online Chinese courses, you can actually check it later on our
platform on China Admissions, I’ve also included the link on the description box down below for
you to check after this. Number two, China is the popular destination for international students.
And there are about 500,000 international students studying with Chinese universities now. So, one of
the reasons that's actually related to the reason number three. Number three, Chinese universities
are universities with high reputation. Chinese universities are increasingly well respected,
and the number of Chinese universities included in a major global universities ranking
has risen over the past few years. And besides that, Chinese government has made some initiatives
in the education sector especially in the higher education sector, like the Project 985,
Project 211 and also the C9 League. That helps to boost their reputation and also helps to boost
the performance, and also the academic and research performance for the universities
listed in these initiatives, so they can increase their capacity and capability, and they can also
increase their rankings and reputation in a global scale. Number four, studying in China is actually
relatively affordable. So, if you are going to study non-degree programs like for example:
one semester Chinese Language Program or one year Chinese Language Program, then the tuition fee
roughly starts from only 1,000 USD per semester. Well, if you plan to study degree programs,
so like: Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD in either Chinese-taught or English-taught, the tuition fee
starts from 3,000 USD per year. And that depends on the program you're applying for, and that also
depends on the university that you're applying for. And in terms of the living expenses itself,
it is actually quite affordable to live in China, and roughly you will need about 500 to
700 USD per month. And I have another video where I share with you the information about
the cost of living in China, and also the cost of living in Beijing particularly,
so you can check that out to find out more about the cost of studying in China. But in general,
studying and living in China is considered as relatively affordable and it is way way way more
affordable compared to if you choose to study at other countries like US, UK, Japan or Australia.
Number five, China is a place where you can meet friends from all over the world. Nowadays,
China is one of the most popular destinations for international students to study. Therefore,
you will have the ability to meet friends from literally all over the world. So, you will not
only meet friends from, you know, other Asian countries or like the neighbouring countries
of China, like South Korea, Japan, or maybe some Southeast Asian countries like Thailand, Myanmar,
Vietnam. You will not only meet people from those countries, but you will meet people from literally
anywhere around the world. So for example, you can meet friends from the South Asian countries,
like students from India, from Sri Lanka, from Pakistan, from Bangladesh. You can meet
friends from Europe, so students from Germany, from French, from UK, Latvia, from wherever.
You can meet friends from Middle East countries like those from UAE, those from Yemen, from Iran,
from a lot of countries. And other than that, you can also meet friends from African countries,
and a lot of African students came here to China to study. And you will also meet friends from
America, not only those from the USA, but actually people from Jamaica, people from Mexico, people
from the South American countries and Canada. A lot of them are also studying in China at the
moment. So, like I said, China is indeed a popular destination for students from all over the world.
Not only from other developing countries, but students from the developed countries will also
be interested to study in China, and they are also studying in China. So, I forgot to mention,
you will also be able to meet students from the Australian continent as well, so from Australia,
from New Zealand. I’ve also met students not only from there, but I’ve met students who are
actually from the Pacific Islands. So, I’ve met students who came from Fiji, from Vanuatu, from
different parts of the world. Everybody came and studied in China because not only they want
to study at the highly reputable universities in China, but they will also want to study the
language, and they want to immerse with the culture, and they want to get to know China,
and get more ideas and insight from China that can benefit their life in the future. Number six,
China is a country with fast development. And so, in China, roads, transportation, infrastructure
are the main things that the government focuses at the moment. These are the main
things that the government eagerly develop: so, the constructions of roads, skyscrapers,
infrastructure, transportation system, subways, you name it, everything is happening on a daily
basis here in China. Even in Beijing, where the city is literally one of the most developed cities
in China already, Chinese government are still developing the infrastructure, still developing
the transportation system. They are still on progress in adding more subway stations,
adding more subway lines here in Beijing although it already has a lot of subway stations, also
already have a lot of subway lines that connects from, you know, the North-est part of Beijing to
the South-est part of Beijing. But, they are still developing, they are still continuously
developing it so that the people here can have the best access of transportation and infrastructure,
and it will make their life easier and easier. And not only in Beijing, this development and
construction is also happening in every city in China. Not only it is happening in big cities
like Beijing or Shanghai, but even if you go to the second or third-tier cities like Xiamen,
Chengdu or Guangzhou, you will still be able to see a lot of skyscrapers, good infrastructure,
excellent well-connected transportation system. Number seven is the technological advancement.
So, I believe that probably most of you already heard of China's great technological advancement.
So, yes it's true, in China, the technological advancement is so advanced, it is basically one
of the best right now in the whole world, and they have developed a lot of things
when it's related to the IT and Technology. So for example, just by using your phone,
you will be able to live very conveniently here in China. So, just with your mobile phone, you
will be able to pay for a lot of things: from your groceries, to rent a bike, to pay for your taxi,
even to book or order a taxi, you can pay for your rent, you can pay for your shopping at the market,
you can pay for your visit to the hair salon, you can literally pay everything. You can even
pay for subways and your bus fare using your phone as well. So, it is really amazing - the technology
advancement in China. It is very well developed to make our life easier, and of course, it is going
to be a good opportunity for you to be able to learn from it and to experience that. And perhaps
you could also consider studying degree programs in computer science and technology here in China,
because at the moment, China is literally one of the hotspots when it comes to IT and Technology.
So, number eight, China is basically a relatively safe and stable country. In 2018, China is
considered as one of the safest countries in the whole world. It is based by the fact that in 2017,
the serious crime rates fell by 51%, and people's satisfaction with the public security rose to 95%,
from only 87% in 2012. And besides its rapid development in the economy sector, Chinese
experts do believe that social stability is one of the major achievements in China. In addition, one
of the great examples of how China's technology is so great and so powerful and how they utilise the
technology is actually during this pandemic time. I believe technology plays an important role in
helping Chinese government handle and also contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus here in China.
So, wherever you are in China during this pandemic time, you will need to have a health kit app. So,
it is an app on your smartphone for foreigners, it is usually available on WeChat if you
register your WeChat in China or if you leave in China. So, in a way, before you enter a place,
whether it's a supermarket or museum or malls or theatres or wherever you go, you will need to scan
a QR code so that you are registered and you leave a footprint on where you are going on the day. So
that if something bad happened to you, AKA if you visit a place where there is a coronavirus
outbreak, or if you yourself apparently have the coronavirus, then these data will be used by the
authority to give them more information regarding your location, and so they will be able to stop or
to slow down the spread of the COVID-19 virus. I believe this is one of the great examples of the
technological advancement here in China. And not only this, there are a lot more great technology
here in China that you can definitely learn from and you can experience when you're in China. So,
in conclusion, studying in China is an adventure of a lifetime because you will get endless travel
opportunities. You will be able to visit a lot of beautiful places here in China, and then you will
be able to taste the delicious Chinese cuisines as well. There are so many different type of Chinese
cuisines that you can taste here in China, and you will never be able to taste the same thing twice
because there are just so many variety of it. And you will be able to meet friends literally from
all over the world because China nowadays is one of the most popular destination for international
students. And last but not least, studying in China will help you develop a global mindset.
Developing the global mindset will definitely be beneficial for you - for your life, for
your future career. In the world that we live in right now, not only we are going to engage or have
relationship with people in our own countries, but we will also do the same with people in other
countries as well. The world nowadays is well connected and with the help of the internet,
it is even faster to get connected with other people from different parts of the world,
that's why developing a global mindset will be the key for you, it is going to
be very crucial for your future. And other than that, it will also be very beneficial for you
if you learn other cultures as well, so you can have a broader knowledge and you can also broaden
your horizon. So, those are all the top 8 reasons why international students study in China. And,
if you notice my hand gestures throughout this video, that's actually the Chinese hand gestures
for numbers. So, that's actually quite different than the hand gestures used in many other
countries including from my own home country. That's why it is always fun and it is always
exciting to learn more about new cultures, about other countries’ culture so you can have a better
understanding as well. In the end, I hope this video convinced you enough to consider
studying in China, and if you still have other questions or other concerns, or if you want to see
