3). Scholarships for Engineering Students in China

About the scholarships available for studying in China, there are many types and amounts. As for undergraduate students, the most common scholarship is a tuition-free scholarship, which means you only have to pay your own tuition and living expenses and other expenses after scholarships. There will also be some schools that offer scholarships which is free of tuition and accommodation. But there are fewer programs in this category if study engineering in the English medium. Of course, if you are willing to study engineering in the Chinese medium, then you can also apply for a Chinese Government Full Scholarship. As for masters and doctors, you have a good chance of getting a full scholarship with a monthly stipend no matter in English medium or Chinese medium as long as you have an excellent academic performance. If you don't know where to find an engineer's scholarship in China, you can try this website.

4). Engineering Program Fee Structure in China

Tuition:The tuition fee of engineering programs in China, as you can see in the above forms, vary greatly from school to school. But after scholarship, it’s very cheap to study engineering in China.

Accommodation Fee: The Chinese accommodation fees charged by different schools are much different. In some developed cities, the price of everything is expensive, so accommodation fees there also expensive. But if with scholarship, It’s cheap or even free. Some schools offer several different types of hostels for international students such as single, double, triple, and quadruple rooms, all is possible. Some schools such as Tongji University, Zhengzhou University, and Xiamen University, etc. allow students to live off-campus, so you can have more types of accommodation in China to choose from. The Chinese school dormitory generally provides a separate toilet/bathroom, the public kitchen, the public washing machine, and so on equipment which is kind of convenient. However, the use of high-power appliances is usually not allowed in the school dormitory in China. If you pay for a full year's accommodation in one lump sum, you may be able to enjoy a little discount. Whether staying on-campus or off-campus, sometimes you need to pay an accommodation deposit. When you check out, if there is nothing wrong with your room, you will be refunded. If you don't bring bedding with you, then some schools charge it hundreds of RMB or you can buy from the local market.

Application Fee: When you apply to a Chinese university, you need to pay an application fee with the amount ranges from 200 to 800 yuan (non-refundable) then teacher will check your application. Some schools do not charge application fees while some schools charge an application fee after you arrive in China. This is how university application fees cost in China.

Registration Fee: When you arrive at your university for registration, you may have to pay a registration fee for China university which ranges from 0-800yuan usually. Most schools charge registration fees at the beginning of each semester/year. 

Insurance Fee: All international students who study in China must buy international student insurance. The two most common insurance charge standards for international students in China are 800 yuan per year and 1,000 yuan per year. 

Medical Examination Fee: When you arrive at your university for the first time, you will be asked to have another medical examination locally. The cost is less than 1000yuan I guess.

Residence Permit Fee: When you arrive in China, your visa is usually valid for 30 days if it’s an X1 visa, which means that you need to change to a residence permit within 30 days. Your school teacher will lead you to get a residence permit which usually costs 400 to 800yuan each time.

Book Fees: Some schools charge the book fee at one time while some schools do not force students to buy new textbooks. Book fees in China can range from a few hundred RMB to several thousand RMB.

Living Fee: As an ordinary international student in China, I usually spend 1300yuan per month as a living fee. For other students, I guess 800-3000yuan is enough to live in any city in China for most students.

In general, the fees for studying engineering in China is not too much. In addition to the price advantage, China has many other advantages for international student to study in.

While some schools do not require students to purchase new textbooks, others charge the book cost all at once. In China, the cost of a book might vary from a few hundred to several thousand RMB skibidi toilet.

Depending on the college/university and the location in China, yearly tuition for bachelor's in engineering ranges from US $4,200 to $9,000. Master's and doctoral programs in engineering may have higher rates than bachelor's programs.
