  1. CSCA Test Transcript(s)

    Learn more about the CSCA test >>

    • You need to take the official CSCA test organized by the Chinese government and submit the corresponding subject result transcript(s) when applying.
    • The test covers Chinese (Humanities and STEM Chinese), Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. Mathematics is required for all programs, while other subjects depend on the university’s specific requirements.
    • We are updating detailed information for each university, including the required subjects you have to take for each program and their score requirements. Once the updates are ready, you can check the attachment and information here for this university for the latest information. If no attachment is available yet, it usually means the university has not announced further details.
    • Applicants applying for English-taught undergraduate programs do not need to take the professional Chinese test; applicants applying for a bachelor's degree in Chinese language can be exempted from the professional Chinese test if they can provide a valid HSK Level 4 score report. In the basic subjects, regardless of the applied major, mathematics is a compulsory subject; in addition, applicants for science, engineering, agriculture, and medicine-related majors are generally required to choose at least one of the above two subjects -- physics or chemistry. The test for mathematics, physics and chemistry are provided in both Chinese and English, and applicants can choose the language of the test according to the teaching language requirements.
