China Scholarships Council (CSC) / Victoria University Scholarship Scheme

Scholarship level: Doctoral

Closing date(s): CSC has its own closing date for applications. Applicants are required to complete and submit an application for PhD admission. This application should ideally be for either the 1 July or 1 November admission round to allow sufficient time for the University to make an offer prior to the CSC deadline. Those who miss the 1 November round may exceptionally apply in the 1 March round, provided that both (i) the application is submitted on or before 1 February and also (ii) you inform [email protected] immediately upon submitting your application so that the admission team can process your application as an exceptional case.

Tenure: For candidates who are succesful in gaining admission into the PhD programme, the University will provide tuition fees for up to 48 months. CSC will consider applications for living expenses of those receiving these Victoria University of Wellington fees awards as prescribed from time to time by the Chinese government (which includes student health insurance), a ‘round trip’ airfare to Wellington by the most economical route and visa application fees.
