According to the statistics,Zhejiang University of Science and Technology(ZUST) ranked Top 5 and Top 4 on the full number of international students and degree program students. In the first half year of 2016, the total number is 1224 while the degree number has reached 841. If add together with this september intake students, the ony degree students must be already more than 1000.

 

It is very easy for a student to choose a school to study non-degree language program; The period of study is short , students can transfer school even after one semester and it is very easy to get transferred. But degree program is different, the period is at least 4 years and transfer is always a headache. But why so many degree students choose to study in Zhejiang University of Science and Technology? 

 

1. Quite good location with medium living expense

Zhejiang University of Science and Technology is located in Hangzhou which is next to Shanghai city, a tour place with developed economy and it is where the G20 meeting held. For the living expense, Hangzhou city is not high especially compare with city like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen.

Though study in China is quite cheaper compare to western countries, still it is a big burden for many family. So such a university become a very good choice for many students.

2. Very affordable school fees

Tuition fee for Non-degree program is 13000rmb/year;

Undergraduate program for economis is 16000rmb/year; Engineering and other science program 18000rmb/year

Dorm:6000rmb/year

I think for most family can afford this fee. For eating, students can cook in the kitchen or east in the school restaurant will be much cheaper than eating outside.

3. Various English-taught programs

Currently, ZUST offer many undergraduate programs Taught in English

1) Civil Engineering
2) International Economics and Trade
3) International Marketing
4) Computer Science and Technology (Information Technology)
5) Communication Engineering
6) Information and Computational Science (Statistics and Financial Actuarial Science)
7) Food Science and Engineering
8) Digital Media Technology
9) Applied Physics (laser 3D Technology)
10) Measuring and Control Technology and Instrumentation(Photoelectric Detection Technology)

International students got multi-choice here and students can choose to study with your friends together at same school. That is also a very attractive factor. Stepping into a new country alone is not that easy sometimes that's why many prefer to find a fellow study together.

4. Many types of scholarships are availble, every student can apply.

a. Chinese Government Scholarship

b. Zhejiang Provincial Government Scholarship

c. Confucius Institute Scholarship

d. Scholarship for Outstanding New Students of ZUST

e. Scholarships for Outstanding students

If are freshman,you can apply Type a, Type b, Type d;

If you are studying in the university, you can apply type Type e, Type b.

If you have chinese language background and pass hsk , you can apply Type c.

If you got some potencial talent in arts, science, sports, you can apply Type f.

5. Very affordable school fees

For Chinese language program: 13000CNY PER YEAR

For Undergraduate program:

Economics 16000CNY PER YEAR; Science and Engineering 18000CNY PER YEAR

Dorm fee: 6000CNY PER YEAR; Double room

I think for most famliy can affordable this fee.

 

The above reasons are why more and more international students choose to study degree program in Zhejiang University of Sicence and Technology. We believe this university will become more and more better in the near future.
