The Chinese Government Scholarship undergraduate programs are exclusively delivered in Chinese. Scholarship recipients pursuing bachelor's degrees must complete a one-year preparatory study at designated institutions. Formal degree studies may commence only after passing the preparatory assessment.

For graduate and advanced studies, Chinese is generally the language of instruction, though some institutions offer English-taught programs in specific disciplines (detailed information available at http://www.campuschina.org).

Scholarship recipients opting for Chinese-taught programs with insufficient Chinese proficiency must complete 1-2 years of mandatory language training before beginning degree studies, contingent upon meeting their host university's admission standards; failure to comply will result in termination of scholarship eligibility. Specifically, students in STEM, economics, management, law, or arts disciplines require 1 year of Chinese study, while those in humanities, history, philosophy, or traditional Chinese medicine programs may need up to 2 years, with exemptions granted to students in English-taught programs or those already meeting Chinese proficiency requirements.
