What is the Study Chine Programme?
The Study China Programme is a three week course held during every Easter and
Summer vacation period. It is aimed at all undergraduate students, regardless of
what subject they are studying. Students at HND and Bachelors’ level are eligible to
apply for the programme.
Successful candidates will be learning Chinese language, attending lectures on
Chinese culture, society, history and economy and visiting local businesses. Host
universities are based in Beijing, Shanghai, Jinan, Hangzhou and Nanjing.
For more information about the programme please visit the Study Chine Programme
official website at www.studychina.org.uk.
Who funds it?
The costs of the programme are covered by the government funding bodies; the
Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills, the Scottish Government and the
Department for Employment and Learning in Northern Ireland.
Accommodation, food, tuition and excursions are all paid for. However, students
have to pay the cost of getting themselves to China – flights, visas and travel
insurance. We regret that no funds are available from the International Office.
However, students can contact the Alumni Office to discuss the availability of a
Placement grant - http://alumni.bath.ac.uk/NetCommunity/SSLPage.aspx?pid=459
