Study in China for Moroccan students

The Chinese education system and admission routes

The Chinese education system is one of the most structured and advanced in Asia. It has developed remarkably over recent decades and attracts thousands of international students every year – including a growing number of Moroccan students.

What makes this system particularly accessible is the flexibility of its admission requirements: several pathways are offered depending on each student’s academic level, without the strict constraints found in other countries.

In fact, even a student with a modest average can join a recognised Chinese university, with the option of studying in English or Chinese. Depending on the strength of the application, it is often possible to obtain a partial or full scholarship.

Available pathways

Preparatory year (Foundation / 预科)
Recommended for students who wish to take their programme in Chinese. It lets you learn the language and acquire the academic foundations for your future field of study. It generally lasts one year and is an essential step in settling in.
At Campus International, we guarantee admission to universities offering this Chinese-language preparatory year, whether it is compulsory or optional.

Bachelor’s degree (本科)
Open to baccalaureate holders. Lasting 4 years, it covers most disciplines: science, engineering, medicine, economics…
Available in English or Chinese, depending on the university and the chosen specialisation.

Master’s degree (硕士)
Intended for students holding a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent.
It lasts between a year and a half and 3 years. Many universities offer partial or full scholarships, sometimes covering all fees.
Courses can be taken in English or Chinese.

Doctorate (PhD / 博士)
Reserved for Master’s degree holders, this cycle lasts between 3 and 4 years.
It attracts more and more international students thanks to the abundance of fully funded programmes, including accommodation, health insurance and sometimes even a monthly salary.

All students who enrol through Campus International automatically receive a scholarship (partial or full) based on their application, with no high-average requirement. We take care of selecting the ideal university, applying for the scholarship and following up the application through to final admission.

Admission requirements for Moroccan students in China

The admission process for Chinese universities is known for its clarity and simplicity. Unlike other countries, China requires no blocked bank account and no official financial guarantor, which considerably lightens the process for Moroccan families.

Basic documents required for registration

• Copy of your baccalaureate diploma or a certificate of enrolment in the second year of the baccalaureate.
• Copy of a valid passport
• Secondary school transcripts
• ID photos on a white background.
• Simple medical certificate (we make it easy to obtain this document)

Once these documents have been gathered, Campus International takes care of all the following steps:

1. Submitting the admission application to the university best suited to the student’s profile
2. Following up with the institution until the official admission is received
3. Preparing the visa application, including the official invitation letter (JW202)
4. Full support with the student visa:
   • Filling in the forms.
   • Booking the appointment.
   • Reviewing and organising the file before submission

We never leave students to face the paperwork alone: we provide personalised follow-up from the first step until the visa is obtained, with quick turnaround times and no complex financial conditions.

Types of scholarships available in China

Chinese universities offer several types of scholarships, tailored to each student’s academic profile and chosen programme. This financial aid makes it possible to reduce study costs considerably, or even eliminate them entirely in some cases.

Partial scholarship
It lets you reduce tuition and/or accommodation fees. This is the most common option, ideal for easing your budget.

Full scholarship (Free Tuition)
It covers all tuition fees, so you can study for free, paying only your personal expenses and accommodation.

Full scholarship with accommodation (All Free)
This option covers tuition fees and university accommodation. You no longer have to worry about the two main expenses of your studies.

Full scholarship with monthly support
This is a comprehensive scholarship that includes tuition fees, accommodation and a monthly allowance. It gives you the financial security to focus on your studies and settle in well.

At Campus International, we include the scholarship application in your registration file right from the start.
We guide each student towards the institutions that offer the best chance of obtaining funding suited to their academic profile.

Length of study in China by level

The Chinese education system is clear and well structured when it comes to the length of each cycle, which lets you plan your academic path precisely, whether you aim for a single degree or want to go on to further study.

Preparatory year (Foundation / 预科)

Duration: 1 year
It is generally devoted to learning Chinese or to academic upgrading in the chosen specialisation, particularly for newcomers.

Bachelor’s degree

Duration: 4 years
Intended for baccalaureate holders, it covers most scientific, technical, economic and medical disciplines.

Master’s degree

Duration: 1.5 to 3 years
Reserved for students who have obtained a Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent qualification. It is a more specialised, in-depth cycle.

Doctorate (PhD)

Duration: 3 to 4 years
Open to Master’s degree holders, it often comes with a full scholarship covering tuition fees, accommodation and health insurance.

We guide each student towards the cycle best suited to their profile, while giving them a complete picture of the duration, requirements and career prospects before the registration process even begins.

Studying in English and learning Chinese

Chinese universities offer a wide range of programmes taught in English, particularly in scientific, technical and economic fields. This makes China a destination accessible even to students who do not speak Chinese at the outset.

English-taught programmes

• Taught entirely in English
• In most cases, no certificate such as IELTS or TOEFL is required, which makes access easier and reduces costs
• Ideal for students who want to start their studies without going through a language preparatory year

However, some top universities (especially in medicine or at Master’s level) may require proof of English proficiency. The accepted tests are:

• IELTS
• TOEFL iBT
• Duolingo English Test (accepted by more and more universities, particularly for Bachelor’s degrees)

Examples of universities that may require a certificate:

• Peking University of Medical Sciences
• Tsinghua University
• Shanghai Jiao Tong University
• Zhejiang University

Each institution sets its own thresholds depending on the chosen programme.
At Campus International, we help each student find the university that matches their current language level.

Chinese-language preparatory year

If you want to study in Chinese or learn a strategic language, you can take an intensive preparatory year.
This year is an excellent opportunity to settle in, letting you immerse yourself in the local culture, better understand the way of life in China and improve your chances of accessing subsidised programmes.

Whether you choose to study in English or Chinese, we guarantee you a suitable admission and help you understand the advantages of each option so you can make an informed choice in line with your academic goals.

Tuition fees in China

One of the great advantages of studying in China is the affordable cost of studies, especially as most Moroccan students obtain a partial or full scholarship, which reduces expenses considerably.

How are fees calculated?

Initial fees at Chinese universities generally range from:

3,000 to 7,000 dollars per year, depending on the specialisation (medical and engineering programmes often being more expensive).

But these amounts do not necessarily reflect what you will actually pay, as a large share of students receive a scholarship.

What is the real difference?

Thanks to our support at Campus International, most Moroccan students receive:

• A partial scholarship that significantly reduces fees.
• Or a full or comprehensive scholarship covering 100% of tuition fees.

The result: a student with a good scholarship can study for less than 500 dollars per year, instead of several thousand.

We don’t just present the prices: we work from the outset to secure a suitable scholarship, and we guide you towards the universities that are most advantageous, both financially and academically.

Cost of living and accommodation in China

Although China is one of the world’s largest economies, the cost of living for students remains very affordable, which makes settling in easier and lets you focus on your studies without excessive financial pressure.

University accommodation

Most Moroccan students opt for university halls of residence, as they are economical, secure and well equipped.

• Monthly cost: between 500 and 1,000 MAD (depending on the city and the type of room – single or shared)
• Rooms generally include: bed, desk, wardrobe, air conditioning, internet, security, cleaning and access to shared facilities

Please note: many students enrolled through Campus International receive scholarships that fully cover accommodation, which guarantees them stability from the moment they arrive.

Food and daily needs

With a budget of 1,000 to 1,500 MAD per month, you can cover your basic needs: food, hygiene and everyday products.
Cooking for yourself or eating in university canteens helps you keep spending under control.

Transport

China has a modern and very affordable public transport network.

• Monthly transport pass: between 30 and 60 MAD depending on the city

Health insurance

Most admissions include student health insurance, which covers emergency care and accidents for the entire duration of your stay.

We help our students plan their monthly budget realistically, suggesting cities and living options suited to their profile and resources.

Working during and after your studies in China

China offers a balanced setting for both study and professional development. International students can work part-time legally during their studies, and even stay on after graduating thanks to a range of job opportunities.

Working during your studies

Under Chinese regulations, international students can:

• Work up to 20 hours per week during university semesters
• Work full-time during official holidays

These jobs allow students to:

• Integrate into local society
• Improve their language skills
• Cover part of their day-to-day expenses

Working after graduation

Chinese universities, particularly in large cities, have partnerships with local and international companies.
They organise career guidance workshops and job fairs, and support students in their job search.

A graduate can apply for a work visa if they receive a formal job offer, particularly in the following fields:

• Technology.
• International trade.
• Translation.
• Teaching.

International recognition of degrees

Degrees obtained from Chinese universities are recognised in many countries, giving students:

• The opportunity to continue their studies elsewhere
• Or to look for work internationally, particularly in Europe, Asia or Morocco

We support our students throughout their university studies, helping them discover internship and job opportunities and preparing them for the local and global job market.

Registration process and student visa for China

At Campus International, we have set up a simple, efficient process to support Moroccan students at every step of their registration at a Chinese university, with no complex administrative burden on the student.

Steps to follow

1. Sending the basic documents
   You send us a copy of your national identity card or passport, along with your baccalaureate diploma or a certificate of enrolment in the 2nd year of the baccalaureate (depending on your situation).

1. Opening your file & searching for a scholarship
   As soon as we receive them, we open a file and immediately start searching for a scholarship that matches the specialisation or city you want.
   You can tell us your preferences, or let us suggest the best options for your level.

1. Choosing the university and the scholarship
   After reviewing your file, we send you a personalised list of universities, cities and available types of scholarship.
   You choose what suits you, with the option of applying for several options in parallel to maximise your chances.
   We take care of preparing the full academic file and submitting it officially to the universities concerned.

1. Receiving your admission and the official invitation (JW202)
   Once you are admitted, the university issues an official JW202 invitation letter, an essential document for applying for a student visa at the Chinese embassy.

1. Preparing the visa application
   As soon as the JW202 arrives, we handle the entire procedure:

• Filling in the forms.
• Booking an appointment at the visa centre.
• A complete review of the file.
• Personalised advice for the submission.

You have nothing to do but wait for the visa to be issued, generally within 5 working days of submission.

Every step is followed with precision and professionalism, to guarantee a confirmed admission and a quickly issued visa, with no errors or administrative obstacles.

At Campus International, our mission does not end once the visa has been obtained. On the contrary, we consider on-the-ground support to be the most crucial step in ensuring the student’s success.
