Vice-Chancellor's Mandarin Scholarships

Open to current students - Summer 2013

The Vice-Chancellor Professor Neil Gorman is delighted to announce that once again scholarships are being offered to NTU students wishing to study summer language courses in Mandarin at Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU) in China.

BLCU is one of China's most prestigious universities, located in the heart of Beijing. It specialises in teaching Mandarin to foreign students and attracts students from all over the world.

Up to ten scholarships are available which will cover return flights, tuition fees and accommodation. These are open to registered NTU students with a demonstrable interest in China or the Chinese language. Students do not necessarily have to speak Chinese as BLCU runs courses from beginners level. However, students who are currently learning Chinese are particularly welcome to apply, and those selected will be invited to participate in a short preparatory workshop series at NTU prior to departure.

The language programmes will take place during July and August (after graduation), so successful candidates need to be available during this period to travel to China.

The closing date for submission of your application is 2 pm on Friday 12 April 2013.

The interview date is Thursday 9 May 2013 and will be held at the Clifton campus.

Applications can now be made via our online form.

The scheme is open to all students registered for an NTU degree - this includes undergraduate and postgraduate students. It does not however include exchange students or students on franchised programmes.

Students must be available for travel to China during July - August 2013 (after graduation)

Students must be in possession of a valid passport.
