Mainland Exchange Program

Students can only go on semester exchange once in our program – Overseas or Mainland Exchange, but not both. The Mainland exchange CGA requirement is also 2.65, except for Fudan, Peking, and Tsinghua where the CGA is 3.0 and no failing courses. The Mainland program selection criteria are similar to the criteria for Overseas Exchanges. The main difference is that NO INTERVIEW is required. The scoring will solely be based on a student’s CGA and online application.

Usually, the Mainland Exchange application opens after the Overseas Application and follow the below application periods:
