How to Make an English Proficiency Certificate for the CSC 2025–2026 China Scholarship

A certificate of English proficiency is required to apply for a China Scholarship. If you are wondering what an English proficiency certificate is and how to obtain one, read on. Therefore do not fear, I will explain.

This certificate should be issued by the previous institution from which you received your degree. For instance, if you completed your undergraduate studies at Punjab University and would like to apply for an MS in China, you must first obtain an English proficiency certificate from the university. Similarly, if you completed your graduate studies at the University of Engineering and Technology (UET) and would like to apply for a Ph.D. in China, you must obtain an English proficiency certificate from UET. That is to say, the English Proficiency Certificate is the only one you may give based on your education.

Now, when you apply for a China Scholarship, you may have some questions regarding your English proficiency certificate.

• First, is the IELTS exam required for China Scholarships or not?

• Answer: IELTS is not required for China Scholarships. It is sufficient to have only an English proficiency certificate when applying for a Chinese scholarship.

• Second Question: What does an English Proficiency Certificate actually mean?

• The English Proficiency Certificate means that you will receive instruction in English for your previous degree courses. All university bachelor's programs are taught in English. Thus, do not worry about your certificate of English proficiency.

• Third Question: Some students who applied last year but were not accepted claim that we must create new English proficiency certificates for them to apply the following year.

• There is no need to make it new, but I would advise you to do so. The explanation is that you should create a new profile when applying for a China Scholarship. Make it new for your application the next year, as stated by the university on Your Last Year English Proficiency Certificate's issuance date. That is what I think.

For your convenience, a sample of an English proficiency certificate is provided below. Students who used this English competency certificate to apply to various Chinese institutions last year were awarded fully financed scholarships.
