China Scholarships Council (CSC) / Victoria University Scholarship Scheme

The China Scholarship Council (CSC) and Victoria University of Wellington have agreed to collaborate on a designated doctoral (PhD) program which is offered to excellent students. Selected Chinese students will enrol at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington and undertake doctoral study. The University will provide tuition fees for up to 48 months for candidates who are successful in gaining admission into the PhD programme. CSC will consider applications for living expenses as prescribed from time to time by the Chinese government (which includes student health insurance), a 'round trip' airfare to Wellington by the most economical route, and visa application fees. If the selected Chinese students successfully complete the requirements of the designated program and defend their dissertation, they will be conferred degrees by Victoria University of Wellington.
