“ Although I am fluent in Chinese myself and have lived in Beijing for the past three years, it would have been impossible to successfully apply to graduate school in Beijing without CUCAS. They made the online application easy and transparent, and provided timely updates throughout the entire process. I was also able to receive my acceptance notice earlier than if I had simply applied for the program directly through the International Students' Office. I felt my application was prioritized and CUCAS agents responded politely to all my inquiring emails. Though the formalities fee is a bit high, it's all worth it for the excellent service! CUCAS is able to communicate directly with the department concerned, which saved a lot of headache on my part. I couldn't have realized my dream of attending graduate school in China without CUCAS! -Sue ”

Hendrea Shaniqua Smith Bahamas

I’m sure my stay will be awesome. ”

SAMUEL CHIGBO OBIEGBUSI Guyana

About Studying Phd in China

A doctoral degree otherwise known as Ph.D. is the highest form of degree program that one can complete. Enrollment into a doctoral degree program requires you to hold a master’s degree. Obtaining this type of degree can take four to six years. Ph.D. graduates work as experts in areas of business or research.

The most common types of doctoral degrees include: Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Juris Doctor (J.D.), Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) and Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS).

Unlike bachelor's or master's programs, applying for a PhD is quite different. Aside from meeting eligibility requirements, you also need to find a PhD supervisor and present a research proposal. More information about the PhD application process here.

Culture and tourism

Beijing and Shanghai are China’s two biggest cities and its primary tourist hubs. Visitors to Beijing can explore the aforementioned Forbidden City, a UNESCO-listed palace complex that was home to generations of emperors. The Temple of Heaven is another architectural highlight, a group of sacred buildings surrounded by tranquil gardens.

In Shanghai, you can visit the world’s second tallest building or stroll along the vibrant waterfront Bund district.

Outside of China’s bustling metropolises, the Chinese countryside is endlessly varied, encompassing desert, jungle, snow-capped mountains and sandy beaches. Remember to pack your hiking boots for when you want a break from the lab / library!

Sport and leisure

The 2008 Beijing Olympics left a strong legacy in China – not least the striking Bird’s Nest stadium. Athletics, gymnastics and martial arts are among the most popular sporting activities in the country.

In recent years, the Chinese Super League has made waves in the world of football, attracting plenty of star players and managers.

Food and drink

China’s food markets are a feast for the senses. Whether you want to try out Peking duck in Beijing or some sizzling Szechuan cuisine in the south-west of the country, you’ll find plenty of familiar (and unfamiliar!) things to eat.

Accommodation

PhD students at Chinese universities have plenty of accommodation to choose from, from on-campus dormitories and studios to off-campus flats in the heart of the city.

On-campus housing

Most universities have dedicated on-campus accommodation for students, with rooms costing between 25 RMB and 150 RMB (USD $3.70 to $21.50) per day. The price depends on things like whether you’re sharing your flat with a roommate or whether you have an en-suite bathroom. Some universities may even have accommodation pitched at international students in particular, or aimed at postgraduates.

CUCAS , the official Chinese university application portal, can help international students book university dormitories.

Off-campus housing

Living off-campus is also an option for international PhD students in China. Check expat websites for English-language listings. In Beijing, expect to pay between 1,500 RMB and 3,000 RMB (USD $205 to $410) per month for a room.

Living costs

China is an affordable place to live and study by Western standards. As with most countries, you’ll find that the major cities like Beijing and Shanghai are markedly more expensive than elsewhere in China, especially in terms of rent.

Prices in China

This table should give you a rough idea of what you’ll pay for various student essentials in China.

Student Cost of Living in China - 2024
25.00 RMB (USD $3.70)
50 RMB (USD $7.20)
200 RMB (USD $28.21)
387.44 RMB (USD $554.48)
.

Working during your PhD

The Chinese Government has relaxed restrictions on international students working during their studies in recent years, allowing students in Beijing and Shanghai to undertake part-time work as long as they have permission from their university and the relevant administrative authorities.

Common examples of part-time work in China include teaching English and internships. For more information on the regulations, please check with your university’s international office.

It’s fairly simple to open a bank account in China. Just visit the local branch of the bank you want to join with the following documents:

  • A valid passport
  • Your student visa
  • Proof of residence

ATMs are plentiful in large cities and towns, but make sure that you always carry some cash with you. Mobile apps are becoming increasingly popular as a way of paying for good and services – WeChat and Alipay are the most common examples. Apple Pay can also be used in some stores.

As the third-largest country in the world, travel in China can seem a daunting prospect. However, China has invested heavily in high-speed travel between its major cities, so making the most of your time here shouldn’t be too difficult.

Rail travel

China has an extensive rail network populated by state-of-the-art, high speed trains. You can travel between Beijing and Shanghai in a little over four hours by taking the world’s fastest passenger train, clocking in at 350 km/h. Tickets are reasonably priced but can sell out – you should book as far in advance as you can.

If you want to travel to the far reaches of China, the country is serviced by plenty of domestic flights, with every major city having its own airport. Bear in mind that delays can be fairly frequent, while trains are almost always on time.

Inner-city travel

When getting around Chinese cities, driving a car is best left to all but the bravest – or most foolhardy – PhD students.

Many cities have their own underground or metro networks, while taxis are cheap and plentiful. Alternatively, try out one of the countless bike-sharing apps operating in Chinese cities.

Ph.D. in Chinese Literature and Culture

The Ph.D. program is designed to prepare students for a doctoral degree in Chinese literature and culture.

Students should consult the most up-to-date version of the degree plan on the Stanford Bulletin  as well as the EALC Graduate Handbook . Each student should meet with their faculty advisor at least once per quarter to discuss the degree requirements and their progress.

Admission to Candidacy

Candidacy is the most important University milestone on the way to the Ph.D. degree. Admission to candidacy rests both on the fulfillment of department requirements and on an assessment by department faculty that the student has the potential to successfully complete the Ph.D.

Following University policy ( GAP 4.6.1 ), students are expected to complete the candidacy requirements by Spring Quarter of the second year of graduate study.

Pre-Candidacy Requirements

  • CHINLANG 103 - Third-Year Modern Chinese, Third Quarter (5 units)
  • CHINLANG 103B - Third-Year Modern Chinese for Bilingual Speakers, Third Quarter (3 units)
  • CHINA 208 - Advanced Classical Chinese: Philosophical Texts (3-5 units)
  • CHINA 209 - Advanced Classical Chinese: Historical Narration (2-5 units)
  • CHINA 210 - Advanced Classical Chinese: Literary Essays (2-5 units)
  • CHINLANG 225 - Chinese through Modern Fiction (3 units)
  • CHINLANG 251 - Chinese for Academic Discussion and Reading (2 units)
  • EALC 201 - Proseminar in East Asian Humanities I: Skills and Methodologies (3 units)
  • EALC 202 - Proseminar in East Asian Humanities II: Current Scholarship (1 unit)
  • Four courses numbered above 200 in the field of China studies, at least two of which must be listed with the CHINA  subject code, and the other two of which may be in different sub-fields such as anthropology, art history, history, philosophy, political science, religious studies, or another relevant field, as approved by the student’s advisor.

All doctoral students must complete an MA qualifying paper. An MA thesis is accepted instead of a qualifying paper for students initially admitted as EALC MA students. Students seeking an MA en route to the PhD must secure approval from the primary advisor and submit an MA thesis.

A graded MA qualifying paper or thesis must be submitted to the DGS and SSO with an accompanying note from the student’s primary advisor by week five of spring quarter of the second year of study for the annual review and candidacy decision.

During the quarter when students complete the MA qualifying paper or thesis (25-30 pages), they must enroll in EALC 299 .

Teaching Requirement

  • DLCL 301 - The Learning and Teaching of Second Languages (3 units)
  • Demonstrate pedagogical proficiency by serving as a teaching assistant for at least three quarters, starting no later than autumn quarter of the third year of graduate study. The department may approve exceptions to the timing of the language teaching requirement.

Post-Candidacy Requirements

Demonstrate proficiency in at least one supporting language (beyond the near-native level required in Chinese and English) to be chosen in consultation with the primary advisor according to the candidate’s specific research goals. For this supporting language (typically Japanese, Korean, or a European language), students must be proficient at a second-year level at the minimum; a higher level of proficiency may be required depending on the advisor’s recommendation. Reading proficiency must be certified through a written examination or an appropriate amount of coursework to be determined on a case-by-case basis. This requirement must be fulfilled by the end of the fourth year of graduate study.

Students in Chinese literature must take CHINA 291 - The Structure of Modern Chinese (2-4 units). Literature students must also take at least one EALC course in a field different from the student’s primary specialization (e.g., a modern literature course for students specializing in premodern literature, and vice versa, or a course in Japanese or Korean literature).

Complete two relevant seminars at the 300 level. EALC 200  may be substituted for one of these two seminars.

Pass three comprehensive written examinations, one of which tests the candidate’s methodological competence in the relevant discipline. The remaining two fields are chosen, with the approval of the student’s advisor, from the following: Chinese literature, Japanese literature, Korean literature, archaeology, anthropology, art history, comparative literature, communication, history, linguistics, philosophy, and religious studies. With the advisor’s approval, a PhD minor in a supporting field may be deemed equivalent to completing one of these three examinations.

Students should submit a dissertation prospectus before advancing to Terminal Graduate Registration (TGR) status. The prospectus should comprehensively describe the dissertation project and include sections on the project rationale, key research questions, contributions to the field, a literature review, a chapter-by-chapter outline, a projected timeline, and a bibliography.

Pass the University Oral Examination (dissertation defense). General regulations governing the oral examination are found in Graduate Academic Policies and Procedures ( GAP 4.7.1 ). The candidate is examined on questions related to the dissertation after acceptable parts have been completed in draft form.

Following university policy ( GAP 4.8.1 ), submit a dissertation demonstrating the ability to undertake original research based on primary and secondary materials in Chinese.

All students in the Ph.D. program in modern Chinese literature must pass three comprehensive written examinations (a.k.a. field exams or qualifying exams) by the end of their ninth quarter: Theory, Literature, and X. The theory exam tests the student’s competence in the fundamental methods and issues of literary and cultural studies. The literature exam tests the student’s familiarity with the basic canon of modern Chinese literature, representative texts in his or her own area/period/genre of interest, and the core secondary scholarship of the field. The third field (X) may be chosen, with the approval of the Director of Graduate Studies in consultation with the student’s primary advisor from the following: comparative literature, premodern Chinese literature, linguistics, history, film, art history, philosophy, religious studies, archaeology, anthropology, political science, sociology, Japanese literature, Korean literature, FGSS, environmental humanities, digital humanities, or medical humanities. It is the student’s responsibility to secure a faculty member’s (EALC or non-EALC) consent to supervise the third exam. With the primary advisor's approval, a Ph.D. minor in a supporting field may be deemed equivalent to the completion of the third exam. Comprehensive/field exams must be completed before students can register for TGR; students should take their first field exam at the latest in the spring or summer quarter of their second year to be on track to complete all three exams by or before the end of their third year.

Students should prepare for each exam by taking the following steps:

  • Prepare a reading list. Start with the core list and add 10-20 more titles that pertain directly to his/her own area/period/genre of interest; the list should be organized into 4-5 topics and must conform to a standard bibliographical style. Submit the list to both the primary advisor and field supervisor (if different) for approval.
  • Set a date for the exam. Two weeks prior to the exam date, submit a list of 4-5 discursive questions each keyed to a topic in the reading list.
  • On the day of the exam, the student receives three or four questions from which s/he chooses to answer two. Each exam essay should be 5-6 pages, double-spaced, and proofread. Footnote citations or a works cited list is not necessary. The allotted time for each exam is 4 hours with a half hour break. The exam may be administered by email.

The exam essays are evaluated for breadth, accuracy, and analytical acumen. Students will be graded on a scale from Fail to Pass and Pass with Distinction. A student who receives the "Fail" grade will be placed on probation and must retake the exam within three months. A second "Fail" grade will result in dismissal from the program.

The Dissertation Prospectus Defense constitutes the first step toward faculty approval for the student’s proposed dissertation project and should be completed before or soon after the student applies for external funding to conduct doctoral research - typically by Winter quarter of the fourth year, or no later than Spring quarter of the fourth year. The defense is a two-hour oral exam conducted by the student’s dissertation reading committee (minimum of three faculty members, including the primary advisor). The prospectus, 12-15 pages not including bibliography, must be submitted to the committee members at least two weeks prior to the defense.

PhD students in China face outsize challenges as they try to complete their degrees, according to Nature ’s fifth biennial survey of PhD students. On many measures, students in China fare worse than students in other parts of the world. One telling number: only 55% of the Chinese students who responded to the survey said that they were at least partially satisfied with their PhD experience. For the 5,630 respondents outside China, the satisfaction rate was 72% (see ‘A nation apart’).
