Data Sources & Verification
Every tuition fee, accommodation rate and deadline on ChinaStudyBridge is taken from the university's own official pages — never estimated, never guessed.
Discover
We use directory platforms — including Admissions.cn and ScholarshipChina.com — plus official Chinese government scholarship sources to find institutions, programmes and scholarships worth considering. Nothing from a directory is published as fact.
Verify
Our team re-checks every figure against the university's own official admissions or international-students page. The official link and the date we checked it are shown on the university profile so you can confirm it yourself.
Re-check
Verified information is flagged for re-checking after six months. If a profile has not been re-confirmed within that window, you will see a note saying so.
What we will never do
- We never invent or estimate a tuition fee, dormitory rate or deadline.
- Where a university has not published a figure, we say exactly that: “Information not currently available — please verify with the university.”
- Where a university publishes a range rather than one number, we show the official range instead of picking a figure from it.
- Cost estimates are only produced for programmes with officially verified fees, and any converted figure — such as an academic-year dormitory total — is clearly labelled an estimate.
