        PhD Workshop China — Your Gateway to Reach China's Top Postgraduates
        PhD Workshop China is hosted by China Education Association for International Exchange (CEAIE), and takes place every year in Beijing and Shanghai.

        PhD Workshop China since 2009 has been a professional PhD student recruitment event where overseas universities and research institutes shall present their excellent PhD programs on-site, and interview the top Chinese postgraduates and PhD candidates.

        In 2007 China initiated the Postgraduate Study Abroad Program of National Construction on High-level Universities funded by China Scholarship Council (CSC) under Chinese MOE. In 2020, the scholarship program is prepared to step up its funding to 11000 PhD candidates – 8500 for Joint PhD Programs, and 2500 for Full PhD Programs.

        The PhD Workshop is timed in November, so that the students can meet and talk with the professors and delegates from overseas universities on site for the latest PhD programs before they get ready for CSC funding. The CSC funded program application and enrolment starts in mid-March the following year.
