China Scholastic Competency Assessment (CSCA) is a standardized test designed for international students who plan to pursue undergraduate degrees in China. It serves as an academic reference for university admission and scholarship review from 2026 intake in China.
Most medical universities require Mathematics and Chemistry. Some highly competitive universities may additionally require Physics. Requirements vary by institution and program.
CSCA examinations are scheduled multiple times each year. For 2026, sessions are planned in January, March, April, June and December. The examination is initially offered primarily online with remote proctoring, while onsite test centers are gradually being established in major source countries.
Each CSCA subject is graded on a 100-point scale. Universities determine their own admission standards. In general, stronger CSCA scores improve your chances of admission and scholarship consideration.
Most English-taught MBBS programs require IELTS, TOEFL or equivalent proof of English proficiency. Some universities may waive this requirement for applicants from English-speaking educational backgrounds.
Most MBBS programs last six years, including classroom study, laboratory training and clinical internship.
Clinical training is usually conducted during the final years of the program through rotations in affiliated teaching hospitals, covering major medical specialties.
Many Chinese medical universities are listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS) and are recognized by medical authorities in multiple countries, subject to local regulations.
Graduates may apply for medical licensing examinations in their destination countries. Licensing requirements vary by country and regulatory authority.
