Student Life in China in 2025: Education and Monthly Budget

In 2025, China remains not only a hub of technology and innovation but also one of the most affordable study destinations. Here, annual tuition fees can cost less than a one-week vacation in Europe, while the opportunities are enormous: scholarships, strong universities, and globally recognized diplomas.

Annual tuition fees:

Affordable public universities: $1,500 – $3,500

Strong top universities: $3,000 – $8,000

IT and Engineering: $4,000 – $9,000

Medicine (MBBS): $4,000 – $10,000

International premium programs: $12,000 – $32,000

(International students can apply for various scholarship options.)

One-month living expenses (2025):

Dormitory: $50 – $150

Food: $120 – $200

Transportation: $10 – $25

Phone + Internet: $10 – $15

Personal expenses: $20 – $40

Total: $210 – $430 per month.

Students often manage to eat healthy meals for an entire week for the price of just a few café visits. China offers an affordable, comfortable, and safe environment for student life. In addition, many scholarship programs cover tuition, accommodation, and a monthly stipend. Many programs don’t require IELTS, which is a big advantage for Uzbek students.

China is one of the most strategic destinations for those seeking low living costs, quality education, and strong career prospects. Studying here in 2025 means gaining not only knowledge but also valuable life experience and global opportunities.
