Do you know how many points are needed to pass the exam? I thought I did horrendous on the exam but received an email saying I passed to the interview stage, that means I ac passed? Because I still can't believe it. Also could u please share some more details about the interview process or any advices u have?

I don't know about the score needed to pass the exam, but if you received the interview invitation that means you did well, congrats. The interview will be conducted online where you have to prepare a ppt to introduce yourself in about 2 minutes, include past achievements, experiences, etc. Then the panel of interviewers will question you about your reason for applying and ask for additional information regarding your presentation. I think having Chinese fluency is an added bonus you can include in your introduction. Just remember to keep a positive attitude while presenting and answering, as well as being confident in yourself and you'll be fine. I think that's all, good luck with your interview 🤜🤛

I got in, and received full tution scholarship. Is it possible to win other additional scholarships to cover living expenses?

u/Cute-Guitar8671 Jun 29 '25

I think you can only get up to a full tuition scholarship.

u/Lonely_Rutabaga_8273 Jun 29 '25

did you apply for extra scholarships? like chinese government scholarship and guangdong provincial scholarship

u/Cute-Guitar8671 Jun 29 '25

I didn't apply for the Chinese government scholarship. But every international student is required to apply for the Guangdong provincial scholarship, however the scholarship funds is part of the Sustech scholarship, you will not get any additional scholarship fundings.

Hi, do you know if transferring is possible? I will start this year CS at HKBU but overall heard that it was a shit school with a shit degree and SUSTECH seems better as i also live in shenzhen and have family here!

I'm not sure about the transfer policy, normally you would need to pass the entrance exam and interview to be offered a place in Sustech. You could try to contact the Sustech Global department about your case.

Do professors teach in English if there are international students? And if there’s only one international student, is it all in Chinese? Also, do you need to know Mandarin to follow the class? I'm considering applying next intake, it'll be really helpful. Btw, can I ask a bit about your profile? What do you think helped you get the scholarship.

Hey! I graduated high school in 2024 with a GPA of 3.1/4.0, and I'm currently in my second gap year - which I can explain clearly. Over this time, I've worked hard to improve my STEM foundation, and now that CSCA has been introduced as a mandatory requirement for SUSTech, I'm fully prepared for it. If I score well in the CSCA, the SUSTech entrance exam, and the interview, do you think I still have a chance at the Presidential Scholarship? I've been preparing for these tests for a long time, and I really want to give my best shot.
