I had a very similar experience as you while studying in a predominantly Chinese university, teacher holds the ultimate authority and one is expected to mostly agree. Looking retrospectively, it does provide a good glimpse into Asian style of management and it's helpful to be aware of the difference from Western style of doing things. The knowledge is handy for the student in the long run, so still worth. Best combination is to have some experience from both schools of thought as the world evolves!
I graduated from a university in US and, from your video, I don't see how the Chinese university are different. Maybe you are expecting university in China to lecture in English, just like you are expecting a US university to lecture in Chinese? I accept that your culture is more “Western”. In US, there are lively parties most weekends. In decades to come, Chinese may loosen up and adopt a more “Western” attitude but as of now, they are more pragmatic and more goal-driven. They are not prone to speak their mind. That is cultural. Chinese people all over the world seem to have that - it is not the fault of the university is it? I think Japanese are like that too. As of learning skills, I don’t think my university in US did that successfully at all. What skills did I learn? Not much, maybe none. All I can say is that the experience of the university life itself is the “skill”. As the years go by, you will find the same sort of “skill” - the experience - that I acquired to be the most important thing you have learned.
If study in China universities pay you well after graduation, definitely foreigners will queue up for enrolment. Other than that, students are able to learn the ancient wisdom from cultural exchange.
Thanks for your unbiased view of your educational experience in China. I'm surprised to learn that so many scholarships are offered to international students. Is there a minimum Chinese language requirement from international students studying in universities (not necessarily the top) in China? Do you find some foreign students in your school/classes still struggling with their Chinese language?
I got a fully funded scholarship from the Chinese government for a PhD program at HUST starting September this year, and am struggling to accept or not; because I have a lovely family with 3 kids and a good paying job here in Nigeria. Thinking is all these are worth sacrificing for a PhD program. Thanks for the enlightenment
And can you get the x1 visa? For peruvians in south america we can't get it due pandemic and restrictions to arrive in China. Nevertheless, I consider for a master like computer technology might be a great opportunity.
@@sonmetal6000why do you think it’s a great opportunity though? I want to study in China but also being in that field I already have a job and it pays well, so if I studied in China it’d really be irrelevant to me as a developer, it won’t help my career more than studying locally. I’m curious on why do you think it’s a great opportunity to do your masters in CS there?
Can you please elaborate on that sentences you said in 11:33 that "subjects that require a lot of grind and self practice". Which studies they are? I would love to do that.
"speak for hours" this sums up my online chinese learning experience (since China is still close its border for students) =p ----------- p/s i just found your channel while looking some tips for hsk 5, great tips on listening part, looking forward for reading part.(if you are interested to do so) Do you take 1 year + MTSCOL or you did MTSCOL after HSK6, Are you under Hanban or Goverment scholarship Do you think HSK 5 is good for MTSCOL (i am a bit scared since people the entry requirement is low while the actual subject itself is much harder than HSK6) FYI, i am now planning to take HSK5 after one and half year study and planning to do one year + MTSCOL by the way, thank you for all the tips that you shared in your videos
May I know what you mean when you said that If our future career depends greatly on the academic credentials While unfortunately most of the time there is no A Chinese university
Hey! I'm a graduate of Bachelor in Elementary Education. And I am planning to take my master's degree in China. What master's program do you think that suits my bachelor's degree?
Hi Kent! You can always follow with the same master's - elementary education if you want to want as an elementary school teacher, alternatively you can go for educational management. Depends on what job you want to take afterwards.
@@OutmazeChinese I am currently teaching as an online english teacher in a EFL chinese company. But, I guess, china isn't good for taking a course or program that is related to English. So, I believe educational management is my best choice.
@@OutmazeChinese what I'm really worried about is their mode of instruction. I just can't imagine myself attending classes that are instructed in Chinese. It would be really challenging to every international student. I'm afraid I would fail because of that. Though we have chinese language training here because we are told to take the HSK test and once we get HSK4, then we will be qualified to take the scholarship program. But, I guess, it won't be enough to really understand the language and speak fluently. It would be much more hard once I write my research😭😭😅.
Hi I'm learning Japanese and my level is N3 right now.But I think universities in Japan are difficult to get in and so I want to try scholarships of China.But I'm not sure that China is better for the international students than Japan.I wanna know which country is better for Job opportunities.Plz give me advice.

Hello! I am back. Can I study masters in Educational Management under CSC scholarship? And is there a school that offers English program for Educational Management?
any university that has 师范 (or "Normal" in English) in it specializes in teacher training, Beijing Normal University (北京师范大学) for example. Or you can pick a city first and apply to a 师范 university there
@@OutmazeChinese I actually want to study in Xi'an City coz I really love the richness of its culture and historical places. I also have many students who live there. I hope there is a university there that specializes teaching.
@@OutmazeChinese oooh I see thank you for your reply! Because I want to apply to a China Uni but was scared they are very competitive but glad to know it isnt as I thought it would be☺️☺️
