What Are These Two Programs All About?
The BLCC and TJU “1+3” Chinese Language Undergraduate Scholarship Program (CLUSP) is a four-year program for international students offered by both the Beijing Chinese Language and Culture College and Tianjin University.
It is for students who would like to pursue the Chinese Language as their undergraduate degree. Successful applicants will receive a scholarship for their first-year study at BLCC, after which, Tianjin University will offer a scholarship for the rest of the three years of the degree.
The International Foundation Program of China Campus Network (CCN) is a pre-university foundation course designed to prepare international students to study successfully at the undergraduate level in Chinese Universities.

There are major considerations if you’re choosing from these two programs.
- Fees – the Bachelor’s in Chinese BLCC + TJU Scholarship is more affordable than CCN IFP
- Experience – the Bachelor’s in Chinese BLCC + TJU Scholarship is an older program, therefore, it has more experience
- Application – you can apply to the Bachelor’s in Chinese BLCC + TJU Scholarship online while in the CCN IFP you need a local agent in your home country. It’s also faster to get an admissions letter for the BLCC program.
