Public international students refer to talents in designated fields selected by the state, who are sent abroad for study and research with state funding, and need to return to China to participate in national construction after completion of their studies. Public study abroad is an important measure of the strategy of strengthening the country with talents. According to the important development of modernization, it is a way to select outstanding bald talents to go abroad, which is usually sent to well-known universities in countries and regions with developed science and technology education. China scholarship council is responsible for the specific implementation of the state-sponsored study abroad.
Public study abroad is a full scholarship program. The cost of studying abroad is mainly provided by the state or spent by enterprises. After all, we don't have to spend money ourselves. China's Ministry of Education's China Study Abroad Fund Committee calls it public study abroad. Generally speaking, foreign students in public schools do not need to take the entrance examination, but can study directly in their major. However, after choosing a major, you can't change your major halfway. No matter what problems we have, we can't change them unless we drop out of school or choose again at our own expense.
