The Chinese Government Excellence Scholarship (中国政府来华留学卓越奖学金项目) at UIBE funds the Master of International Finance (MIF), an English-taught, one-year full-scholarship programme designed for mid- and senior-level government officials and financial-sector managers. Teaching runs through UIBE's School of Finance and Banking on a 1+1 model: the first year is spent in Beijing completing the 35 credits of coursework (29 compulsory, 6 elective) and preparing the thesis, and the second year is spent back in the home country writing it, with the defence at UIBE in the spring term, leading to UIBE's master's degree in economics. Applicants must be non-Chinese, under 45, in good health, hold a bachelor's degree or above with at least three years' work experience, occupy a section-chief (or equivalent) or senior-management position, and have IELTS 6.0 / TOEFL 86 or equivalent English. The 2026/2027 cycle required the documents by email by 2026-03-15 and the CSC registration by 2026-03-25 (Type A, agency number 1563).

This scholarship is currently closed. Based on its annual cycle, applications are expected to reopen around Mar 2027 — the exact date is set when the provider publishes the next cycle. Check the provider website for the next cycle, or see similar open opportunities below.
