International Degree Programs
Master & PhD Pathway Program
The Master & PhD Pathway to World-Class Universities Program is a premier initiative by ZHUOER in collaboration with prestigious universities worldwide. This program is designed for outstanding Chinese youth aspiring to study abroad, offering two pathways to enrollment in world-class universities based on the students’ characteristics and stages of preparation.
- Direct Admission to Top Universities: For students who meet the direct application requirements of top universities, the program provides comprehensive admission consulting and application guidance, helping students promptly obtain official admission letters from their desired institutions. This ensures a “fast and precise” study abroad plan.
- Master’s and PhD Pathway Courses: For students who need more time for planning, language preparation, or cross-disciplinary applications, the program offers “online + offline” bridging courses recognized and authorized by top universities. These courses make use of fragmented time to prepare students, providing a relatively assured and expedited pathway to master’s and doctoral degree programs at world-renowned universities. This approach lays a solid foundation for overseas study and life, ensuring “successful to study abroad and study abroad successfully”
