HUST Computer Science Undergraduate Programs (CS / Software Engineering)
Huazhong University of Science and Technology · 4 years · CNY 25,000 / year
Computer Science and Software Engineering bachelor programs are open to international students: 4 years, CNY 25,000 per year, Chinese-taught at HSK4 (180+) — one tier below the AI major, making it a practical alternative route toward AI.
Program overview
The School of Computer Science and Technology at HUST offers bachelor programs in Computer Science and Technology and Software Engineering to international students. The computer science discipline is rated Class A nationally, with platforms such as the Wuhan National Laboratory for Optoelectronics and joint labs with Huawei and Tencent.
For students still at HSK4 level but aiming at AI, this track builds the foundation first; they can move into AI at the postgraduate stage (the university keeps AI master and PhD programs open).
Intake: the main intake for degree programs is September each year (fall semester); some language/foundation programs also offer spring intake — exact dates follow each university’s annual notice. Application tip: prepare and submit your documents 3–6 months in advance to allow time for review and visa (JW202/visa) processing.
