CSC won’t provide any further support on the extension of 4-year PhD program. However, you may want to discuss alternative and possible support from other channels that is known by your supervisor. One thing worth mentioning is that you cannot accept another scholarship if you are already awarded the CSC one.
The supervisor/faculty does not have to pay any salary to the PhD student. CSC should cover all living expenses.
Unlike the salary, bench-fees and other costs that may occur during the research, need to be covered by the research school themselves. The CSC does not fund any additional costs. The PhD candidates should inform and receive prior permission by their faculty or their supervisor. It is advised to assess each request in regard to their necessity and relevance.
Under the condition that all the involved institutions (the company/university you work for, CSC and the Chinese Embassy) give permission allowing the PhD continue with the Postdoc research, you are given an extension of maximum 2 years for the Post-doc program.
- The CSC PhD must apply for it to the Chinese Embassy at least 2 months before the graduation in person.
- The school, the company or the supervisor must provide evidence that it has the intention to work with the PhD for further research.
- The Chinese Embassy will hand in the request to CSC.
- CSC will consider the request regarding the research topic and give approval when it fits the current development stage of China.
- After research, the Postdoc must hand in their achievements of the research to CSC.
- Note: all the cost must be covered by the candidates themselves.
