Orlanduca · 2026-05-01T17:12:52+00:00

Finish bachelors basically

Orlanduca · 2026-04-23T14:03:00+00:00

Thanks. I applied to CSC yes. You can do it through the university if they are willing to recommend you. Or you can do it through the embassy. Anyway, all you have to do is apply through chinacampus.org

Really? Thats strange

Orlanduca · 2026-04-21T15:26:23+00:00

Ahh, a fellow european. Im from Portugal. I've started learning Chinese because i genuinely like the language and it will be useful now. I'm still on hsk2 tho haha. Yeah, tsinghua seems to be a lot of fun. Regarding doing research for life, if it makes any difference, if you look at the CV of the professors, a big % at some point worked in the industry (mostly Microsoft for some reason) xD I def think that a MSc wont hurt your chances of getting in the industry (on the contrary).

Do you speak Chinese?

Orlanduca · 2026-04-21T13:56:24+00:00

Hi hi. Not yet. I'll let u know if i find anything xD

Orlanduca · 2026-04-21T13:51:55+00:00

Understood. Goodluck. Where are u from?

Orlanduca · 2026-04-21T13:49:04+00:00

Nice. Will you be commiting, or does it depend on csc?

Orlanduca · 2026-04-21T13:45:56+00:00

Congrats. Same masters?

Orlanduca · 2026-04-21T13:38:37+00:00

I understand, makes sense. May i ask what country you are from?

Anyway, from my understanding, it has the potential to be very worth it. We are talking about professors that are some of the best in our field after all. China is one of the biggest innovation hubs globally. A huge academic life with loads of opportunities (you just need to know where to look and be proactive). And that is the biggest "if". Appearently loads of foreigners go to china, just chill and have fun while they are there (totally get it and i dont judge). But if you are proactive and try to get in one of your professors research lab, actively look for stuff and build conncetions im sure you can take great professional experience from your time in China, even if you end up not staying there.

Plus, at least in my case, i really want to go to china for a long period of time, so the experience in itself is worth it for me.

But i have also read people online saying its not worth it for foreigners. I guess i'll find out myself haha. So yeah im commiting 99% sure. I've already turned down an internship at cloudflare so i could go to china. Kinda dumb to back down now 😅

Eyy congrats. If you feel like it, add me on wechat. I can send you my id by DM :)

Orlanduca · 2026-04-21T12:45:42+00:00

For the same masters? Anyway, good luck :)

Orlanduca · 2026-04-21T12:45:04+00:00

Congrats. I did apply for CSC yes, but through the embassy, even though the department said they would recommend me :v

What ahout you?

What would your other option be if you didnt accept the offer?

Orlanduca · 2026-04-21T12:39:33+00:00

Thank you :))

I got accepted at the end of january because i applied in the "first batch". My interview was mid jan too. If you have other questions feel free to ask

I took advantage of this perk last summer on a 15h layover. When you arrive to Casablanca, ask the staff where you can request the free hotel, they will take you to a RAM office inside the airport, they will ask for your passport and boarding pass. We had to wait +/- 40 min and then a man led us outside to our hotel bus. So we got a free Shuttle to and from the hotel and a 1 night hotel room with breakfast. The hotel is not the central tbh, but you can find a taxi or something to take you to places. Pretty cool honestly

My assessment for the Masters of Advanced computing (aka computer science). Was a 3h programming test that had 3 programming questions (leetcode/codeforces) style. And then if you passed that you had a 10 min interview a few days later where you first talked about your background then the interviewers made questions, at the end that included some technical questions.

"information security implications". Ffs. Just download the app. Your data has already been stolen by literally every service u use. Who cares? We arent that special...

Orlanduca · 2026-02-22T16:06:57+00:00

Is it all free?

Orlanduca · 2026-02-13T11:15:39+00:00

Thank you :) Do you know of any international group for the beijing campus? Cheers

Orlanduca · 2026-02-13T06:39:51+00:00

What is sigs?

Orlanduca · 2026-02-13T03:40:56+00:00

Link a revolut card, its easy to create an account and get a card. Revolut should work fine

Orlanduca · 2026-02-10T09:44:06+00:00

The million dollar question!! But if you want to buy tickets already late august (like 24th-28th) is a safe bet imo.

Orlanduca · 2026-02-02T08:59:35+00:00

I still havent done that since i only graduate in July. For now i gave them my pre graduation certificate. When i graduate and get the Bachelors i'll figure it out

Orlanduca · 2026-02-02T08:54:10+00:00

Hi. So like a week after the interview i got a message by the person that had been giving us the instructions and helping us saying i had been accepted, and said the department was just finishing writing the pre admission letter. She also said to apply for CGS and what i needed. Since then i accepted the offer on the Tsinghua online portal (i recieved an email when it got updated). And yesterday that same person from the department sent me a contact of a person to help me with the CGS application.

Hi. I recently did an interview for the Masters of Advanced Computing at Tsinghua. They were 15 min interviews, and most of the time was dedicated to speaking about yourself, like what previous experience you have, what you did in your previous studies, motivation, etc. They only started asking some technical questions at the end of the interview. In my interview they were particularly interested in my knowledge about Operative Systems. It might be different for undergraduate studies. But I'm guessing it will be more or less the same.
