China's University and College Admission System (CUCAS) is a professional service platform for international students who wish to study in China. Developed and managed by Beijing SHIHUA Education Technology Co., Ltd., it is the only online application system officially recognized by Chinese universities. Officially launched in July 2009, its mission is to provide comprehensive information on studying in China, along with the latest updates on international student admissions.
To date, over 1,000 universities across China have partnered with CUCAS, offering nearly 10,000 academic programs through its online application platform. The website’s design and service model have gained widespread popularity among international students, especially those from developed countries such as the UK (with UCAS), the USA (with EMBARK), and Australia (with CRICOS), who are accustomed to using centralized online platforms for university applications. CUCAS enables them to search, apply, and complete the entire study application process to China in a practical, easy, and efficient way tailored to their individual needs.
Since its inception, CUCAS has closely collaborated with China Education Network (China Edu), establishing an official English-language "Study in China" portal under China Edu and obtaining the right to use the .edu domain, ensuring the platform’s authority and accessibility within the framework of international educational exchange.
Today, CUCAS has expanded to Indonesia, opening a bridge to make the path toward a successful future through studying in China easier than ever!
