China’s Ministry of Education has ended special COVID pandemic rules allowing students to study online at overseas universities.
The move means over 40,000 Chinese students enrolled at Australian universities must complete their studies in person for their degree to be accredited in China.
Around 3,500 Chinese students have already returned to Australia to take part in face-to face learning this month. Australia’s university sector has welcomed the return of Chinese students but is warning of high travel and accommodation costs, plus lengthy visa delays.
