Chang'An University
About Chang'An University
Chang’An University is one of China’s leading specialist institutions — not a broad, all-purpose university, but a national leader in a specific set of fields:
highway and transportation engineering, civil engineering, construction, and land resources and environment. It’s home to China’s only comprehensive automobile testing ground based at a university, and its highway/transportation program consistently ranks among the very best in the country.
For a Rwandan student, this makes Chang’An University especially relevant: Rwanda is investing heavily in infrastructure, road networks, and urban construction as part of its development goals, and Chang’An trains exactly the kind of engineers who build that future — roads, bridges, tunnels, and transport systems.

Why Rwandan Students Should Consider
Chang'An University
- World-class, specialized training. If your goal is a career in infrastructure, construction, or transportation — sectors central to Rwanda’s growth .
- Strong scholarship opportunities. Chang’An University offers Chinese Government Scholarships (CSC) and university-level scholarships that can cover tuition, accommodation, and living stipends for qualifying international students.
- Affordable compared to Western options. Tuition for undergraduate engineering programs is significantly lower than equivalent programs in Europe or North America, and living costs in Xi’an are moderate compared to China’s major coastal cities.
- A historic, culturally rich city. Xi’an is one of China’s most significant cultural cities — the eastern starting point of the ancient Silk Road and home to the Terracotta Army — offering a rich environment for cultural exchange alongside your studies.
- Direct relevance to Rwanda’s development priorities. Skills in highway engineering, construction, and land management translate directly into opportunities back home, in both government infrastructure projects and the growing private construction sector.
