UKÄ report finds that terms of scholarship include obliging students to return to China
More than 100 Chinese PhD students who received funding from the China Scholarship Council to study in Sweden were obliged to go back to China after finishing their courses, according to an investigation carried out by the Swedish Higher Education Authority (UKÄ).
The UKÄ asked all of Sweden’s higher education institutes whether any of their PhD students had unreasonable conditions imposed on them by scholarship providers between 2020 and 2023.
