There is a pleasant bonus for citizens of Russia and Belarus (and not only) – with a scholarship you can study both full-time and part-time.

China
Thought it’s easier to get a scholarship only in Europe? No, it isn’t! You can study in Asia absolutely free of charge and in English with an educational grant. The most famous grant of China is provided by the government of China and fully covers not only study, but also accommodation. A monthly scholarship of $500-600 is paid to the student.
But, unfortunately, right after graduation from the university you will not be able to get a job, because under the new laws of China, a working visa is issued only in the presence of two years of experience. So you will have to either get this experience before entering the university (for example, work a little between your bachelor’s and master’s degree) or return to your country for 2 years after graduation.
