I have a master’s degree in Computer Science. Can I pursue another master’s in Computer Science in China with a CSC scholarship?

I studied Software Engineering for my master's degree and used Machine Learning in my thesis. I want to apply for a master's degree again. I mean, in my application for a CSC scholarship, I want to mention that I have a master's degree in software engineering, but I want to study a different major, such as Networking/Security, Artificial Intelligence, or even Computer Architecture.

Yes, you actually can apply for another master’s degree in China with a CSC scholarship, even if you already have one. The key is to clearly explain why you want to do a second master’s instead of moving on to a PhD.

If your new field — like Networking, AI, or Computer Architecture — is quite different from your previous one, and you can show how it fits your future goals, that usually makes sense to the reviewers.

Just make sure to:

• Explain how this new program adds to or complements your previous studies.

• Check with the universities you’re applying to — some are fine with second master’s applicants under CSC.

• Write a solid study plan that shows your motivation and long-term goals.

People have done this successfully before — the important thing is showing that you’re not repeating the same thing but taking your studies in a new direction.
