With the support of national or local financial funds, tuition fees are usually relatively cheap, generally around 5,000 yuan/year. However, there are also some high-fee majors, such as Chinese-foreign cooperation in state-owned universities, whose tuition fees exceed 1 10,000 yuan/year or even tens of thousands of years. Of course, the admission scores of these majors are relatively low, and the family conditions are also good. '

Private universities: universities usually run by enterprises, institutions, social organizations and individual citizens. Without the support of national and local financial funds, they need to run their own schools, and the tuition fees are generally expensive, usually at 13000- 18000 yuan/year, or more than 20,000 yuan/year.
