Programmes and application routes

Admission requirements and documents

Chinese-taught programmes normally require HSK 4 or above; English-taught programmes normally require IELTS or TOEFL. Confirm the exact threshold per programme.

Documents are the slowest part of the file. Certified translations and notarisation happen outside the university, so they are the first thing to start.

• Passport valid for the full study period
• Highest diploma and transcripts with certified translation
• Language certificate (HSK, IELTS or TOEFL as required)
• Study plan or personal statement for master and doctoral routes
• Two academic reference letters (postgraduate)
• Foreigner Physical Examination Form and financial proof

Costs, scholarships and budget

Tuition varies by level, field and city. Ask the international office for the current figure in writing before committing to a budget.

Scholarships come from the Chinese Government Scholarship (CSC), provincial or municipal programmes, and university-level awards. Each has its own deadline and portal, and a scholarship application does not replace the admission application.

• Budget band: Premium
• Add dormitory or private rent, insurance and living costs
• Check whether the scholarship covers insurance and accommodation
• Keep proof of funds for the visa stage

Deadlines and application timeline

Universities usually publish international admission guides between October and March for a September intake, with deadlines between March and June.

Why ChinaPath recommends it

DHU is most persuasive for applicants whose academic or creative work matches its distinctive disciplines. Shanghai alone is not a sufficient recommendation reason.

What to watch: English-taught availability is narrower in some fields. Portfolio and supervisor requirements can vary by level. Shanghai living costs materially change the total budget.

• Recognisable textile and fashion specialisation
• Shanghai strengthens industry and creative-sector exposure
• Materials and engineering broaden the specialist portfolio
• Useful for distinctive, content-led student acquisition
• Fashion, textile and design applicants
• Materials or industry-focused engineering students
• Students prepared for premium Shanghai costs
