• English-taught Doctoral Programmes — PhD, English
• Chinese Language — Non-degree, Chinese development

Admission requirements and documents

Language requirement on record: Chinese: HSK 4+; English doctoral routes per scholarship catalogue. Confirm the threshold per programme: universities often apply a higher score to medicine, law and joint English-taught degrees.

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 on record: Program-specific; on-campus housing RMB 600–1,800/month. Treat it as a baseline: dormitory, medical insurance, residence permit and daily living costs are charged separately and vary by city.

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: Value
• 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

Our record shows the application deadline as Verify next cycle for the Autumn intake. Deadlines are set by the university and can move when a programme fills up, so verify before submitting.

Why ChinaPath recommends it

XJU suits students from Central and South Asia, or those who want an affordable Double First-Class degree with genuine regional expertise and English-taught research routes.

What to watch: Urumqi is geographically remote from China's eastern coast. Most undergraduate programmes are Chinese-taught. Families should discuss the regional setting realistically.

• Double First-Class status with a low cost base
• Explicit English-taught doctoral routes (CS, mechanical, chemical engineering, maths, chemistry)
• Strong Central-Asia and Belt-and-Road student community
• Published 2026 self-funded and regional-government scholarship brochures
• Central and South Asian students seeking a recognised Chinese degree
• Graduate applicants wanting English-taught research routes
• Budget-conscious students open to northwestern China
