Programmes and application routes

Shenzhen Polytechnic University accepts international students on the routes listed on its official admission page. ChinaPath keeps the programme names, levels and teaching languages in the same record as the requirements, so you can compare without switching between pages.

Application routes on record: Vocational Bachelor, diploma, Chinese language. Submit through the official route only — third-party agents cannot shorten a review that the university has not started.

  • Higher Vocational Diploma — Associate, Chinese
  • Chinese Language Preparatory — Non-degree, Chinese development

Admission requirements and documents

Language requirement on record: Degree: HSK 4; preparatory: HSK 3 recommended. 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 — recheck official table. 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 Closed / verify 2027 for the Autumn (March–June application window) intake. Deadlines are set by the university and can move when a programme fills up, so verify before submitting.
