Admission requirements and documents
Language requirement on record: English / Chinese by program. 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. 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: 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
Our record shows the application deadline as Route-specific — recheck for 2027 for the Autumn intake. Deadlines are set by the university and can move when a programme fills up, so verify before submitting.
Current status in our library: 2026 closed — monitor 2027.
