China Agricultural University has already published its 2027 intake windows, and none of them is open on 2 October 2026 — all are upcoming, with opening dates in the future. The 2027 international undergraduate admission information (released 3 September 2026) gives the undergraduate application period as 1 November 2026 to 31 May 2027, submitted entirely online through apply.cau.edu.cn, so this opens on 1 November 2026. The 2027 international graduate admission information (released 3 September 2026) sets four separate graduate windows for the 2027 intake: the CSC High Level Graduate Student Program (Type B) from 1 November 2026 to 28 February 2027; the CSC Silk Road Program (Type B) during March to May 2027; the CSC Type A Bilateral Program according to the notice issued by the Chinese mission in the applicant's own country; the Beijing Government Scholarship for International Students from November 2026 to May 2027; and other scholarship programmes and self-funded applicants from November 2026 to June 2027. The graduate notice explicitly states that dates are subject to the specific notices on the website.

No window of any kind is open at CAU on 28 September 2026. The 2027 general admission windows are scheduled to open 1 November 2026; later program-specific notices may revise dates. These are published future windows, not applications currently open on 2 October.

Fee note: The application fee at China Agricultural University is CNY 400 per person and is stated as non-refundable in the admission notices that publish a fee. The 2027 international undergraduate admission information (2027年中国农业大学国际学生本科生招生简章, released 3 September 2026) states 报名费：400元（不予退还）in its 费用（人民币元）section, and adds 申请报名费不予退还 in the application-materials notes.

2027 international graduate admissions

Apply in CAU’s system, select the major, upload documents and pay the non-refundable CNY 400. Monitor application status. The admissions committee reviews applications and invites selected applicants for an examination or interview. Admission documents are issued in July. Prepare passport valid beyond December 2027, notarized qualification, transcripts from undergraduate study onward, two signed academic recommendations, current CV, a Chinese or English research plan of at least 1000 words, language proof, medical form, police record and academic achievements. Current students may provide expected-graduation proof. Existing students in China also supply visa information. Scholarship language requirements may differ.

Reference: Other scholarships and self-funded: November 2026–June 2027. Confirm the latest notice for the same course and route before applying.

Read the university's procedure
  1. 1

    Choose your program and intake

    Check China Agricultural University's current prospectus for your degree, teaching language, eligibility and deadline. Arrange supervisor contact or pre-admission first when the program requires it.

    Read official admission instructions
  2. 2

    Prepare your documents

    Use the checklist below, then compare it with your program's required documents. Prepare any signed forms, translations and referee submissions before starting the final application.

  3. 3

    Complete the university application

    Use the official application link and complete the fields required for your route. Submit documents only through the channel and at the stage stated in the current notice. Pay a charge only when instructed; retain any submission confirmation the system provides.

    Open university application
  4. 4

    Review your offer and costs

    Check tuition, accommodation, insurance, payment deadlines and any financial-guarantee requirement. Accept the offer through the university's stated process. A CSC application is not part of a purely self-funded route.

  5. 5

    Track decisions and respond to requests

    Check your portal and email for missing-document requests, interviews and results. If a form is returned, correct it and resubmit. Keep admission and scholarship decisions separate; follow the final offer for acceptance, registration and original-document checks.

See annotated portal walkthroughs

Document checklist and upload instructions

Use the document list for your exact program. Prepare these common items, then add any scholarship-specific forms:

  • Identity: passport information page and photograph. Copy your name, birth date and passport number exactly into each application.
  • Education: diploma or official expected-graduation certificate, transcripts and any required degree authentication. Include the original language and certified translations where requested.
  • Language: the required HSK, IELTS, TOEFL or accepted alternative. A medium-of-instruction letter replaces a test only if the program allows it.
  • Academic materials: study plan or research proposal; graduate recommendation letters; supervisor or pre-admission letter when required. Some systems send referees a private submission link.
  • Additional requirements: CSCA results for applicable undergraduate routes; portfolio for relevant arts programs; medical form, police clearance, financial guarantee or guardian documents when listed. Check validity periods before arranging time-sensitive documents.

Scan each complete document clearly. Use the file type and size limit shown beside its upload field; combine multi-page documents only where the system permits. Open every uploaded file to check legibility, page order, signatures and stamps. Keep a copy of everything you submit.

Application templates
How to fill the university application

Follow the submission method in your programme's notice. The steps below apply when it requires an online form; email and paper applications follow their separate source-linked instructions above.

  1. Open the university link for your degree level. On an admissions website, find the international-student application entry, then register or sign in. Button names vary between systems.
  2. Choose the correct entry year, degree, teaching language and program. Read its requirements before selecting your funding option.
  3. Enter personal information as it appears in your passport. List education and employment dates accurately, and enter a reliable email address.
  4. Complete the study plan and referee fields. Upload each document to its matching slot; enter a CSC application number only if your route asks for one.
  5. Preview the whole application. Follow the fee instructions, submit the form and check that the system acknowledges submission. Saving a draft does not submit it.
How to fill the CSC application
  1. Open the CSC portal below and register or sign in. Complete your personal details before starting the scholarship application.
  2. Select the application category specified in the current scholarship call. Type A commonly uses a dispatching authority and Type B a university; confirm the exact category and agency number in that route's current notice and check the receiving institution displayed by the system.
  3. Select the degree category, teaching language, major and study period specified by the eligible program. Keep these consistent with your university application.
  4. Upload the requested documents, review all fields and submit. Download the completed application form; sign and upload it to the university or dispatching-authority system when instructed.
  5. Save your application number and a copy of the submitted form. If you withdraw to edit, submit again before the deadline and tell the receiving office if it already began reviewing your application.

University agency number on record: 10019. For Type B, match it to China Agricultural University in CSC. Type A uses your dispatching authority's number instead.

University background, academic strengths and sources

China Agricultural University traces its history to the agricultural faculty of the Imperial University of Peking (京师大学堂农科大学) established in 1905, and is described by the university as the birthplace of modern higher agricultural education in China. It is a key university directly under the Ministry of Education, listed in the national 211 and 985 Projects, and included in the 2017 world-class university construction list. In the second round of Double First Class construction announced in 2021, nine of its disciplines were selected: biology, agricultural engineering, food science and engineering, crop science, agricultural resources and environment, plant protection, animal husbandry, veterinary medicine, and grassland science. It runs the A5 alliance of top agricultural universities with Wageningen, UC Davis, Cornell and the University of São Paulo, and in 2018 established the Belt and Road South-South Cooperation Agricultural Education, Science and Technology Innovation League. Fields listed on this profile include College of Agronomy and Biotechnology, College of Biological Sciences, College of Engineering, College of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering. For 2027-2028 CSC applications, check the current university notice for eligible programs, funding categories, deadlines and required application systems before preparing documents or paying a fee.

China Agricultural University traces its component colleges to 1905 and is a Project 985, Project 211 and Double First-Class university in Beijing. Its offer includes agriculture, food and life-science fields. Compare the specific programme and research group; no matched applicant-and-award dataset establishes easier scholarship odds.

Its strength runs through agronomy and biotechnology, animal science, veterinary medicine, resources and environmental sciences, and agricultural economics and management, supported by experiment stations and field networks far beyond the Beijing campuses. Both English-taught and Chinese-taught master's and doctoral programs are offered under the CSC High-Level Postgraduate Program: the 2027 graduate notice accepts IELTS 6.0+, TOEFL iBT 90+ or an English-medium prior degree for English study and requires HSK Level 5 for Chinese study, and the eligible major lists are published with each cycle's notice, so match your field against the current list early.

CAU’s published 2027 graduate prospectus schedules the High-Level Postgraduate Type B route for 1 November 2026–28 February 2027 and requires a non-refundable CNY 400 fee. The prospectus says dates remain subject to the separate programme notices. This window is upcoming on 2 October 2026; use the named notice for programme eligibility, documents and submission steps.

Life at CAU means Haidian's academic ecosystem, Beijing's cold dry winters and hot summers, and Tier 1 living costs of roughly CNY 2,500 to 4,000 per month, with any accommodation or stipend benefit determined by the selected award. For students from agricultural economies, the degree's practical weight is hard to overstate: CAU research feeds directly into food security, breeding, and rural development policy across the developing world. Confirm the current major lists, fee, and deadlines on admissions.cau.edu.cn before you commit your two applications.

China Agricultural University CSC scholarship FAQ

What are my realistic chances of a CSC place at CAU?

CAU does not publish the application and award totals needed for a CSC acceptance rate. Applicants in agricultural and life sciences should show a relevant record, clear research motivation, and any supervisor support required by the current program.

Do I need a supervisor's acceptance letter?

Follow CAU’s named programme notice for its supervisor-document requirement. Contact a relevant group with a specific research proposal when requested; no source supports a quantified advantage from an optional letter.

Does China Agricultural University accept CSC Type B applications?

China Agricultural University appears in our directory based on prior CSC host or program evidence. For 2027-2028 Type B participation, consult the university's current international-admissions notice and confirm the application channel and Agency Number before applying.

Is the CSC scholarship at China Agricultural University fully funded?

A full Chinese Government Scholarship normally covers tuition, accommodation or a housing subsidy, medical insurance, and a monthly stipend. That does not prove China Agricultural University will offer a full Type B award in 2027-2028: some routes are partial or unavailable, so confirm the current notice and your final award letter.

What is the application deadline for China Agricultural University?

The latest official information checked October 2, 2026 says: China Agricultural University has already published its 2027 intake windows, and none of them is open on 2 October 2026 — all are upcoming, with opening dates in the future. The 2027 international undergraduate admission information (released 3 September 2026) gives the undergraduate application period as 1 November 2026 to 31 May 2027, submitted entirely online through apply.cau.edu.cn, so this opens on 1 November 2026. The 2027 international graduate admission information (released 3 September 2026) sets four separate graduate windows for the 2027 intake: the CSC High Level Graduate Student Program (Type B) from 1 November 2026 to 28 February 2027; the CSC Silk Road Program (Type B) during March to May 2027; the CSC Type A Bilateral Program according to the notice issued by the Chinese mission in the applicant's own country; the Beijing Government Scholarship for International Students from November 2026 to May 2027; and other scholarship programmes and self-funded applicants from November 2026 to June 2027. The graduate notice explicitly states that dates are subject to the specific notices on the website. For the 2026 intake every window has closed: the 2026 undergraduate notice set 1 March to 15 June 2026, the 2026 CSC High Level Graduate Student Program prospectus set 1 November 2025 to 28 February 2026, and the 2026 CSC Silk Road Program ran in spring 2026. No window of any kind is open at CAU on 28 September 2026. The 2027 general admission windows are scheduled to open 1 November 2026; later program-specific notices may revise dates. These are published future windows, not applications currently open on 2 October. Check the current notice for your degree, route, and intake before applying.

What can I study at China Agricultural University on a CSC scholarship?

Fields listed for China Agricultural University in Beijing include College of Agronomy and Biotechnology, College of Biological Sciences, College of Engineering, College of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering. If its current CSC notice confirms your degree level and subject, use the official program catalogue to check the teaching language and identify a suitable supervisor.

Does China Agricultural University charge an application fee?

The application fee at China Agricultural University is CNY 400 per person and is stated as non-refundable in the admission notices that publish a fee. The 2027 international undergraduate admission information (2027年中国农业大学国际学生本科生招生简章, released 3 September 2026) states 报名费：400元（不予退还）in its 费用（人民币元）section, and adds 申请报名费不予退还 in the application-materials notes. The 2027 international graduate admission information (2027年中国农业大学国际学生研究生招生简章, released 3 September 2026) states 申请费（不退）：400元 and requires payment of the CNY 400 fee at the point of submitting the application in the university system.
