Applicants to the 2027 MSc in Business Information Systems, including international applicants; a recognised bachelor's degree or equivalent plus the published English requirement (IELTS 6.0, or CET-6 425+, or TOEFL iBT).

Programme details

2027 entry MSc in Business Information Systems, including international applicants; this named master's route only, not a university-wide intake. The official programme page carries a status line reading "Application opens — Until July 5th, 2027" (Chinese: 开放申请 / 截止至2027年7月5日) with admission offers on a rolling basis, and the site provides an Apply entry point, so the university's own page presents this route as open with a published closing date. No opening day is printed, so no exact opening day is claimed here. Published costs, stated on the same page to apply to both Chinese and international students: the application fee is free; tuition is RMB 155,000 per student per academic year; on-campus accommodation is RMB 1,200 per student per academic year for a double room or RMB 3,000 for a single room, each covering ten months. After a conditional offer, applicants must pay an initial tuition deposit of RMB 30,000, or the full first-year tuition, by the stated deadline, and the full first-year tuition before enrolment. Programme duration is two years, maximum three, full-time. Enrolment runs August 21–22, 2027 and classes begin August 30, 2027. The page names no scholarship for this route, so funding remains unknown. English requirements as published: IELTS 6.0 overall, or CET-6 at 425 or above, or TOEFL iBT; the page prints the pre-21 January 2026 TOEFL threshold as 79 and prints a later-testing figure that is not legible as a number in the served page, so no post-January 2026 TOEFL score is quoted here.
