Application dates, fees and sources
The university's Chinese-language standing application pages give annual June 30 degree cutoffs (in principle for bachelor's/master's), July 10 for autumn Chinese-language entry and December 30 for spring language entry. They do not name an academic year or an opening date, so they do not establish a dated 2027 window. A separate official two-image brochure explicitly headed 2026 CSC Type B gives November 1, 2025–January 30, 2026 for master's/doctoral applications. That round is closed and required CSC agency 10151 plus a ZIP emailed to study@dlmu.edu.cn; no second DMU portal application or paper mailing was required. The June 26, 2026 Liaoning notice publicises two proposed new-student recipients without application dates. A June 25, 2026 extension rule states that Liaoning doctoral funding lasts three years of a four-year programme: year four tuition is waived, without academic allowance or supervisor stipend and with on-campus residence required; other year-four costs and all costs from year five use self-funded rates. The older March 31, 2021 CSC call is historical. No separately dated 2027 incoming schedule was established in the reviewed notices and index on October 3, 2026.
For Dalian Maritime University, refer to the current official admissions notice for opening and closing dates by program and intake. Dates from a previous intake should not be used as the next intake's deadline. Directory-wide opening checks were last completed September 14, 2026.
Fee note: The undated official fee schedule lists CNY 600 for degree and general/senior scholar applications, CNY 400 for one-to-four-week Chinese-language courses and CNY 500 for five weeks through one academic year. Its general header requires application-fee payment before the deadline and mentions a seat-confirmation deposit after acceptance. The standing Chinese programme procedures instead place the application fee and tuition after document approval. Confirm the applicable intake's payment notification before paying. The application fee is non-refundable under the standing tariff. The separate 2026 CSC brochure does not specify an application charge or exemption and requires CSC plus email rather than DMU's online portal. Current 2027 tariff applicability and deposit amount remain unconfirmed.

- Tuition notes
- English-taught rates are consistently higher than Chinese-taught rates at every degree level. The Chinese Government Scholarship programme table on campuschina.org had previously shown CNY 20,000-22,000 per academic year for DMU; the university's own FEES page is the authoritative schedule and is more granular. The FEES page note states that for degree programmes tuition of one academic year must be paid in full and payment by installments is not allowed.

- Medical insurance
- CNY 800 one year; CNY 400 half a year; CNY 320 three months; CNY 240 two months; CNY 160 one month. The FEES page states 'DMU requires all international students to have sufficient medical insurance throughout the duration of study' and that 'Failure to offer insurance documents will result in refusal to registration.'
- Registration fee
- No separate registration fee is published on the DMU FEES page; the application fee (CNY 600) is the only application-stage charge listed there.
- Deposit
- The Admission Brochure states an accepted applicant must 'send us all the application documents and pay deposit to confirm your place at DMU if your application is accepted', but no deposit amount is published on the pages read.

The standing undergraduate checklist requires CSCA; this requirement is not listed in the reviewed master's or doctoral checklists. The degree pages require a blood report covering HIV/V.D.R.L., HbsAg and HCV. The freshly read 2026 CSC brochure lists no economic-guarantee document, so the previously recorded guarantee requirement is not established for that call. These are standing general-admission ages, not the 2026 CSC age limits. The Chinese pages use 18周岁以上 and 35/40/50/60周岁以下; confirm boundary interpretation with DMU.
