Application dates, fees and sources
The GSCAAS 2026 international call, updated November 27, 2025, set March 31, 2026 for Chinese Government Scholarship applicants and April 30, 2026 for GSCAAS Scholarship applicants for autumn enrolment; both dates have passed. Their opening dates are unstated. That call gives no separate self-funded cutoff. The standing Semesters and Fees page prints April 30 for autumn and December 31 for spring without an intake year; these rules do not establish a current 2027 application window. The call expected admission/JW201/JW202 documents around July 15, 2026. The reviewed English admission page and notice index did not establish a 2027–2028 incoming window. Bilateral applicants need GSCAAS pre-admission before their country authority’s deadline; OWSD applicants follow its separate call. The 2015 scholarship page is historical and does not supersede the dated 2026 deadlines.
For GSCAAS, 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 Graduate School of CAAS 'Call for 2026 International Students Programs' states under '4.1 Application Fee, Tuition, and Costs': 'Application Fee (charged after admission); Master's Student/Doctoral Student: 600 Yuan/person; General Scholar/Senior Scholar: 400 Yuan/person.' The wording 'charged after admission' means the fee is not collected at the point of application. The older 'Semesters and Fees' page gives the same figures as 'Master Student / Ph.D. Student: 600 RMB /person. Visiting scholar/Senior Visiting Scholar: 400 Yuan/person'. Neither page states whether the fee is refundable, so refundability is not established by any official source opened at this check.

- Tuition per year
- The 2026 call lists annual tuition of CNY 30,000/person for master’s and general scholars, and CNY 40,000/person for doctoral and senior scholars, payable at the beginning of the academic year. It lists no bachelor’s or preparatory-language rate. These are historical category-based amounts; a 2027 rate is not established.
- Tuition notes
- The 2026 notice states the instruction language of the graduate programmes is mostly English or bilingual (Chinese-English); no separate English-taught tuition rate is published — the rate differs by level and category rather than by language. The notice adds that students with scholarships should follow the terms specified in the Scholarship Guideline. Basic duration of study for both master's and doctoral degrees is three years.

- Registration fee
- The 2026 call lists application charges payable after admission: CNY 600 for master’s/doctoral students and CNY 400 for general/senior scholars. It does not specify a separate registration charge or an exemption from those application charges. A separate scholarship page dated December 8, 2015 described a CGS registration-fee waiver; that historical wording does not prove a 2026 or 2027 application-fee exemption. The 2026 OWSD description treats tuition/registration study fees under the host-institute agreement.

- Not stated on any page read.
- Residence permit
- Not stated as a fee; the GSCAAS-OWSD fellowship description lists 'Visa expenses' as covered by that fellowship only.
- Physical examination
- Not stated as a fee. A Foreigner Physical Examination Form is a required document, to be completed at hospitals designated by the Chinese Embassy with blood test results attached; the page states the medical examination results are valid for 6 months but publishes no charge.
- Entry requirements
- The 2026 call requires non-Chinese citizenship, health and English and/or Chinese proficiency, without a universal IELTS/TOEFL/HSK admission score. Master’s applicants need a bachelor’s and age under 35; doctoral applicants a master’s and under 40; general scholars two undergraduate years and under 45; senior scholars a master’s or associate-professor-level title and under 50. Upload the form, passport valid at least two years, notarized qualification, sealed transcripts, two professor/equivalent references, CV, research proposal of at least 1,000 characters or words, language proof, thesis abstract and full thesis if written in English, up to five published-paper abstracts, employer no-objection certificate, medical report valid six months and police record usually within six months. General acceptance letters are optional; Bilateral pre-admission requires a supervisor letter. Diploma translations may be Chinese/English; transcripts require notarized English translations under the notice’s wording. HSK 5/3 are graduation conditions, not admission minima.
- 2026/27 scholarship deadlines
- The 2026 call set March 31, 2026 for Chinese Government Scholarship applicants and April 30, 2026 for GSCAAS Scholarship applicants; both have passed. The reviewed 2026 call and English notice index do not establish a 2027–2028 incoming window.
