Application dates, fees and sources

The April 10, 2026 undergraduate and three-year master’s prospectuses each explicitly give June 30, 2026 as their own application deadline. The foundation brochure of that date gives September entry but no cutoff. The separate April 17, 2026 Guangdong Government Outstanding Foreign Student Scholarship call gives May 1–July 30 for submission, eligibility and university/provincial assessment. Those dated award/degree cutoffs have passed. None establishes a 2027 opening. Undergraduate pre-admission generally appears within one month and requires first-year tuition/accommodation prepayment; postgraduate confirmation instead uses an unspecified non-refundable deposit applied to registration/application and first-semester accommodation. The reviewed prospectuses do not establish a university-managed CSC route or agency number.

For Guangdong Pharmaceutical 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 2026 foundation prospectus lists a non-refundable CNY 500 application fee and waives the undergraduate application fee for students continuing from foundation. Undergraduate and graduate application-charge amounts are otherwise unstated. The undergraduate brochure prints tuition of CNY 18,000 for English International Economics and Trade and 20,000 for Chinese Clinical Medicine without explicitly stating a billing period. Undergraduate Daxuecheng four-bed accommodation is CNY 2,500/year; foundation Chigang four-bed accommodation is CNY 3,000/year. Foundation tuition totals CNY 16,000 for one year and its insurance is CNY 400/semester or 800/year. The graduate brochure specifies a non-refundable admission deposit of unstated amount, applied to registration/application and first-semester accommodation.

2026 international undergraduate admission

Use the university-linked GDPU online system and choose the programme; its historical deadline was June 30, 2026. Supply the academic/language documents required in the system. The school checks completeness/authenticity and may request supplements. Pre-admission generally appears within one month; confirm by prepaying first-academic-year tuition and accommodation within the notified limit. Missing payment forfeits pre-admission. Formal admission and emailed electronic JW202 support the visa application; retain originals for registration. The brochure does not publish a complete upload checklist or a general undergraduate application-fee amount. Undergraduate dormitories are limited and subject to final university confirmation.

Reference: 2026 historical intake. Confirm the latest notice for the same course and route before applying.

Undergraduate academic/language requirements and fees

Provide a high-school qualification with GPA at least 3/4 or equivalent and physics/mathematics, biology and chemistry; GCE A-Level subjects are C or above.

Non-native-English applicants need TOEFL iBT at least 68, IELTS at least 5.5, Duolingo at least 100 or equivalent; English-country citizenship/permanent residence and/or documented English instruction and assessment can support exemption.

Three-year master’s application and supervisor sequence

The master’s deadline was June 30, 2026. Choose a major in the same online system, upload files no larger than 1.5mb each and monitor system/email for interview arrangements, expected in early June. A supervisor letter is supplementary at initial submission; the admission office helps contact supervisors, and the letter must be supplemented after a successful interview. Passing school and supervisor checks leads to an electronic pre-admission offer. Pay the notified non-refundable admission deposit within its stated limit; its amount is unstated and it is applied to registration/application and first-semester accommodation. Deposit confirmation precedes formal electronic admission/JW202 and an X1 visa application. PhD template sentences in this master’s brochure do not establish an open doctoral programme.

Reference: 2026 historical intake. Confirm the latest notice for the same course and route before applying.

Master’s eligibility, language and complete uploads

Chinese sets an age not exceeding 35; English says under 35. A full-time bachelor’s education and degree recognised by China’s Ministry of Education are required. Professional master’s needs HSK 4; Chinese-medium bachelor’s graduates applying for clinical professional master’s need HSK 5. Upload a white-background two-inch JPG photo at least 320×240 pixels, 100–200 KB; passport valid at least 18 months; and, if in China, residence permit valid at least 30 days. Add degree/expected-graduation evidence with seal, transcripts for all courses at the highest qualification level, two associate-professor-or-higher references valid two years, complete CV from high school with non-fresh work/licence evidence, handwritten signature, medical/police records valid six months and optional research/awards.

Master’s financial evidence and translation conflicts

Provide the guarantor’s valid identity copy and a bank-deposit certificate of at least CNY 50,000 or equivalent, issued within six months. Chinese requires notarised Chinese/English translations of other-language documents; the English bank-proof clause asks for both Chinese and English, so confirm the accepted translation format. The English supervisor paragraph mistakenly names Xuzhou Medical University, while the Chinese and surrounding instructions concern GDPU; use the GDPU system and confirm the template error with its admissions office. The master’s brochure does not publish a tuition tariff or deposit amount.

One-year foundation programme: separate non-degree process

The 2026 foundation brochure offers September entry, one year of study and no prior Chinese requirement, for non-Chinese high-school graduates aged 18–34. It does not give an application cutoff. Apply through GDPU’s system with passport photo/blank-visa pages, notarised high-school qualification and Chinese-listed transcripts, police record and complete medical form, with Chinese/English translations. Initial review and interview precede payment of the non-refundable CNY 500 application fee and formal admission. Tuition totals CNY 16,000 for the year; Chigang four-bed accommodation is CNY 3,000/year and insurance CNY 400/semester or 800/year. Completion gives a certificate. Passing CSCA with good conduct can support undergraduate priority, and strong results can support provincial recommendation; neither guarantees admission or funding. Continuing undergraduates are exempt from the undergraduate application fee.

  • 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.
