Non-Chinese citizens holding a valid ordinary foreign passport, abiding by Chinese laws, regulations and university rules, honest and trustworthy, in good physical health. The passport personal information page must be provided with passport validity of more than 1 year. Those who were originally Chinese citizens and later acquired foreign nationality must also provide a household registration cancellation certificate and proof of foreign nationality acquisition.

CSCA (来华留学本科入学学业水平测试) requirement

A CSCA score report is required: "来华留学本科入学学业水平测试（CSCA）成绩单（数学为必考科目，选择化学、物理作为附加科目）" — Mathematics is a compulsory subject; Chemistry or Physics can be selected as an additional subject. This is item 9 of the undergraduate document checklist, so the requirement is stated in the 2026 brochure; no minimum score is published.

1+5 route progression rule

For students under the 1+5-year programme, those who obtain the HSK Level 4 certificate after one year may apply to start undergraduate studies in Clinical Medicine. Those who fail to obtain the certificate may choose to leave the university or follow the admission requirements for the 5-year programme students.

5-year route probation rule

For 5-year programme students who do not hold an HSK Level 4 certificate upon admission but possess corresponding Chinese proficiency, they may apply to take the Standards for Chinese Language Proficiency examination organised by the university. Those who pass obtain admission eligibility and are allowed a one-year probationary study in Clinical Medicine, during which they must obtain the HSK Level 4 certificate; failure results in cancellation of probationary eligibility.

Scholarships offered

Two scholarship programmes: the Hainan Provincial Government Scholarship for International Students (海南省政府国际学生奖学金) and the ASEAN Scholarship (东盟奖学金). Funding duration for undergraduates is 4–6 years, corresponding to the length of the academic programme; for master's students it is 3 years. The scholarship covers tuition fees, accommodation fees and medical insurance premiums; all other expenses shall be borne by the students themselves.

Scholarship eligibility conditions

Applicants must be qualified to apply for the university's degree-seeking international student programmes and must not be recipients of the Chinese Government Scholarship or any other types of scholarships.

Scholarship annual review

Scholarship recipients must participate in the annual scholarship review after enrolment. Those who fail the review shall have their scholarship eligibility suspended or revoked.

Scholarship amount and quota

The 2026 degree prospectus states scholarship coverage of tuition, accommodation and medical insurance but supplies no monetary stipend or exact quota. An earlier review recorded 名额若干 in a separate scholarship notice; that earlier wording does not establish a freshly verified quota for a later cycle.

2026 intake deadlines

20 May 2026 — deadline for applications for Hainan Government Scholarships for international students; 15 July 2026 — deadline for self-funded student applications; 15 September 2026 — deadline for registration.

Intake status checked 7 October 2026

The 2026 scholarship, self-funded application and registration deadlines (20 May, 15 July and 15 September, respectively) had all passed by 24 September 2026. The official incoming-prospectus index reviewed on 7 October 2026 still lists the January 27, 2026 prospectus. A 2027 incoming degree notice was not recovered from the reviewed sources; this does not establish universal non-publication. The 2027 intake dates and acceptance remain unconfirmed.

Institutional figures stated in the brochure

The January 27, 2026 international prospectus reports the following institution figures and ESI standings; they are attributed to that notice and are not freshly dated ranking results: 15,340 full-time students, including 12,207 undergraduates (of whom 633 are international students) and 1,760 master's and doctoral students. 36 undergraduate programmes across medicine, science, management and engineering. Three directly affiliated tertiary A general hospitals with a total of 7,020 open beds, plus 10 non-directly affiliated hospitals, 12 teaching hospitals and 2 jointly built disease control centres. 15 national key clinical specialties and 7 provincial key disciplines. Clinical Medicine ranks among the top 5‰ in the ESI discipline rankings; Pharmacology & Toxicology ranks among the top 1%. Three campuses covering 1,416.71 mu.

Graduation certificate naming caution

The major name printed on the university's graduation and degree certificates is "clinical medicine". Applicants for the 1+5-year and 5-year Clinical Medicine programmes are advised to verify with the competent authorities in their home country in advance whether they can obtain corresponding professional practice qualifications after graduation.
