Application dates, fees and sources
Hangzhou Normal University publishes dated stages for the 2026/2027 intake through its International Education College scholarship pages (gjjyxy.hznu.edu.cn/gljxj/). The 2026 Chinese Government Scholarship — Chinese University Program (高校自主招生项目) notice, published 1 March 2026, sets the application deadline at 30 April 2026 for full-time master's study beginning in the 2026 autumn term, with the awardee list sent to the China Scholarship Council for review in May 2026 and admission notices issued in July 2026; that window has now closed. The Chinese Government Scholarship country bilateral programme (国别双边项目) notice was published 1 December 2025 and is applied for through the Chinese embassy in the applicant's home country rather than through the university. The 2026 International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship (国际中文教师奖学金) notice, published 1 March 2026, opened online application on 1 March 2026 with deadlines of 15 May 2026 for September 2026 entry and 31 October 2026 for March 2027 entry, both Beijing time — the September 2026 deadline has passed and the March 2027 deadline is still open. A separate 2026 CSC annual review notice was published 15 April 2026. As of 17 September 2026 no notice for a 2027/2028 degree intake has been published.
For Hangzhou Normal 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: Hangzhou Normal University's '2026 HZNU Fee Structures for International Student Programs', published 2026-03-04, lists 'Application Fee — All Applicants (Non Refundable) — RMB 400'. The Chinese version reads '申请费 400 元（不予退还）'. The fee is therefore explicitly non-refundable and applies to all applicants.

University background, academic strengths and sources
Hangzhou Normal University is a teacher-training university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, which its English site states was founded as a teacher training school in 1908. It is listed on the Chinese Government Scholarship host-institution list. Its English site states it has 24 schools, 105 undergraduate programmes and 7 PhD programmes. International students are administered by the International Education College (国际教育学院), which also runs a Chinese Government Scholarship, a Zhejiang Provincial Government Scholarship, a Hangzhou Municipal Government Scholarship and its own international student scholarship. Fields listed on this profile include International Education College, School of Humanities, School of Education, School of Foreign Languages. For 2027-2028 CSC applications, check the current university notice for eligible programs, funding categories, deadlines and required application systems before preparing documents or paying a fee.
Hangzhou Normal University traces its teacher-training origins to 1908 and took its current name in 2007. It is a Zhejiang provincial university with programmes in education, sciences, psychology and business. Historical ESI figures should not be read as a current ranking or as evidence of scholarship selection chances.
The 2026 university-independent CSC notice covers master’s study, with a 30 April 2026 deadline and two online applications: CSC using agency number 10346, and HZNU’s international student system. Chinese-taught programmes require HSK 5/180. Its fee table lists CNY 400 and the CSC notice asks for payment proof. Separate provincial, city, university and ICLTS awards have their own terms; do not assume they can be combined.
Choose a named programme and verify its current teaching language and supervisor arrangements. The located 2026 CSC notice does not establish a doctoral funded intake or a six-discipline international doctoral boundary. Hangzhou offers a city setting with education, science and business programmes, but funding, language and supervision must be confirmed for the chosen route.

City snapshot
- Climate:
- Humid subtropical with four sharply distinct seasons. Summers are hot and very humid, regularly above 35C in July and August, with a plum rain period in June. Winters are short, damp and chilly, hovering just above freezing, and buildings rely on air conditioning rather than central heating, so bring warm indoor clothing.
- Living costs:
- Budget roughly CNY 1,500 to 2,500 per month for food, transport and personal costs if your accommodation is covered by a scholarship. Hangzhou is a wealthy tier-one-adjacent city and noticeably pricier than inland university towns. If you are self-funded, HZNU's published 2026 figures give an application fee of CNY 400 (non-refundable), insurance from CNY 800 per academic year, a residence permit fee of CNY 800 per year for degree students, master's tuition of roughly CNY 18,000 to 24,800 per year depending on field, and doctoral tuition of roughly CNY 25,000 to 30,000 per year, with dormitory rates quoted in the range of CNY 25 to 45 per person per day. Confirm all of these against the current fee table. Monthly living-cost ranges are CSC Path planning estimates, not official university tariffs. Budget for housing unless your selected award expressly covers it.
- Student life:
- The main international student base is the Cangqian campus in Yuhang District, on the western edge of Hangzhou, roughly an hour from West Lake by metro and bus. It is a purpose-built suburban campus, quiet and self-contained, rather than a downtown one. Hangzhou itself is one of China's most liveable cities: West Lake, the Grand Canal, tea country in Longjing, an excellent metro, and a genuine tech job market anchored by Alibaba and its supplier ecosystem, which matters if you are studying anything commerce or IT related. Confirm the campus allocation with your admitting programme before accepting an offer.

Official websiteHangzhou Normal University CSC scholarship FAQ
Does Hangzhou Normal University host the CSC / Chinese Government Scholarship?
Yes. HZNU published a university-independent CSC notice on 1 March 2026 covering master’s study, with a 30 April 2026 deadline. It requires both CSC and HZNU online applications. That notice does not print the portal’s A/B category; obtain the current instruction before selecting it rather than calling the direct route Type A.
What is Hangzhou Normal University's agency number for the CSC portal?
The university’s own 2026 CSC notice states agency number 10346 in both Chinese and English. Use that explicit scholarship instruction, not a deduction from the Ministry institution identifier. Confirm the number again in the notice for your intake.
What scholarships are available at Hangzhou Normal University besides CSC?
HZNU also lists International Chinese Language Teachers, Zhejiang Provincial Government, Hangzhou Municipal Government and university scholarships. Their current amounts and compatibility rules require separate notices. The ICLTS notice of 1 March 2026 sets 15 May 2026 for September entry and 31 October 2026 for March 2027 entry, through chinese.cn.
How competitive is it, and what is a realistic assessment?
HZNU is not a 985, 211, or Double First-Class university, but those labels do not establish an easier scholarship probability. Its clearest program fits include education, biology, psychology, and the Alibaba Business School's digital business and management-science areas. Verify the current funded-seat notice, secure a named supervisor where required, apply within the stated window, and include HZNU only as part of a well-matched broader shortlist.
Does Hangzhou Normal University accept CSC Type B applications?
Hangzhou Normal University appears in our directory based on prior CSC host or program evidence. For 2027-2028 Type B participation, consult the university's current international-admissions notice and confirm the application channel and Agency Number before applying.
Is the CSC scholarship at Hangzhou Normal University fully funded?
A full Chinese Government Scholarship normally covers tuition, accommodation or a housing subsidy, medical insurance, and a monthly stipend. That does not prove Hangzhou Normal University will offer a full Type B award in 2027-2028: some routes are partial or unavailable, so confirm the current notice and your final award letter.
What is the application deadline for Hangzhou Normal University?
The latest official information checked September 17, 2026 says: Hangzhou Normal University publishes dated stages for the 2026/2027 intake through its International Education College scholarship pages (gjjyxy.hznu.edu.cn/gljxj/). The 2026 Chinese Government Scholarship — Chinese University Program (高校自主招生项目) notice, published 1 March 2026, sets the application deadline at 30 April 2026 for full-time master's study beginning in the 2026 autumn term, with the awardee list sent to the China Scholarship Council for review in May 2026 and admission notices issued in July 2026; that window has now closed. The Chinese Government Scholarship country bilateral programme (国别双边项目) notice was published 1 December 2025 and is applied for through the Chinese embassy in the applicant's home country rather than through the university. The 2026 International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship (国际中文教师奖学金) notice, published 1 March 2026, opened online application on 1 March 2026 with deadlines of 15 May 2026 for September 2026 entry and 31 October 2026 for March 2027 entry, both Beijing time — the September 2026 deadline has passed and the March 2027 deadline is still open. A separate 2026 CSC annual review notice was published 15 April 2026. As of 17 September 2026 no notice for a 2027/2028 degree intake has been published. Check the current notice for your degree, route, and intake before applying.
What can I study at Hangzhou Normal University on a CSC scholarship?
Fields listed for Hangzhou Normal University in Hangzhou, Zhejiang include International Education College, School of Humanities, School of Education, School of Foreign Languages. If its current CSC notice confirms your degree level and subject, use the official program catalogue to check the teaching language and identify a suitable supervisor.
Does Hangzhou Normal University charge an application fee?
Hangzhou Normal University's '2026 HZNU Fee Structures for International Student Programs', published 2026-03-04, lists 'Application Fee — All Applicants (Non Refundable) — RMB 400'. The Chinese version reads '申请费 400 元（不予退还）'. The fee is therefore explicitly non-refundable and applies to all applicants.
