Application dates, fees and sources

Harbin Institute of Technology publishes a dated application period for the September 2026 intake. Its master's and doctoral admissions pages (College of International Education, studyathit.hit.edu.cn) state plainly that 'the deadline for September 2026 intake is May 31st, 2026' for self-financed applicants; that date has passed. For the Chinese Government Scholarship (Type B) the same pages and the dedicated CSC page give two stages: Stage 1 closed on 31 December 2025 and Stage 2 closed on 20 February 2026, with applications opening 1 November 2025. CSC Type A has no university date — it is 'subject to notification from a Chinese embassy or consulate', and applicants apply through the embassy with HIT named as first-priority institution. The HIT International Students Scholarship carried a 31 May 2026 deadline, the same date as self-funded admission, and its award tiers are settled at admission. The recorded 17 September 2026 degree-source review did not establish a notice for the September 2027 degree intake, so the May 2027 window can only be described as an approximation based on the 2026 pattern. The 2026 graduate self-funded/HIT-award deadline was 31 May; the 2026 bachelor self-funded/HIT-award deadline was 15 July. Both have passed. The HIT scholarship fee is CNY 600, versus CNY 400 for self-funded applicants. A separate winter short-term route has a 30 November cutoff; its opening date is not stated. The recorded degree-source review did not establish a 2027 degree deadline. Separately, the long-term Chinese-language HTML page read on 3 October 2026 explicitly dates spring study March–June 2027 with a 15 January 2027 application deadline and autumn study September–December 2027 with a 15 July 2027 deadline; it states no opening date. The short-term HTML page dates winter study 28 December 2026–22 January 2027 with a November 30 cutoff, without printing a year beside the cutoff. Read that cutoff within this stated winter cycle; confirm its exact timestamp with HIT. These are non-degree language routes, not 2027 degree/CSC deadlines. The linked yearless long-term PDF differs on fee, minimum age, portal and submission order; confirm the current course instructions before payment.

For Harbin Institute of Technology, 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: Self-funded (CNY 600 with HIT scholarship). The dated 2027 long-term language page lists a CNY 500 application fee and says all paid fees are non-refundable. Its linked yearless brochure instead lists CNY 400/USD 60 and a different age threshold, portal and payment order. Confirm the current course instructions before paying; these language-route figures do not replace recorded degree/HIT-scholarship fees.
