Application dates, fees and sources
Hefei University publishes a dated window in its Hefei University International Students Admission Guide 2026, issued 1 April 2026 by the School of International Education in Chinese and English. The guide sets a single application cut-off of 1 June for all three applicant categories - bachelor's (four-year), master's (three-year) and non-degree Chinese language students (one year) - with enrolment in September and, for bachelor's applicants, entry via the National College Entrance Examination for International Students in China. That 2026 intake has closed as of September 2026 and no 2027 guide or notice had been published when this profile was checked. The university's own President Scholarship (校长奖学金) is applied for in June each year, and shortlisted applicants are contacted by the admissions mailbox. Applications to the Chinese Government Scholarship are directed by the university to the CSC timetable on the CSC official site rather than to a university-published date, so no Hefei-specific CSC deadline is published; the university names itself a Chinese Government Scholarship training institution and a "Study in Anhui" host without publishing the Anhui provincial scholarship deadline on its scholarship pages.
For Hefei 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: Hefei University publishes an application (registration) fee of CNY 400 on the fee table of its Hefei University International Students Admission Guide 2026 (合肥大学来华留学生招生简章 2026), issued 1 April 2026 by the School of International Education. The table lists 报名费 400元, and note 3 under the programme table instructs applicants to transfer the registration fee to the Hefei University account when submitting their application materials, quoting the applicant's passport name in the transfer remark and emailing the transfer receipt to the admissions mailbox. The same table lists tuition separately at CNY 14,000-21,000 per year for undergraduates, CNY 18,000-20,000 for master's, CNY 14,000 for preparatory students, accommodation at CNY 1,200 per year for a double room and CNY 1,000 per year for a quad room (including small triple rooms), insurance at CNY 400 per semester and a campus card fee of CNY 10, so the CNY 400 recorded here is the registration fee and not tuition.
