Its Chinese Government Scholarship "High-Level Postgraduate" Program (2026/2027) closed on 16 January 2026 - a notably early cut-off - with applications filed in the CSC system as Type B under accepting-agency number 10475 and duplicated in the university's own online system; that notice was published on 14 November 2025 and covers master's study of three years and doctoral study of four years with enrolment in September 2026. For self-funded study, the 2025-2026 international undergraduate brochure set the application cut-off at 1 June 2025, with electronic admission notices and JW202 forms issued in early July for September enrolment, the source does not establish any later undergraduate opening or closing date. The International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship runs fixed annual rounds - 15 April for July entry, 15 May for September entry, 15 September for December entry and 31 October for March entry. The Silk Road Chinese Government Scholarship notice for 2025-2026 was published on 6 December 2024. The dated 2026/2027 CSC postgraduate deadline has passed. The yearless ICLTS rules above do not establish that every route is closed. The undergraduate date formerly described as an expected early-June 2026 window is not supported by a current notice. The last located self-funded undergraduate brochure is for 2025/26; no 2026/27 or 2027/28 undergraduate opening/closing date was verified. The 2026/27 CSC postgraduate dates above are closed and apply only to that graduate route.

Document checklist and upload instructions
Use the document list for your exact program. Prepare these common items, then add any scholarship-specific forms:
- Identity: passport information page and photograph. Copy your name, birth date and passport number exactly into each application.
- Education: diploma or official expected-graduation certificate, transcripts and any required degree authentication. Include the original language and certified translations where requested.
- Language: the required HSK, IELTS, TOEFL or accepted alternative. A medium-of-instruction letter replaces a test only if the program allows it.
- Academic materials: study plan or research proposal; graduate recommendation letters; supervisor or pre-admission letter when required. Some systems send referees a private submission link.
- 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.
