Five named engineering bachelor programmes / ten named countries

Complete both Huaqiao’s university portal and CSC by May 15, 2026. Select the Silk Road scholarship in Huaqiao’s system and Type B, agency 10385, in CSC. The call requires both filings without a fixed first-system order. University eligibility/material assessment precedes recommendation to CSC; final selection precedes admission and visa documents. This historical undergraduate call does not establish a graduate CSC route or current 2027 acceptance. Applicants below its degree-entry Chinese/CSCA threshold first take the funded preparatory year.

Reference: 2026 Silk Road bachelor; historical, closed May 15, 2026. Confirm the latest notice for the same course and route before applying.

Countries, degree entry and award scope

Degree entry requires HSK 5≥180 plus the printed CSCA Professional Chinese/Mathematics threshold of 50; otherwise a funded preparatory year precedes degree study. Annual review controls continuation. The award covers tuition, accommodation, CNY 2,500/month and insurance CNY 800/year; no separate application-fee amount is printed.

Overseas-Chinese bachelor award with return-service commitment

In-service teachers and Chinese Bridge recipients

In-service Chinese teachers add employment proof and an employer reference, with priority under equal conditions.

Chinese-passport residence evidence and certification

For Chinese-passport overseas-Chinese applicants and a qualifying parent, the 2026 guide requires permanent/long-term residence and two continuous years abroad with at least 18 months’ actual residence; alternatively, five years’ legal residence with at least 30 months abroad. The applicant’s actual residence must fall within the two/five years before filing. Study abroad and official postings do not count as overseas-Chinese residence under this guide. Provide applicant/parent passports and residence records, relationship proof, applicable identity cards and official entry/exit records. Foreign-issued documents require Chinese embassy certification/notarization or the applicable Apostille pathway; non-Chinese versions need qualified Chinese translation. Keep originals for arrival checks. Foreign-passport applicants follow the separate nationality/history checklist in the same guide, rather than these Chinese-passport residence pathways.

University undergraduate/pre-university filing

The December 6, 2025 prospectus accepted applications from publication until May 31, 2026 in Huaqiao’s portal. Choose a programme, upload the required file and follow review feedback; incomplete materials within the stated period are treated as withdrawn. The university may conduct additional assessment and verifies identity/health at arrival. Check the programme’s HSK rules and special nationality requirements before filing. Admission/award status and visa-document instructions follow selection. No separate application-fee amount is printed for this route; this does not make all Huaqiao programmes free.

Tuition prepayment, accommodation and collected costs

The reporting date was September 12, 2026. Accepted self-funded students could prepay first-year tuition through the notice’s linked finance system by that date; listed fully funded scholarship students did not need that online tuition payment. Confirm passport/name or admission number, programme and bill before paying; overseas bank-card service fees may apply. Accommodation is payable after reporting/room assignment, and roughly CNY 2,000 textbook, insurance and medical costs after reporting under the college notice.

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.

How to fill the university application

Follow the submission method in your programme's notice. The steps below apply when it requires an online form; email and paper applications follow their separate source-linked instructions above.

  1. Open the university link for your degree level. On an admissions website, find the international-student application entry, then register or sign in. Button names vary between systems.
  2. Choose the correct entry year, degree, teaching language and program. Read its requirements before selecting your funding option.
  3. Enter personal information as it appears in your passport. List education and employment dates accurately, and enter a reliable email address.
  4. Complete the study plan and referee fields. Upload each document to its matching slot; enter a CSC application number only if your route asks for one.
  5. Preview the whole application. Follow the fee instructions, submit the form and check that the system acknowledges submission. Saving a draft does not submit it.
How to fill the CSC application
  1. Open the CSC portal below and register or sign in. Complete your personal details before starting the scholarship application.
  2. Select the application category specified in the current scholarship call. Type A commonly uses a dispatching authority and Type B a university; confirm the exact category and agency number in that route's current notice and check the receiving institution displayed by the system.
  3. Select the degree category, teaching language, major and study period specified by the eligible program. Keep these consistent with your university application.
  4. Upload the requested documents, review all fields and submit. Download the completed application form; sign and upload it to the university or dispatching-authority system when instructed.
  5. Save your application number and a copy of the submitted form. If you withdraw to edit, submit again before the deadline and tell the receiving office if it already began reviewing your application.

University agency number on record: 10385. For Type B, match it to Huaqiao University in CSC. Type A uses your dispatching authority's number instead.

Costs and scholarship coverage

Application fees are separate from tuition and everyday expenses. Use the same degree, program and accommodation type when comparing universities.

Fee source notes: Huaqiao University's official 2026 foreign-student prospectus, posted 6 December 2025, offers both application-review admission and a separate joint Huaqiao/Jinan entrance-exam route. It gives the application-review deadline as 31 May 2026 but publishes no application-submission fee for that route. The university's 2026 joint entrance-exam notice lists CNY 500 per candidate for the exam registration/payment route, which is route-specific and should not be presented as the general application fee. A separate 2026 short-term Chinese-language prospectus lists a CNY 500 registration fee; that is also not an application fee. Keep the general application-fee status and amount unknown.

View sourced admission facts

Scope: Historical 2026 undergraduate/pre-university prospectus and July 2026 arrival/payment notice, with separately scoped 2026 language-study, Silk Road, ICLTS and Chinese Language and Culture Education award rules; no current 2027/28 call is certified.. See the recorded official notices and any source qualifications below.

Tuition per year
In the historical 2026 undergraduate prospectus, Chinese Language bachelor tuition is CNY 15,000/year and Chinese Language (Applied Orientation) CNY 52,500/year; these are degree-programme rows, not a universal non-degree language tariff. Other undergraduate references are CNY 14,000/year regular, CNY 18,000 listed arts, CNY 17,000 Clinical Medicine/Pharmacy and CNY 28,000 English-medium. The separate 2026 language-study guide charges CNY 15,000/year or CNY 7,500/semester. Confirm the chosen programme’s bill; undergraduate tuition uses credits.
Tuition notes
Pre-university programmes are CNY 12,000 per year (Major-Oriented) and CNY 15,000 per year (Chinese Language). Undergraduate tuition is credit-based, so the annual figure is a reference standard. Figures are per academic year in RMB and are quoted from the 2026 prospectus and the 2026 payment notice.
Accommodation
The historical 2026 prospectus lists Quanzhou four/two-person rooms at CNY 1,300/3,800 per year, and Xiamen/Longzhouchi at CNY 2,400/5,600. The July 16, 2026 arrival PDF instead groups Quanzhou and Xiamen at CNY 1,300/3,800 and Longzhouchi at CNY 2,400/5,600. Confirm the assigned campus/room and actual bill. The arrival notice requires payment after reporting and room assignment; facilities described in the prospectus do not guarantee a particular room.
Medical insurance
Included in the roughly CNY 2,000 of collected fees (textbooks, insurance and medical examination) payable after registration; the university says the detailed list is given at enrolment.
Registration fee
The historical 2026 undergraduate/pre-university arrival notice does not list a separate registration charge; approximately CNY 2,000 covers collected textbooks, insurance and medical costs after reporting. Separately, the 2026 non-degree language guide charges CNY 500 at registration, waived for returning students. The 2026 Chinese Language and Culture Education award exempts its scholarship students from 报名费. These are programme/award-specific rules.
Physical examination
Collected with textbooks and insurance in the roughly CNY 2,000 payable after arrival; a physical examination report dated after February 2026 is also a required application document.
Entry requirements
For the historical 2026 undergraduate prospectus, HSK 5 is required for arts and mixed arts/science programmes; HSK 5 for science/engineering and HSK 3 for all-English programmes are stated in principle. Chinese Language bachelor/associate, 华文教育 (Chinese Language and Culture Education) and Chinese-language pre-university require no HSK certificate; this exemption must not be extended to 汉语国际教育. Undergraduate age is in principle no more than 22, with certified/notarized senior-high diploma and yearly transcripts. The special former-Chinese/Chinese-parent nationality rules require four years’ foreign nationality/passport and two years’ actual overseas residence in the relevant four-year period ending April 30, 2026. Type A filing is through home-country authorities; the separate Silk Road Type B call has its own countries, majors, age and language rules. No financial-guarantee amount is printed in this prospectus.

About the university

Founded in 1960, Huaqiao University is a comprehensive university historically dedicated to educating overseas Chinese and international students, with twin campuses in Quanzhou and Xiamen. Its 2026 undergraduate guide reports more than 36,000 full-time undergraduate and postgraduate students, including more than 9,000 students from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and overseas across more than 100 countries and regions (https://zsc.hqu.edu.cn/info/1079/8842.htm, published 6 January 2026). It is a designated Chinese Government Scholarship Preparatory Education Base. Fields listed on this profile include Civil Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Computer Science and Technology. 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.

Huaqiao University is unusual among Chinese universities in that its founding purpose was not domestic. Established in Quanzhou in 1960 and today directly affiliated with the United Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee, with joint support from the Ministry of Education and the Fujian provincial government, HQU exists primarily to educate overseas Chinese and students from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, alongside international students more broadly. Its own figures put more than 36,000 full-time undergraduate and postgraduate students and more than 9,000 students from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and overseas in its 2026 guide. For an applicant, the practical consequence is that the international student infrastructure here is mature rather than improvised: dedicated admissions offices on both campuses, a long-running Chinese language and preparatory pipeline, and a scholarship menu that is noticeably deeper and more granular than at comparably sized Chinese universities.

On academic standing, be realistic. HQU is not a former 985 or 211 institution and is not in the Double First Class list, so it will not carry the brand weight of a national flagship on a CV. What it does have is real research depth in a few areas: the 2026 undergraduate guide reports Engineering, Chemistry, Materials Science and Computer Science in the ESI global top 0.5 percent, with Environment/Ecology and Social Sciences in the top 1 percent, plus a co-established National Key Laboratory and over 100 national and provincial research platforms. Business, economics and international trade are the strongest teaching-side offer for international students, since that is where the English-medium undergraduate track sits. If your target field is one of the ESI-strong engineering or materials areas, HQU is a serious option; if it is outside those, weigh it against Fujian's other options, notably Xiamen University.

The funding picture is where HQU earns its search traffic. It is a confirmed Chinese Government Scholarship host under agency number 10385 on the Type B university-postgraduate route, but the more distinctive opportunity is the layer beneath: the Fujian Provincial Government Scholarship listed at 30,000 RMB in the 2026 undergraduate guide, an Overseas Students Special Scholarship covering half or full tuition, an Outstanding Teachers Scholarship covering four years of tuition, and a set of donor-named awards (Sangzi, Lin Wei, Wang Bincheng, Huang Zhongxian) with tiered amounts, several of them targeted at Southeast Asian or overseas Chinese applicants. Combined with low published tuition, the 2026 undergraduate guide’s 14,000 RMB/year regular and 28,000 RMB/year English-medium tariffs, a partially funded place at HQU can be affordable even when a full CSC award does not come through. The two timelines to hold in your head are different: the graduate CGS route follows its own dated call, while self-funded undergraduate applications ran to 31 May for the 2026 intake. Confirm every figure and date against the current notices on zsc.hqu.edu.cn and grs.hqu.edu.cn, because HQU revises its fee and scholarship tables annually and does not maintain a single consolidated English page covering both tracks.

University profile

Public university under the United Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee, jointly built with the Ministry of Education and the Fujian provincial government, founded in Quanzhou in 1960 with a second campus opened in Xiamen in 2006. It is commonly described as one of China's two universities created principally to educate overseas Chinese students, the other being Jinan University in Guangzhou. It is not a former 985 or 211 university and does not sit in the Double First Class tier, so it is best understood as a well funded, internationally oriented provincial-level comprehensive rather than a national flagship. Its 2026 undergraduate guide reports Engineering, Chemistry, Materials Science and Computer Science in the ESI global top 0.5 percent, with Environment/Ecology and Social Sciences in the ESI top 1 percent, and a co-established National Key Laboratory. Use a named and dated ranking source for any comparison.

English-taught programs

The official 2026 undergraduate guide lists three English-medium programmes on the Quanzhou campus: Economics (finance/CFA), Business Administration (financial management/ACCA), and International Business. That undergraduate guide does not establish graduate teaching language; use the separate current graduate call and programme confirmation.

City snapshot

Climate:
Subtropical monsoon coastal climate on the Taiwan Strait. Mild, damp winters that rarely need heating, long hot and humid summers, heavy rain in spring and early summer, and a genuine typhoon season from roughly July through September that can close campus for a day or two. Quanzhou and Xiamen sit about 90 minutes apart by road and share essentially the same weather.
Living costs:
Moderate by Chinese standards and clearly cheaper than Beijing, Shanghai or Shenzhen, but Xiamen is a national tourist city and its off-campus rents and eating out run noticeably higher than Quanzhou's. Quanzhou is the more affordable of the two for a self-funded student. Published tuition is low relative to national peers: the 2026 guide lists roughly 14,000 RMB per year for regular undergraduate programmes, 17,000 for clinical medicine and pharmacy, 18,000 for arts and design programmes, 15,000 for Chinese language, 12,000 for the pre-university programme, and 28,000 for the English-medium programmes. Confirm current figures and accommodation costs directly, as fee tables are revised each cycle.
Student life:
A genuinely two-campus institution, which matters more here than at most universities. Quanzhou is the original 1960 main campus in Fengze district and hosts the English-medium undergraduate programmes; Xiamen's campus in Jimei district opened in 2006 and is the base for much of the Chinese language and overseas Chinese education work as well as the graduate admissions office. HQU’s 2026 guide reports more than 36,000 full-time undergraduate and postgraduate students, including more than 9,000 students from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and overseas, so the international and returnee community is unusually large and well established rather than a small bolt-on. Southeast Asian student networks, especially Indonesian, Malaysian, Thai and Cambodian, are strong and are reflected in several of the university's named scholarships. Quanzhou is a UNESCO-listed maritime Silk Road city with deep Minnan culture; Xiamen is the more cosmopolitan, beach-adjacent option.

Tips for emailing professors

Specific to Huaqiao University: Route your email to the correct office, because HQU splits admissions three ways and the wrong inbox usually means no reply. Undergraduate and preparatory international admission goes to admission@hqu.edu.cn (Quanzhou office +86-595-22695678, Xiamen office +86-592-6161258). Postgraduate and Chinese Government Scholarship enquiries go to the Graduate School at hqugraduates@163.com (+86-592-6161272). General international office matters go to fao@hqu.edu.cn. For the CGS Type B route, do not lead with a scholarship request: first email a named supervisor in the relevant college with your CV, transcripts, a short research proposal and your intended degree level, ask whether they can support a Chinese Government Scholarship Type B application under agency number 10385, and state plainly whether the programme is taught in English or Chinese and what HSK level you hold. Then copy the Graduate School once you have supervisor interest. Write in clear, short English, attach PDFs rather than links, and expect slower replies during the Chinese New Year window, which unfortunately overlaps the February CGS registration period.
  • Check the notice for your exact degree, scholarship and intake before naming a CSC route.
  • The historical Silk Road bachelor route requires both Huaqiao’s portal and CSC Type B, agency 10385; Type A applicants use their home-country authority.
  • Send a programme-specific question to the admissions contact in the relevant notice when eligibility, fees or conflicting housing rates need confirmation.

Common questions

Is Huaqiao University a Chinese Government Scholarship host, and what is its agency number?

Yes. HQU is a CSC-designated host institution and its published agency number is 10385, confirmed on the university's own Graduate School CGS notice, which also identifies the route as Type B, the university-postgraduate-programme category. That means you apply to HQU first, obtain a pre-admission or supervisor acceptance, and then complete the CGSIS online application quoting 10385 as the 受理机构编号. Type A applicants routed through a Chinese embassy quote their embassy's agency number instead and name HQU as a preference. Because HQU had not published a new CGS notice for the latest cycle when this page was compiled, re-confirm 10385 on the current-year notice before you submit.

What scholarships does Huaqiao University offer beyond the CSC, and how generous are they?

This is HQU's real strength and the reason it is worth applying to even without a CSC award. The official 2026 guide lists national awards (Chinese Government Scholarship, the International Chinese Teachers Scholarship, the Education of Chinese Language Scholarship, and an Overseas Students Special Scholarship covering half or all tuition), the Fujian Provincial Government Scholarship for International Students at 30,000 RMB, and a deep bench of university-funded and donor-funded awards. The named HQU awards include the Outstanding Teachers Scholarship covering four years of tuition, the Sangzi Scholarship at HK$10,000 to HK$30,000 aimed at Southeast Asian students, the Lin Wei scholarship for outstanding Cambodian students at 6,000 or 3,000 RMB per year, and the Wang Bincheng and Huang Zhongxian scholarships for overseas Chinese and international students in tiers running roughly from 1,000 to 5,000 RMB per year. Amounts and eligibility change each cycle and several awards are restricted by nationality or by overseas Chinese status, so read the current guide rather than relying on a summary.

Which campus will I actually study on, Quanzhou or Xiamen?

It depends on your programme, and you should settle this before you accept an offer. Quanzhou is the original main campus and is where the three English-medium undergraduate programmes in Economics, Business Administration and International Business are delivered, per the 2026 guide. The Xiamen campus in Jimei district opened in 2006 and carries much of the Chinese language and overseas Chinese education work, and the Graduate School admissions contact number is a Xiamen line. Postgraduate placement varies by college. Ask your admitting college or supervisor to state the campus in writing, since the two cities differ meaningfully in living costs, and commuting between them daily is not realistic.

Can I get into an English-taught master's or PhD at Huaqiao University without Chinese?

The 2026 undergraduate guide lists three English-medium programmes on the Quanzhou campus. It does not establish the teaching language or HSK exemptions for a master’s or PhD. Request the separate current graduate catalogue and written confirmation of coursework, thesis and defence language.

Does Huaqiao University accept CSC Type B applications?

Huaqiao 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 Huaqiao 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 Huaqiao 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 Huaqiao University?

The latest official information checked October 5, 2026 says: The historical 2026 foreign-student undergraduate/pre-university prospectus, published December 6, 2025, accepted applications from publication through May 31, 2026. The separate 2026 language-study guide set February 1–May 31, 2026 for September entry. The 2026 Silk Road bachelor call, published May 1, required both university and CSC Type B, agency 10385, by May 15. The March 10, 2026 ICLTS notice opened March 1 and set May 15 as the student cutoff for September 2026; May 25 was the reviewer cutoff. The April 24 Chinese Language and Culture Education award set May 31, 2026. These application windows have passed. The July 16, 2026 arrival/payment notice set September 12, 2026 for reporting and tuition prepayment, not new applications. A previously recorded June 1, 2025 English deadline belongs to an older cycle and was not freshly reconfirmed in this review. Joint-exam March/May dates are recurring rules, not a dated 2027 scholarship window. The reviewed sources do not establish current 2027/28 admission or Fujian provincial scholarship dates. Check the current notice for your degree, route, and intake before applying.

What can I study at Huaqiao University on a CSC scholarship?

Fields listed for Huaqiao University in Quanzhou, Fujian include Civil Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Computer Science and Technology. 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 Huaqiao University charge an application fee?

Huaqiao University's official 2026 foreign-student prospectus, posted 6 December 2025, offers both application-review admission and a separate joint Huaqiao/Jinan entrance-exam route. It gives the application-review deadline as 31 May 2026 but publishes no application-submission fee for that route. The university's 2026 joint entrance-exam notice lists CNY 500 per candidate for the exam registration/payment route, which is route-specific and should not be presented as the general application fee. A separate 2026 short-term Chinese-language prospectus lists a CNY 500 registration fee; that is also not an application fee. Keep the general application-fee status and amount unknown.
