Application dates, fees and sources
Hunan Normal University (湖南师范大学) published a full set of dated 2026-2027 intake windows through its Office of International Exchange and Cooperation (oiec.hunnu.edu.cn). Self-funded applicants: the 2026 International Student Admission Guide states that degree programs admit in the autumn semester only (学历生仅秋季学期招生) while non-degree visiting students may start in either the spring or autumn semester, and that applications are made year-round through the university system at hunnu.at0086.cn/student; the guide does not name a self-funded closing date, so self-funded degree entry for autumn 2027 has no published cut-off. The Chinese Government Scholarship 'High-level Graduate' Program 2026-2027 (Type B, agency number 10542) required all materials except the pre-admission or tutor acceptance letter to be submitted by 28 February 2026 in both the CSC system and the university system — that window has closed. The CSC Silk Road Program 2026-2027 closed on 22 May 2026 for September 2026 entry. The university's own 'First-Class Discipline' International Student Scholarship (一流学科国际学生奖学金) 2026-2027 closed on 31 May 2026 for September 2026 entry. The Hunan Provincial Belt and Road language scholarship (湖南省'一带一路'沿线国家语言生奖学金) 2026 closed on 8 June 2026. The International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship 2026-2027 sets two deadlines: 15 May 2026 for programs commencing September 2026 (closed) and 31 October 2026 for programs commencing March 2027, which is the only dated window still open at the retrieval date. No 2027-2028 CSC, Silk Road, First-Class Discipline or self-funded notice had been posted by the university as at 30 September 2026, so every 2026 window above other than the 31 October 2026 round applies to an intake that has closed.
For Hunan 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.

Is the CSC scholarship at Hunan 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 Hunan 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 Hunan Normal University?
The latest official information checked September 30, 2026 says: Hunan Normal University (湖南师范大学) published a full set of dated 2026-2027 intake windows through its Office of International Exchange and Cooperation (oiec.hunnu.edu.cn).

What can I study at Hunan Normal University on a CSC scholarship?
Fields listed for Hunan Normal University in Changsha, Hunan include College of Foreign Studies, College of Medicine, College of Literature, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. 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 Hunan Normal University charge an application fee?
No application fee is published for Hunan Normal University. The 2026 International Student Admission Guide's tuition and related-fee table (学费及相关费用标准, an image table in the guide PDF, read here via pdftoppm rasterisation and tesseract OCR) lists only physical examination 530 CNY/person, textbook 500 CNY/academic year, insurance 400 CNY/semester or 800 CNY/academic year, accommodation 20 CNY/person/day in a double room or 10 CNY/person/day in a quad room, water and electricity at 0.61 CNY/kWh and 2.88 CNY/ton, and living expenses of about 2,000 CNY/month. The table carries the note 学费按学校实时费用标准收取 (tuition is charged at the school's real-time standard) and contains no application or registration line. The Belt and Road provincial scholarship notice separately shows that a 注册费 (registration fee) exists as a charge, but it is listed only as something the scholarship covers and no figure is published. Because no official page states an application fee — and none states that applying is free — the status is recorded as unknown.
Figures based on China Scholarship Council program information. Always verify current details on campuschina.org and your target university's admissions page.
