Founded in 1902 (traced to Sanjiang Normal School, sharing roots with Nanjing University and Southeast University), it was formed in its current shape via a 2001 merger. Co-established by Jiangsu Province, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, it has 16 ESI top-1%-globally disciplines and pioneered China's first PhD and postdoctoral training in agricultural machinery. With recognised strengths in School of Agricultural Engineering, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, School of Materials Science and Engineering, School of Automotive and Traffic Engineering, Jiangsu University is a strong destination for international students seeking the fully funded Chinese Government Scholarship for the 2027-2028 academic year. This guide walks you through exactly how to apply for the CSC scholarship at Jiangsu University, from choosing your program to submitting your documents online.
Jiangsu University (UJS) in Zhenjiang is a comprehensive university with roots going back over a century, formed in its modern shape in 2001 through the merger of engineering, medical, and teacher training institutions. It is not a Project 985 or 211 university, yet it punches above that status in engineering and hosts one of China's largest international student cohorts relative to its size. A CSC offer here means full funding at a campus genuinely built around international education.
The university's historic strength is agricultural engineering and farm machinery, a legacy of its founding mission to mechanize Chinese agriculture, alongside food science, materials science, mechanical engineering with a noted fluid machinery center, and clinical medicine. For international students the English-taught catalog is unusually broad, covering most master's and doctoral fields plus a long-running English-medium MBBS, so applicants without Mandarin can complete full degrees while picking up survival Chinese on the side.
Jiangsu University does not publish matched applicant and award totals for CSC Type B. Scholarship applicants are exempt from the application fee, and the application window is unusually early, recently November 1 to 30 for the following September. Obtain the required supervisor invitation on official letterhead with signature and contact details, submit under agency number 10299, and complete the university portal in parallel.
Zhenjiang is a compact, affordable city on the Yangtze between Nanjing and Shanghai, with hot, humid summers and damp winters. Expect roughly CNY 1,200-2,000 per month in living costs once accommodation is covered, noticeably less than Beijing or Shanghai. High-speed rail reaches Nanjing in about twenty minutes, making weekend travel easy. Deadlines here shift and arrive early, so verify the current notice on oec.ujs.edu.cn or admission.ujs.edu.cn before planning your cycle.

Official websiteJiangsu University CSC scholarship FAQ
Does Jiangsu University charge an application fee for CSC applicants?
No. Jiangsu University's own CSC guidance states that scholarship applicants do not need to pay the application fee, and the university has separately announced fee exemptions for government scholarship beneficiaries. This makes it one of the cheaper applications to file, which is part of why it attracts such heavy CSC interest every cycle.
Why is Jiangsu University so popular with CSC applicants?
It combines a large CSC and university scholarship pipeline, no application fee, extensive English-taught programs, and one of China's biggest international student communities relative to its size. Living costs in Zhenjiang are low, and the Overseas Education College is experienced with applicants from developing countries. The trade-off is that popularity keeps competition for funded seats real despite the university's non-985 status.
How early is the CSC deadline at Jiangsu University?
Much earlier than most Chinese universities. The recent Type B window ran from November 1 to November 30 for the following September intake, nearly a year ahead of enrollment. If you wait for the typical January to March CSC season, you may find Jiangsu University already closed, so prepare documents by October and apply in November.
What should my supervisor invitation letter from Jiangsu University look like?
The university's CSC document list asks for a pre-admission letter or an invitation letter from a prospective supervisor, printed on the university's special-purpose letterhead and carrying the supervisor's signature and contact information. A plain email screenshot is weaker. Request the formatted letter well before the November window so there is time for corrections.
Does Jiangsu University accept CSC Type B applications?
Jiangsu University appears in our directory from prior CSC host or program evidence, but we have not yet confirmed its 2027-2028 Type B participation. Check the university's current international-admissions notice and confirm the channel and Agency Number before applying.
Is the CSC scholarship at Jiangsu 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 Jiangsu 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 Jiangsu University?
Deadlines are set by each university and typically fall between December and April, with many closing by March. Check the official Jiangsu University admissions page for the exact 2027-2028 deadline as early as possible.
What can I study at Jiangsu University on a CSC scholarship?
Jiangsu University in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu has strengths in School of Agricultural Engineering, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, School of Materials Science and Engineering, School of Automotive and Traffic 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.
