Application dates, fees and sources
The 2026 Silk Road CSC call ran May 1–18, 2026 and is closed. It offered master’s Chinese Language and Literature or Teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages to citizens of Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand or Turkmenistan.

For Nanchang 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: The 2026 International Students Admissions Brochure of Nanchang University states an application fee (申请费 / Application fee) of ¥400 under section 07 相关费用 (Fees). The brochure does not state whether the fee is refundable — no refund language appears anywhere in that section, so refundability is unverified. Note that the university's separate web page 相关费用 (iec.ncu.edu.cn/lxnd/xgfy.htm) publishes the same tuition and accommodation tables but does not repeat the ¥400 application fee line, so the brochure is the source for the fee.
