2027 intake and the closed 2026/2027 round, read from the official College of International Education notices on October 7, 2026. The newest dated admission notice on the site is the 2027 Nanjing Forestry University Chinese Language Training Program for International Students, updated 8 September 2026, which gives the Application Period as October 1-December 31 (Spring) and March 1-May 31 (Fall): for the 2027 intake the Spring window opens 1 October 2026 and closes 31 December 2026, and the Fall window opens 1 March 2027 and closes 31 May 2027 — the spring opening date has now passed as of 2 October 2026. That same notice states the Application Fee 400 RMB and Tuition 6500 RMB/semester, so the fee is an application fee and not tuition. Every 2026/2027 CSC and university-scholarship round is CLOSED: the 2026/2027 NJFU CSC Silk Road Program notice (Update Time 2026-04-30) states under VIII. Application Deadline 'May 20, 2026'; the 2026-2027 NJFU APFNet Scholarship Program round closed with applications due before May 31, 2026 and its admission list was published 17 September 2026; and the 2026/2027 CSC High-Level Postgraduate Program (中国政府奖学金“高水平研究生”项目) round closed earlier still — its admission list was published 6 May 2026 and the university ran its entrance assessments for that round on 9-15 March 2026 per the notice of 4 March 2026. NJFU publishes no Jiangsu provincial or Nanjing municipal government scholarship deadline on its own site. No 2028 intake notice, and no 2027/2028 CSC notice, had been published as of October 7, 2026. The published spring 2027 Chinese-language window is 1 October–31 December 2026; the fall 2027 language window is 1 March–31 May 2027. These are non-degree language-training dates, not full-degree/CSC dates. Portal acceptance was not newly checked during reconciliation.
For Nanjing Forestry 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 October 9, 2026.
Fee note: The College of International Education's live Fees & Payment page states verbatim 'I Application fee: 400 CNY per person', with the notes that the applicant pays it after receiving a payment notice from the online application system, that 'Application fee is non-refundable', and that the bank receipt must be uploaded to the application system. The same page gives the domestic route (CNY 400 to the NJFU account at China Construction Bank Nanjing Chengdong Sub-Branch, account 32001597336050000659) and the overseas route (USD 60 via ICBC Nanjing Branch, account 4301012509001032644), then lists 'II Tuition' separately at 16500 CNY per academic year for bachelor's, 27000 for master's, 31000 for PhD and 6500 CNY per academic semester for Chinese-language programmes — confirming that 400 is the application fee and not a tuition figure. The figure is independently restated in the 2026/2027 CSC Silk Road notice of 30 April 2026 ('Pay the application fee: CNY 400 ... The application fee is NON-REFUNDABLE once remitted') and in the 2027 Chinese Language Training Program notice of 8 September 2026, which lists 'Application Fee 400 RMB' against a separate 'Tuition 6500 RMB/semester'.

Nanjing Forestry University grew out of the forestry departments of Central University and the University of Nanking and entered China's Double First-Class project in 2017. In the national discipline evaluation its Forestry Engineering, Forestry, and Landscape Architecture were all rated A class, first among China's forestry universities, and around 600 international students study or exchange there each year. Fields listed on this profile include Forestry, Forestry Engineering, Landscape Architecture, Wood 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.
Nanjing Forestry University grew from the forestry departments of Central University and the University of Nanking. It was selected for the national Double First-Class project in 2017 and offers forestry, forestry engineering and landscape architecture among its fields.
That specialisation is the whole point of NJFU. If your field touches forests, wood, or designed landscapes: silviculture and forest ecology, forestry engineering and biomass materials, wood science and technology, landscape architecture, or ecology more broadly: few universities anywhere offer a deeper concentration of labs, journals, and supervisors. Roughly 600 international students study or exchange at NJFU each year, and forestry-specific funding such as the APFNet Scholarship for master's programs sits alongside the CSC, Jasmine Jiangsu, and Nanjing municipal scholarships.
NJFU’s standing fee page lists a non-refundable CNY 400 application fee, or USD 60 from abroad, paid after the system issues a payment notice. The 2026/2027 Silk Road call closed 20 May 2026. Its 2027 non-degree spring language window is 1 October–31 December 2026; those language dates do not establish a degree or CSC application window.
The campus itself is fittingly green, set in northeastern Nanjing near Purple Mountain, and the city wraps it in New Tier 1 affordability: living costs are well below the coastal megacities and the metro puts the whole historic capital within reach. Summers are long and hot, winters damp and cold. Apply through Type B with school code 10298, and confirm each cycle's exact dates on the College of International Education's notices.

NJFU is a Double First-Class specialist worth researching if your background fits forestry, ecology, wood science, or landscape architecture. It does not publish comparable applicant totals proving better odds than comprehensive universities.
Follow the named NJFU scholarship and programme notice for the required supervisor document. A laboratory-specific enquiry can clarify research fit, but an optional letter has no verified selection weight.
Nanjing Forestry 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.
A full Chinese Government Scholarship normally covers tuition, accommodation or a housing subsidy, medical insurance, and a monthly stipend. That does not prove Nanjing Forestry 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.
