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. Nanjing Forestry University has reported strengths in Forestry, Forestry Engineering, Landscape Architecture, Wood Science and Technology. Its 2027-2028 CSC route is not yet confirmed, so use this guide to check the current university notice, eligible programs, funding category, deadline, and required application systems before you prepare documents or pay a fee.
Nanjing Forestry University (NJFU) grew out of the forestry departments of two storied institutions, Central University and the University of Nanking, and has become the strongest forestry-focused university in China. Selected for the national Double First-Class project in 2017, it achieved something no other Chinese forestry university has: A-class ratings in Forestry Engineering, Forestry, and Landscape Architecture all at once in the national discipline evaluation.
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.
Practically, NJFU rewards early, specific contact. Its own application guidance tells applicants to reference a particular lab and attach a concise CV and study statement, and the CSC High-Level Postgraduate Program deadline lands in mid February, earlier than many applicants expect. One honest caveat: unlike many provincial universities, NJFU charges a non-refundable application fee of CNY 400 (USD 60 from abroad) that CSC applicants also pay, so factor it into your application budget.
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.

Nanjing Forestry University CSC scholarship FAQ
What are my CSC chances at Nanjing Forestry University?
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.
Should I contact a supervisor before applying?
NJFU's own guidance encourages referencing a specific lab or research group, and the current CSC High-Level Postgraduate Program notice may request or value professor support. Email early and follow the exact document requirements rather than treating a letter as a quantified selection boost.
Does NJFU charge an application fee?
Yes. NJFU charges a non-refundable application fee of CNY 400 (or USD 60 from abroad), and CSC applicants are not exempt in recent cycles. Budget for it and confirm the amount in the current admission guide.
