Nanjing University's Institute for International Students republished its self-funded application guides on 14 and 16 September 2026, and they were reopened on 1 October 2026. They publish the next intake's application rule: 1 March to 15 May for undergraduate applicants and 1 March to 20 May for master's and doctoral applicants, for autumn 2027 entry, with the body text referring explicitly to 2027 — a passport valid no earlier than 1 March 2028, a nationality-residence window running to 30 April 2027, and a CSCA score submission deadline of 15 May. The window has not opened and no page states that applications are open, so the dates are recorded as the published rule rather than as an active window. The guides cover self-funded study only and direct scholarship applicants to the separate scholarship pages. The published application fee is CNY 500 for non-degree, undergraduate and short-term applicants and CNY 600 for advanced, graduate and visiting scholars, payable once and non-refundable. Tuition is published per academic year, from CNY 21,000 for undergraduate humanities to CNY 54,000 for doctoral medicine, and English-taught or featured programme tuition is not published centrally. Accommodation is CNY 3,000 per semester per bed at Xianlin and CNY 52 per day per bed for a double room or CNY 67 per day for a single room at Gulou, with a CNY 600 deposit. Medical insurance is CNY 800 per person per year or CNY 400 per half year and is required for registration. From the 2026/2027 academic year all international undergraduate applicants must submit a CSCA score report. Nanjing University's CSC institution code for Type B is 10284 and the Type A Excellence Programme code is 1563, both printed on the university's own notices. The university's 2027 Chinese Government Scholarship (Type B) High-Level Postgraduate Program notice was available when reopened on 2 October 2026. It sets the university-portal application window at 1 November 2026 to 20 January 2027. Preliminary feedback is due within three working days; department review is planned for late February, with pre-admission results expected in early March. Applicants with a pre-admission notice must submit the separate CSC Type B application by 17 March 2027 using agency number 10284. The scholarship is for full-time master's and doctoral study beginning in September 2027. Separately, the 2026 International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship rules include March 2027 five-month semester study. Applications run March 1–October 31, 2026 in both chinese.cn and NJU’s international-student system; pay CNY 500 after initial review. HSK 3 of at least 180 and HSKK results are required. This non-degree award has its own procedure.
For Nanjing 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 standing official fee page states a one-time, non-refundable application fee of CNY 500 for undergraduate, non-degree and short-term applicants, and CNY 600 for graduate, advanced and visiting scholars. Advanced applicants are non-degree students holding a master’s degree or above. A scholarship-route exemption or payment rule was not established by this tariff.

Separate 2026 ICLTS instructions explicitly require payment after initial review: CNY 500 for undergraduate, academic-year and semester study, and CNY 600 for the master’s award.
