Northeastern University published dated windows for the 2026 intake in its 2026 international student admission guides, issued by the School of International Education on December 19, 2025. Scholarship applicants, covering both the Chinese Government Scholarship and the Liaoning Provincial Government Scholarship, applied from December 1, 2025 to February 28, 2026, with the university reviewing from January to March 2026. Self-funded master's and doctoral applicants applied from December 1, 2025 to May 30, 2026, and self-funded bachelor's applicants from December 30, 2025 to May 30, 2026. Chinese Language Program applicants had a deadline of December 30, 2025 for the March 2026 spring semester and June 30, 2026 for the September 2026 autumn semester, with a further window closing December 30, 2026 for the March 2027 spring semester. NEU sets no deadline for Chinese Government Scholarship Type A at bachelor's level, directing applicants to consult the Chinese embassy or consulate in their country for that date. The 2026 degree scholarship and self-funded windows have closed; no separate 2027 degree-intake guide was confirmed in the September 17, 2026 record. The Chinese non-degree brochure available through NEU’s designated application portal explicitly names March 2027 entry with a December 30, 2026 deadline and no stated opening date. Its English version labels that same deadline as fall 2027; applicants should confirm the intended intake with NEU.
For Northeastern 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 recorded 2026 self-funded master’s guide lists CNY 500, with payment instructions sent after admission. This is not an upfront submission charge. A separately recorded scholarship FAQ says no application fee for scholarship applicants; preserve that FAQ’s source and cycle rather than assuming a universal 2027 waiver. The specific 2026 CSC master’s guide does not state a fee.
