Application dates, fees and sources
Qinghai University (青海大学) runs its Chinese Government Scholarship 'High-Level Graduate' programme (中国政府奖学金'高水平研究生'项目) for master's and doctoral applicants, described in an official notice from the university's Foreign Affairs Office (外事办) posted 10 April 2026 and applicable to the 2026 autumn intake (秋季学期入学). That notice sets out a staged procedure rather than a single published calendar date: applicants submit through the Study in China information system at campuschina.org, the receiving supervisor and degree programme conduct an academic review and an online written or interview assessment, the completed and stamped supervisor acceptance form is forwarded to the Foreign Affairs Office, and that office then screens language level, health and criminal-record status before recommending candidates to the China Scholarship Council, whose subject-expert review decides admission. The notice states that students approved by the CSC review are enrolled for the 2026 autumn semester. The university's older CSC programme guide for the 2017/2018 academic year does publish an explicit application period of 1 March to 15 April and directs applicants to the Qinghai University Foreign Affairs Office, but that window is scoped to 2017/2018 and is not current. The 2026 CSC application document checklist published by the university on 23 April 2026 is the CSC national checklist and specifies that the admission date must be no earlier than September 2026 and that passports must be valid beyond September 2026, confirming the 2026 intake, but it likewise publishes no Qinghai-University-specific closing date. As of 2 October 2026 no dated 2027 intake notice has been published on the Foreign Affairs Office site; the most recent admissions notices are those of April 2026, and the 2026 autumn intake has already begun. The 2026 High-Level Graduate notice does not state a university-specific opening or closing date; do not use the 1 March–15 April dates from the 2017/18 guide for a current cycle.
For Qinghai 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.

- Application route
- For the 2026 High-Level Graduate Type B call, use the CSC Study in China system and the university’s current notice. The international admissions page is informational, not a submission portal.

Official websiteQinghai University CSC scholarship FAQ
Does Qinghai University accept CSC Type B applications?
Qinghai 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.
Is the CSC scholarship at Qinghai University fully funded?
A full Chinese Government Scholarship normally covers tuition, accommodation or a housing subsidy, medical insurance, and a monthly stipend. That does not prove Qinghai 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.
What is the application deadline for Qinghai University?
The latest official information checked October 2, 2026 says: Qinghai University (青海大学) runs its Chinese Government Scholarship 'High-Level Graduate' programme (中国政府奖学金'高水平研究生'项目) for master's and doctoral applicants, described in an official notice from the university's Foreign Affairs Office (外事办) posted 10 April 2026 and applicable to the 2026 autumn intake (秋季学期入学). That notice sets out a staged procedure rather than a single published calendar date: applicants submit through the Study in China information system at campuschina.org, the receiving supervisor and degree programme conduct an academic review and an online written or interview assessment, the completed and stamped supervisor acceptance form is forwarded to the Foreign Affairs Office, and that office then screens language level, health and criminal-record status before recommending candidates to the China Scholarship Council, whose subject-expert review decides admission. The notice states that students approved by the CSC review are enrolled for the 2026 autumn semester. The university's older CSC programme guide for the 2017/2018 academic year does publish an explicit application period of 1 March to 15 April and directs applicants to the Qinghai University Foreign Affairs Office, but that window is scoped to 2017/2018 and is not current. The 2026 CSC application document checklist published by the university on 23 April 2026 is the CSC national checklist and specifies that the admission date must be no earlier than September 2026 and that passports must be valid beyond September 2026, confirming the 2026 intake, but it likewise publishes no Qinghai-University-specific closing date. As of 2 October 2026 no dated 2027 intake notice has been published on the Foreign Affairs Office site; the most recent admissions notices are those of April 2026, and the 2026 autumn intake has already begun. The 2026 High-Level Graduate notice does not state a university-specific opening or closing date; do not use the 1 March–15 April dates from the 2017/18 guide for a current cycle. Check the current notice for your degree, route, and intake before applying.
What can I study at Qinghai University on a CSC scholarship?
Fields listed for Qinghai University in Xining, Qinghai include College of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, College of Medicine (Tibetan Medicine), College of Water Conservancy and Electric Power Engineering, College of Eco-Environmental Engineering. If its current CSC notice confirms your degree level and subject, use the official program catalogue to check the teaching language and identify a suitable supervisor.
Does Qinghai University charge an application fee?
No application or registration fee is published in any Qinghai University international admissions or Chinese Government Scholarship notice read for this profile. The university's CSC 'High-Level Graduate' programme notice of 10 April 2026 states only that the programme is a Chinese Government Scholarship award and quotes no applicant charge; the university's 2026 CSC application document checklist is the CSC national checklist (a scanned China Scholarship Council document) and lists only the required application materials. The 2017/2018 CSC programme guide describes the award as a full scholarship covering tuition, accommodation, a living allowance and comprehensive medical insurance, but states no application fee. Because no official page states a fee, the application fee is recorded as unknown rather than free; the absence of a stated fee is not evidence that none is charged.
