Shandong University (山东大学) publishes a single dated 申请时间 block inside its 山东大学2026年国际学生（硕士）招生简章, issued 14 November 2025 by the International Affairs Office at istudy.sdu.edu.cn, and every window in it is scoped to the 2026/2027 intake: the self-funded programmes (自费项目) ran 即日起 to 31 May 2026; Chinese Government Scholarship Type B (中国政府奖学金 B类) closed on 6 February 2026; the International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship (国际中文教师奖学金) closed on 15 May 2026; the International Confucian Association Scholars Programme master's scholarship (国际儒联学者计划硕士项目奖学金) closed on 1 April 2026; the Jinan Sister-City Scholarship (济南市友城奖学金) closed on 1 March 2026; and the Shandong University Outstanding International Student Scholarship (山东大学优秀国际学生奖学金) closed on 1 April 2026. Chinese Government Scholarship Type A has no university date because the brochure directs applicants to the dispatching authority in their own country (具体咨询所在国有关派遣部门). The master’s routes and cutoffs recorded in this prospectus have closed for the 2026/2027 intake and no 2027/2028 notice was published as of 17 September 2026. The brochure itself was published as page images, so this window was read by OCR at 200 dpi; the related FAQ states self-funded admission results are released by 30 June and CSC and university-scholarship results by 1 September. Separately, the official 2026 International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship image brochure read on 3 October 2026 states in its application-procedure block that online registration opens 1 March 2026 and applicants for March 2027 commencement must complete submission before 31 October 2026. The programme table instead prints March 2026 in its one-semester start row; confirm the intended intake year with SDU before submission. This semester award is distinct from the closed September 2026 master’s award cutoff. Scholarship holders use chinese.cn first, then register in SDU’s system when the university emails them after the award. The brochure states no application-fee amount or payment terms.
For Shandong 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 山东大学2026年国际学生（硕士）招生简章 states a 报名费 (application fee) of 400元人民币/人 — "报名费: 400元人民币/人（收到预录取邮件后缴纳，报名费一经支付，不予退还）", i.e. CN¥400 per person, payable after the pre-admission email is received, and non-refundable once paid. The same fee table separately lists 学费标准 (tuition) by discipline, 医疗保险费 of 800元人民币/人/年 and 住宿费 of 23–45元人民币/人/天. The brochure is published as page images with no extractable text, so the CN¥400 figure was read by OCR of the tuition-and-fees page at 200 dpi.

Read the university's procedureCheck Shandong University's current prospectus for your degree, teaching language, eligibility and deadline. Arrange supervisor contact or pre-admission first when the program requires it.
Read official admission instructionsUse the checklist below, then compare it with your program's required documents. Prepare any signed forms, translations and referee submissions before starting the final application.
If it asks for the CSC form in the university system, finish CSC first and upload that form. If it asks for university admission or recommendation first, complete that stage before CSC. Where both systems are required, submit to both; use a CSC-only process only when the official notice explicitly specifies it.
Read official admission instructionsUse the university and CSC instructions below in the order specified by your program. Keep names, degree, major and teaching language consistent across the forms. Check submission status in every required system.
Check your portal and email for missing-document requests, interviews and results. If a form is returned, correct it and resubmit. Keep admission and scholarship decisions separate; follow the final offer for acceptance, registration and original-document checks.

Use the document list for your exact program. Prepare these common items, then add any scholarship-specific forms:
Scan each complete document clearly. Use the file type and size limit shown beside its upload field; combine multi-page documents only where the system permits. Open every uploaded file to check legibility, page order, signatures and stamps. Keep a copy of everything you submit.
Application templatesFollow the submission method in your programme's notice. The steps below apply when it requires an online form; email and paper applications follow their separate source-linked instructions above.
University agency number on record: 10422. For Type B, match it to Shandong University in CSC. Type A uses your dispatching authority's number instead.
