Published dates and unconfirmed windows
Application timing and source scope
Shanghai Institute of Technology's published international student guide is the 2026 edition, dated 18 March 2026 on the university's International Cooperation Office site. It gives one application deadline, "Academic Programs: 30 July", and requires a passport valid after 30 December 2026, so that deadline belongs to the 2026 intake and has passed. The guide states no opening date, and the university's admissions list carried no 2027 guide and no 2027 deadline as at 6 October 2026, so the next intake window is not yet published. Applications go through the university's own portal at https://sit.at0086.cn/student, and the guide states zero tolerance for counterfeit documents. The Shanghai Government Scholarship named on this profile is a separate route whose dates are set by the university's own scholarship notice, not by this admission deadline.
Guide scope reviewed 3 October 2026. Dates apply only to the intake and route named in each notice.

University background, academic strengths and sources
Shanghai Institute of Technology (上海应用技术大学), known as SIT, is a full-time public applied-science university with two campuses in Shanghai: Xuhui in the city centre and Fengxian in the Fengxian Bay area. Its own 2026 international student guide describes it as one of China's top 100 demonstration universities of applied sciences, distinguished by its Perfume and Aroma Technology and Engineering programme, a National First-Class Undergraduate Programme. The same guide lists 44 undergraduate programmes, 26 thesis-based master's programmes and 22 professional master's areas, with a doctorate in Chemical Engineering and Technology authorised from 2021. SIT appears as entry 23 on the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission's published host list for the Shanghai Government Scholarship. It is not on the CSC's published 2026 Chinese University List, and no CSC host route is recorded for it here. Fields listed on this profile include School of Art and Design, School of Economics and Management, Faculty of Flavor Fragrance and Cosmetics, School of Chemical and Environmental Engineering. This page focuses on non-CSC scholarship routes, costs and application details. Refer to its current admissions notice for scholarship participation.
