Shanghai University of Sport (上海体育大学) publishes dated admission guides through the Office of International Exchange (国际交流处 / 国际学生管理办公室, wsc.sus.edu.cn), all read on 17 September 2026. The previously recorded 2025 windows below are historical and closed. Newer 2026 guides have been recovered from the university admission site: the High-Level Graduate route accepted university applications January 1–February 28, 2026, ending at 23:59 Beijing time, followed by document review/interview by March 15 and CSC submission by selected candidates by March 20. The English master's guide separately closed the President's scholarship route April 30 and self-funded admission May 31, 2026. These 2026 rounds are also closed; no 2027 window is established by these guides. Self-funded bachelor's programmes (2025上海体育大学国际学生本科专业招生简章): applications ran 1 January 2025 to 30 May 2025, with tuition stated as CNY 22,000-24,000 per year and the notice adding that scholarship applicants must observe the separate scholarship deadlines. Self-funded master's and doctoral programmes (2025年上海体育大学国际硕博士研究生招生简章): applications ran 1 January 2025 to 30 May 2025 (the guide prints the year as 2024 in one place, an evident typographical error for 2025), and that guide names three separate closing dates. Chinese Government Scholarship High-Level Graduate Program (中国政府奖学金-"高水平研究生"项目, Type B): 1 January 2025 to 28 February 2025, 23:59 Beijing time, for master's and doctoral applicants only, entry September 2025; the university completed material review, online professional interview and scholarship assessment by 15 March 2025 and notified nominated candidates by email, who then had to complete the CSC online form by 20 March 2025 under Type B. Shanghai Municipal Government Scholarship for International Students (上海市外国留学生政府奖学金): 1 January 2025 to 30 April 2025. SUS President's Scholarship for International Students (国际学生校长奖学金): 1 January 2025 to 30 April 2025. The 2025 windows are retained as historical evidence. The recovered 2026 guides above supersede the earlier statement that no newer guide was available.
For Shanghai University of Sport, 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: Shanghai University of Sport charges an application fee (报名费) of USD 80 or CNY 500, stated in every one of its published 2025 international admission guides. The Chinese Government Scholarship Type B guide (wsc.sus.edu.cn/info/1138/2905.htm) says verbatim: 「同时支付报名费80美元或500元人民币（报名费一经支付，不予退还）」 — applicants must pay the fee when submitting the online application, and it is non-refundable. The master's and doctoral guide (info/1138/2909.htm) repeats it under 第二步：支付报名费 as 「80美元或500元人民币（报名费一经支付，不予退还）」, and the Shanghai Municipal Government Scholarship guide (info/1138/2906.htm) and the President's Scholarship guide (info/1138/2907.htm) both state the same figure and add 「缴纳报名费后的申请才视为有效申请」 — an application counts as valid only after the fee is paid. Payment is by online transfer to the university's Agricultural Bank of China Shanghai branch account and must carry the applicant's passport name and the words 报名费. The CNY 500 figure is recorded here; the USD 80 alternative is the same fee quoted in foreign currency. This is the application fee and not tuition: the same office publishes undergraduate tuition separately at CNY 22,000-24,000 per year, recorded under tuition.
