Application templatesHow to fill the university application
Follow 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.

- Complete the study plan and referee fields. Upload each document to its matching slot; enter a CSC application number only if your route asks for one.

How to fill the CSC application
- Open the CSC portal below and register or sign in. Complete your personal details before starting the scholarship application.
- Select the application category specified in the current scholarship call. Type A commonly uses a dispatching authority and Type B a university; confirm the exact category and agency number in that route's current notice and check the receiving institution displayed by the system.

Open CSC application systemCSC scholarship application systemCosts and scholarship coverage
Application fees are separate from tuition and everyday expenses. Use the same degree, program and accommodation type when comparing universities.
Fee source notes: No study application fee is published for Shanxi University of Chinese Medicine. The 2026 international student admissions brochure (both the Chinese 招生简章 and the English Admissions Brochure, published 26 February 2026) sets out a complete 费用/Fees list for each level — tuition, accommodation, insurance, physical examination and textbooks — and states that the only remaining item is a 'Visa Application Fee (for learning residence permit)' charged 'As per actual charges'. That is the fee for converting an X1 visa into a residence permit payable to the Chinese exit-entry authorities, not an application fee for studying. Because no official page states a study application fee and none states that applications are free, the status is recorded as unknown rather than confirmed-free.
