Application dates, fees and sources

Southwest University of Political Science and Law (西南政法大学) publishes intake-scoped windows in its own 2026 international prospectuses on the School of International Education site (sie.swupl.edu.cn). The 2026 international undergraduate prospectus states the application period as 1 January 2026 to 10 May 2026 (2026年1月1日至5月10日) for the 2026/2027 intake; that window has closed. The international postgraduate prospectus sets a self-funded postgraduate deadline of 20 May 2026, also closed, and separately applies an earlier cut-off of 20 February 2026 for the Chinese Government Scholarship 高水平研究生项目 (High-Level Graduate Program) route; both 2026 dates have passed. The non-degree Chinese language programme runs in two rounds — spring 2026 from 10 November to 10 December 2025 and autumn 2026 from 10 March to 10 June 2026 — and the exchange/general advanced-study programme takes nominations by 1 April for the autumn semester and 1 November for the spring semester, with online registration from 15 March to 15 May and 1 November to 1 December. The explicitly dated spring and autumn 2026 language rounds are closed; the exchange/advanced-study nomination and registration ranges are standing semester rules, not independently confirmed dated 2026 or 2027 windows. The recorded Chongqing Municipal Government Mayor Scholarship page describes an annual 1 June deadline; its exact current-call applicability was not reconfirmed from the inaccessible source. A 2027/2028 admissions or scholarship schedule was not verified from sie.swupl.edu.cn or studyin.swupl.edu.cn in the recorded 7 October 2026 review. The source pages were inaccessible; the January 2026 prospectuses remain previously recorded historical evidence, and no next-intake timing is established here. The university states no CSC agency number of its own: its Chinese Government Scholarship Bilateral Program page says the 受理机构编号 must be obtained from the applicant's home-country dispatching authority, so the field is omitted. The official SWUPL admissions pages returned HTTP 412 during the 2 October recheck; retain the 2026 dates only as previously sourced historical information. No 2027 dates or current portal link were verified.

For Southwest University of Political Science and Law, 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 October 9, 2026.

Document checklist and upload instructions

Use the document list for your exact program. Prepare these common items, then add any scholarship-specific forms:

  • Identity: passport information page and photograph. Copy your name, birth date and passport number exactly into each application.
  • Education: diploma or official expected-graduation certificate, transcripts and any required degree authentication. Include the original language and certified translations where requested.
  • Language: the required HSK, IELTS, TOEFL or accepted alternative. A medium-of-instruction letter replaces a test only if the program allows it.
  • Academic materials: study plan or research proposal; graduate recommendation letters; supervisor or pre-admission letter when required. Some systems send referees a private submission link.
  • Additional requirements: CSCA results for applicable undergraduate routes; portfolio for relevant arts programs; medical form, police clearance, financial guarantee or guardian documents when listed. Check validity periods before arranging time-sensitive documents.

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 templates
How 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.

  1. Open the university link for your degree level. On an admissions website, find the international-student application entry, then register or sign in. Button names vary between systems.
  2. Choose the correct entry year, degree, teaching language and program. Read its requirements before selecting your funding option.
  3. Enter personal information as it appears in your passport. List education and employment dates accurately, and enter a reliable email address.
  4. 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.
  5. Preview the whole application. Follow the fee instructions, submit the form and check that the system acknowledges submission. Saving a draft does not submit it.
How to fill the CSC application
  1. Open the CSC portal below and register or sign in. Complete your personal details before starting the scholarship application.
  2. 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.
  3. Select the degree category, teaching language, major and study period specified by the eligible program. Keep these consistent with your university application.
  4. Upload the requested documents, review all fields and submit. Download the completed application form; sign and upload it to the university or dispatching-authority system when instructed.
  5. Save your application number and a copy of the submitted form. If you withdraw to edit, submit again before the deadline and tell the receiving office if it already began reviewing your application.

Costs 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 application fee is published. Every SWUPL 费用 (fees) section read lists only tuition and accommodation: the 2026 international undergraduate prospectus gives 学费:20000元人民币/年 (undergraduate tuition CNY 20,000/year) and 住宿费:四人间,2000元人民币/人/年 (four-person room CNY 2,000/person/year) and nothing else; the 2026 international postgraduate prospectus gives doctoral tuition of CNY 32,000/year and master's tuition of CNY 25,000/year with single, double and four-person room rates; the Chinese language programme gives tuition of CNY 6,000/semester or CNY 12,000/year plus accommodation of CNY 1,000/semester or CNY 2,000/year; and the English-language 2026 SWUPL undergraduate and postgraduate pages carry the same tuition and accommodation tables. SWUPL's stated application procedure has no payment step — it runs register, upload, submit, check status, interview notice, interview, result, confirm acceptance, then the admission letter and JW202/JW201 form — and the university says original documents are brought for verification at registration. Because these amounts are annual or per-semester tuition and the university publishes no application charge, the status is recorded as unknown rather than confirmed-free; the figures above are tuition and must never be published as an application fee. Rechecked 2 October 2026: official admissions pages were blocked with HTTP 412, so current-cycle fee status remains unknown rather than confirmed free.

Common questions

Does Southwest University of Political Science and Law accept CSC Type B applications?

Southwest University of Political Science and Law 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 Southwest University of Political Science and Law 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 Southwest University of Political Science and Law 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 Southwest University of Political Science and Law?

The latest official information checked October 7, 2026 says: Southwest University of Political Science and Law (西南政法大学) publishes intake-scoped windows in its own 2026 international prospectuses on the School of International Education site (sie.swupl.edu.cn). The 2026 international undergraduate prospectus states the application period as 1 January 2026 to 10 May 2026 (2026年1月1日至5月10日) for the 2026/2027 intake; that window has closed. The international postgraduate prospectus sets a self-funded postgraduate deadline of 20 May 2026, also closed, and separately applies an earlier cut-off of 20 February 2026 for the Chinese Government Scholarship 高水平研究生项目 (High-Level Graduate Program) route; both 2026 dates have passed. The non-degree Chinese language programme runs in two rounds — spring 2026 from 10 November to 10 December 2025 and autumn 2026 from 10 March to 10 June 2026 — and the exchange/general advanced-study programme takes nominations by 1 April for the autumn semester and 1 November for the spring semester, with online registration from 15 March to 15 May and 1 November to 1 December. The explicitly dated spring and autumn 2026 language rounds are closed; the exchange/advanced-study nomination and registration ranges are standing semester rules, not independently confirmed dated 2026 or 2027 windows. The recorded Chongqing Municipal Government Mayor Scholarship page describes an annual 1 June deadline; its exact current-call applicability was not reconfirmed from the inaccessible source. A 2027/2028 admissions or scholarship schedule was not verified from sie.swupl.edu.cn or studyin.swupl.edu.cn in the recorded 7 October 2026 review. The source pages were inaccessible; the January 2026 prospectuses remain previously recorded historical evidence, and no next-intake timing is established here. The university states no CSC agency number of its own: its Chinese Government Scholarship Bilateral Program page says the 受理机构编号 must be obtained from the applicant's home-country dispatching authority, so the field is omitted. The official SWUPL admissions pages returned HTTP 412 during the 2 October recheck; retain the 2026 dates only as previously sourced historical information. No 2027 dates or current portal link were verified. Check the current notice for your degree, route, and intake before applying.

What can I study at Southwest University of Political Science and Law on a CSC scholarship?

Fields listed for Southwest University of Political Science and Law in Chongqing include 国际教育学院 (School of International Education), 国际法学院 (School of International Law), 民商法学院 (School of Civil and Commercial Law), 经济法学院 (School of Economic Law). 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 Southwest University of Political Science and Law charge an application fee?

No application fee is published. Every SWUPL 费用 (fees) section read lists only tuition and accommodation: the 2026 international undergraduate prospectus gives 学费:20000元人民币/年 (undergraduate tuition CNY 20,000/year) and 住宿费:四人间,2000元人民币/人/年 (four-person room CNY 2,000/person/year) and nothing else; the 2026 international postgraduate prospectus gives doctoral tuition of CNY 32,000/year and master's tuition of CNY 25,000/year with single, double and four-person room rates; the Chinese language programme gives tuition of CNY 6,000/semester or CNY 12,000/year plus accommodation of CNY 1,000/semester or CNY 2,000/year; and the English-language 2026 SWUPL undergraduate and postgraduate pages carry the same tuition and accommodation tables. SWUPL's stated application procedure has no payment step — it runs register, upload, submit, check status, interview notice, interview, result, confirm acceptance, then the admission letter and JW202/JW201 form — and the university says original documents are brought for verification at registration. Because these amounts are annual or per-semester tuition and the university publishes no application charge, the status is recorded as unknown rather than confirmed-free; the figures above are tuition and must never be published as an application fee. Rechecked 2 October 2026: official admissions pages were blocked with HTTP 412, so current-cycle fee status remains unknown rather than confirmed free.

Figures based on China Scholarship Council program information. Always verify current details on campuschina.org and your target university's admissions page.
