Admissions timeline
CSC/CGS planning season: general government guidance describes September through the following March, but this is not a deadline for every route. Check the current embassy, dispatching-authority or university notice for the exact opening, submission stages and closing date.
Typical intake: September; some universities offer a smaller March intake.
We have not yet hand-checked a current application window for Southwest University of Political Science and Law, so no status pill is shown. Absence from our verified list does not mean closed: confirm on the official admission notice. Verified windows sitewide were last checked September 14, 2026.
CSC application deadline
For the 2026/2027 intake the dates published by the university are as follows. Undergraduate applications ran from 1 January to 10 May 2026 ('四、申请时间 2026年1月1日至5月10日'), which has closed. Postgraduate applications, per the notice published on 8 January 2026, had to be submitted online before 20 May 2026, which has also closed; the same notice states that applicants for the CSC High Level Postgraduate Program had to register on both application systems before 20 February 2026, which has closed. The 2026 Chinese Language Program had two windows, 10 November to 10 December 2025 for the spring term and 10 March to 10 June 2026 for the autumn term, both now closed. The university published a notice on 27 February 2026 entitled 关于延长2026年中国政府奖学金申请截止时间的通知 extending the CSC deadline, but the notice's own target URL returns 404, so the extended date could not be read and is not reproduced here. No university-scholarship deadline is separately published, because the President Scholarship form is submitted together with the admission application. The Chongqing Mayor Scholarship publishes no application deadline, only annual-review outcomes. No notice exists yet for the 2027/2028 intake on either SWUPL site, so no window for it can be stated.

Deadline directory reviewed 8 August 2026. The 2027-2028 cycle is not yet published for most universities, so older dates are labelled as prior-cycle evidence or typical planning windows. Confirm the exact program and scholarship deadline on the official portal before applying.
