Application dates, fees and sources
Wuhan University publishes month-level self-funded spring 2027 windows and a separate short-term China-Link route, when this was checked on 1 October 2026. For the 2027 spring semester the university's own pages give the application period as October 2026 to December 2026 for self-funded undergraduate applicants and for non-degree visiting scholars; both are month-level only, no day-level opening or closing date is published, and no degree-level master's or doctoral spring 2027 window is published. The 2027 autumn (2027-2028) window is not published. The most recent published windows are the 2026 cycle: undergraduate applications ran from 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026 and master's and doctoral applications from 1 December 2025 to 15 June 2026, with the university's own pages giving the undergraduate autumn deadline as 30 June 2026 on one page and 15 June 2026 on a sibling listing — an unresolved official difference recorded rather than smoothed over. The Chinese Government Scholarship High-Level Graduate Program (Type B) ran from 15 November 2025 to 25 February 2026 and the New Sinology Program doctoral route closed on 28 February 2026; all have closed. No 2027/2028 degree Type B call was located in that check. The separate China-Link short-term 2027 spring route has a 20 December 2026 deadline, recorded from the prior official notice; that notice returned HTTP 403 on 2 October 2026. Prior recorded 2026 notice evidence gives CNY 800 or USD 111 for fee-paying applicants, due within seven days after document review, and reports a CSC exemption. The source returned HTTP 403 on 2 October 2026; the exact route instruction was not freshly re-verified. Tuition is published per year, from CNY 20,000 for undergraduate humanities to CNY 55,000 for English-taught doctoral medicine, and language-student tuition is CNY 8,500 per semester or CNY 17,000 per year. A current room-specific accommodation tariff was not re-verified; confirm room type, billing period and charge with the university. Medical insurance is published on two official pages as CNY 500 per semester or CNY 1,000 per year in English and CNY 400 per semester or CNY 800 per year in Chinese — an unresolved official difference recorded rather than smoothed over. Wuhan University's CSC institution code for Type B is 10486, printed in its own notices. The undergraduate 2026 cutoff conflicts across university notices (15 June versus 30 June); both are historical and neither is a 2027 date. Prior recorded 2026 notice evidence reports a CSC fee exemption. The source returned HTTP 403 on 2 October 2026; confirm the exact route's payment instruction before paying. Room-specific accommodation rates remain unverified. The English and Chinese insurance pages conflict (CNY 1,000/year versus CNY 800/year); confirm with the university before budgeting. Type B high-level graduate coverage is postgraduate only; do not imply a confirmed 2027 bachelor stipend.
For Wuhan University, 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: CNY 800 is the recorded fee for fee-paying self-funded applicants. Prior recorded 2026 university notice evidence reports a CSC-route exemption; the current source returned HTTP 403 on 2 October 2026, so verify the exact route’s fee instruction before paying.

What is the application deadline for Wuhan University?
The latest official information checked October 1, 2026 says: Wuhan University publishes month-level self-funded spring 2027 windows and a separate short-term China-Link route, when this was checked on 1 October 2026. For the 2027 spring semester the university's own pages give the application period as October 2026 to December 2026 for self-funded undergraduate applicants and for non-degree visiting scholars; both are month-level only, no day-level opening or closing date is published, and no degree-level master's or doctoral spring 2027 window is published.

The Chinese Government Scholarship High-Level Graduate Program (Type B) ran from 15 November 2025 to 25 February 2026 and the New Sinology Program doctoral route closed on 28 February 2026; all have closed. No 2027/2028 degree Type B call was located in that check. The separate China-Link short-term 2027 spring route has a 20 December 2026 deadline, recorded from the prior official notice; that notice returned HTTP 403 on 2 October 2026.

Medical insurance is published on two official pages as CNY 500 per semester or CNY 1,000 per year in English and CNY 400 per semester or CNY 800 per year in Chinese — an unresolved official difference recorded rather than smoothed over. Wuhan University's CSC institution code for Type B is 10486, printed in its own notices.
