Scope: International student admission at Xi'an International Studies University: the published CSC route and the absence of a published agency number, application windows for the 2026 cycle, the registration fee and other costs, tuition, the scholarship names XISU publishes, and entry requirements across six.xisu.edu.cn..

Scholarship

Xi'an International Studies University is a Chinese Government Scholarship host institution whose only published CSC route is the Bilateral Program (国别双边项目), applied for through the applicant's home-country student dispatching authority; the university names a Silk Road Program page that currently states the content is still being compiled.

CSC agency number

No CSC agency number is published by XISU. Its Chinese Government Scholarship page reproduces the national rule that the operation notes and the 受理机构编号 (receiving agency number) of the CSC online application system must be obtained from the applicant's home-country dispatching authority, and neither the page, the admission pages, the fees page, the 2026 New Sinology notice, the 2026 International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship guide nor the university's own application portal at xisu.chiwest.cn states an institution code for XISU.

Programmes

The CSC Bilateral Program window is published as generally early January to early April, to be confirmed with the applicant's home-country dispatching authority.

Tuition

Annual tuition is 16,000 CNY for degree undergraduates, 20,000 CNY for master's students and 24,000 CNY for doctoral students, with language students paying 14,600 CNY per academic year; the CSC host list independently records XISU bachelor's tuition at 16,000 CNY, with Animation and Visual Communication Design at 26,000 CNY.
