Traces its lineage to the 1924 Xinjiang Russian Law and Politics Specialized School, became Xinjiang College in 1935, and was formally established as Xinjiang University in 1960, later merging with Xinjiang Institute of Technology in 2000. It holds Double First-Class status but was one of 15 universities placed on a Ministry of Education warning list in February 2022, requiring rectification ahead of a 2024 reassessment. With recognised strengths in College of Ecology and Environment, School of Information Science and Engineering, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, School of Resources and Environmental Science, Xinjiang University is a strong destination for international students seeking the fully funded Chinese Government Scholarship for the 2027-2028 academic year. This guide walks you through exactly how to apply for the CSC scholarship at Xinjiang University, from choosing your program to submitting your documents online.
Xinjiang University is the main comprehensive research university in Xinjiang and a national Double First-Class institution. Its location in Urumqi makes it unusually relevant for applicants working on Central Asia, regional development, arid-land ecology, energy, languages, and cross-border cooperation. It is not a substitute for a coastal university if your priority is a highly internationalized city, but it offers a distinctive academic and regional setting that few other CSC hosts can match.
The scholarship route is clearly documented. For the 2026 Chinese Government Scholarship High-Level Postgraduate Program, applicants used Type B and agency number 10755, submitted in both CGSIS and Xinjiang University's own international student system, and completed the university application by 8 February 2026. The official notice also told postgraduate applicants to contact a supervisor and obtain a pre-admission consent letter. The award covered tuition, accommodation, comprehensive medical insurance, and the standard monthly living allowance. It also listed a registration-fee exemption, but did not separately confirm whether the application portal charges a submission fee.
The English-medium offer is more concrete than many applicants assume. The 2026 notice listed English-taught master's programs in Computer Science and Technology, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Technology, and Pharmacy, with doctoral options also including Mathematics and Chemistry. That makes Xinjiang University a plausible strategic choice for technical applicants who want a fully funded route and can explain why the university's regional or disciplinary setting fits their research. The strongest application will connect a specific supervisor, a realistic project, and a clear reason for choosing Urumqi rather than treating the university as an easy fallback.
