CSC host status

Zhaoqing University is absent from CampusChina Appendix 2 dated 8 April 2024. The reviewed 2026 non-degree notice publishes no CSC route or code; current host-list status and any other possible CSC route are unverified.

Tuition per year

Chinese-language CNY 15,000 per academic year, or CNY 7,500 per semester — the 2026 notice is a non-degree brochure and publishes one rate covering both the Chinese Language Training programme and the Foundation programme

Tuition notes

The published 2026 international brochure is explicitly non-degree education (非学历教育), so it states only the language/foundation rate; group applications may be priced on actual duration and class hours (以团组形式申请成班的根据实际时长及课时量计算学费). The international section separately advertises bachelor's articulation (本科插班制) programmes in Computer Science, English (Teacher Education), Electrical Engineering and Automation, and Accounting, and master's programmes in Physical Education and Design (MFA), but their 2026-06-25 programme descriptions publish no tuition figures, so those rates are not recorded here.

Accommodation

On-campus: International Student Apartment, single suite (one bedroom and one living room), CNY 13,500 per person per academic year, or CNY 1,500 per month for stays under six months — only 11 suites exist and are allocated first-come, first-served by application order. Student Dormitory, four-person rooms, approximately CNY 1,500 per person per academic year, subject to the university's arrangement. These fees exclude campus Wi-Fi, bedding, water and electricity. Students who cannot secure on-campus housing may arrange off-campus accommodation, after reporting to the university in advance, signing an accommodation commitment letter and registering temporary residence at the local police station within 24 hours.

Medical insurance

No amount stated. Students may buy the comprehensive insurance for international students in China (accident and illness medical care, hospitalisation, accidental disability and death) themselves; the university requires all international students to be insured and will not admit those without insurance.

No separate registration fee is stated; the notice lists only the CNY 500 application fee and tuition.
