Funding route on this profile

The profile includes CSC-related application guidance for Bohai University. Type B participation, eligible programs, and deadlines must be confirmed in the current university call.

Application fee

The application-fee status has not been verified for the current route. An application- or registration-fee amount was not established in the recorded review of Bohai University’s cited official notices and application form. The 2025/2026 international undergraduate brochure (bhuwsc.com/796/114.html) covers tuition, the CSCA test requirement and scholarship routes but states no application fee; the 2026 International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship prospectus (bhuwsc.com/796/117.html) likewise lists application materials and deadlines with no fee; the 2026/2027 CSC High Level Postgraduate notices in Chinese and English (bhuwsc.com/796/88.html and /796/87.html) describe an email-and-online-interview process without mentioning a charge; and the official 渤海大学外国留学生入学申请表 (bhuwsc.com/796/99.html, .doc), which is the university's own application form, carries only a general pledge to 按时缴纳费用 (pay the necessary fees on time) and no fee figure. Because the reviewed materials establish neither a charge nor a free application, fee status is recorded as unknown rather than confirmed-free.

Chinese requires HSK 4 at 180; English IELTS 6/TOEFL 80 or permitted proof. A mandatory supervisor letter or fee stage is unstated. This historical 2026 call does not establish 2027 deadlines.

Document checklist and upload instructions

Use the document list for your exact program. Prepare these common items, then add any scholarship-specific forms:

  • Identity: passport information page and photograph. Copy your name, birth date and passport number exactly into each application.
  • Education: diploma or official expected-graduation certificate, transcripts and any required degree authentication. Include the original language and certified translations where requested.
  • Language: the required HSK, IELTS, TOEFL or accepted alternative. A medium-of-instruction letter replaces a test only if the program allows it.
  • Academic materials: study plan or research proposal; graduate recommendation letters; supervisor or pre-admission letter when required. Some systems send referees a private submission link.
  • Additional requirements: CSCA results for applicable undergraduate routes; portfolio for relevant arts programs; medical form, police clearance, financial guarantee or guardian documents when listed. Check validity periods before arranging time-sensitive documents.

Scan each complete document clearly. Use the file type and size limit shown beside its upload field; combine multi-page documents only where the system permits. Open every uploaded file to check legibility, page order, signatures and stamps. Keep a copy of everything you submit.
