Application fee

CNY 500 Exact application-fee wording in the 2026 Autumn guide (published 2026-06-15): '五、收费内容和标准 1.申请费:500元(最终录取与否,报名费均不退还)'; the official English edition reads 'Ⅴ. Fees 1. Application Fee: RMB 500 (non-refundable).' It is charged as a 报名费/申请费 for processing the application and is explicitly NOT refundable whether or not the applicant is admitted; the CSC High-Level Graduate notice repeats '通过初审的申请人,需支付报名费500元人民币' and '无论录取与否,报名费均不退还'. Separately, a 注册费 (registration fee) of 500元每人每学年 ('Annual Registration Fee: RMB 500') is payable after enrolment in each academic year — this is a distinct annual charge, not the application fee. The identical 500元 application fee appears in the 2025 Autumn guide and in the 2026/2027 Silk Road CSC notice, so it is the standing rate; the only different figure found is the 2026 CSC Short-term Research Exchange programme, which charges a 项目报名费 of 600元(不可退). TUITION IS SEPARATE AND MUCH LARGER: Chinese-taught undergraduate 12,000元/年; English-taught undergraduate 1.65万元/年 (16,500元/年); master's 1.9万元/年 (19,000元/年); doctoral 2.35万元/年 (23,500元/年); Chinese-language (非学历) student 1.6万元/年 (16,000元/年); accommodation 敏行轩5栋双人间 6000元/生/年, 三人间 4400元/生/年, 四人间 3000元/生/年. No insurance premium amount is published anywhere — the guide only states '来华留学生必须按照要求投保。对未按照规定购买保险的,学校将取消入学资格。'

Published dates and unconfirmed windows

Application timing and source scope

The 2026 autumn admission window and most 2026 scholarship routes are closed. The official International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship table pairs March 2027 entry with 31 October 2027; this date falls after the stated entry and appears inconsistent. Preserve the university's published date as an apparent error pending correction and do not substitute 31 October 2026. The regular 2026 application fee was CNY 500 and the separate annual registration fee was CNY 500; the short-term research exchange route charged a distinct CNY 600 project fee. The Type A bilateral scholarship allowance schedule does not apply to every scholarship route. No confirmed 2027/28 degree deadline was found.

Recorded CSC agency number; confirm it in the current CSC call: 10536

Guide scope reviewed 3 October 2026. Dates apply only to the intake and route named in each notice.

An exact 2027 admission window is not established by the reviewed university sources. Check the prospectus for your degree and teaching language before scheduling submission.

University website — locate the current admission notice

2026 autumn direct admissions

Register in the university portal, upload clear scans and submit. Initial document review is followed by academic review and a written test or interview covering language and subject knowledge. Successful applicants receive admission documents. Prepare diploma, transcripts, passport, police record, language evidence, financial guarantee and medical form. Graduate applicants add a study plan of at least 500 words and two academic recommendations; undergraduate applicants add CSCA. The non-refundable application fee is CNY 500; the separate CNY 500 annual registration charge applies after enrollment. Insurance is compulsory. Confirm current availability because this is the 2026 intake notice.

Reference: Published June 15, 2026; rolling until places filled, no fixed closing date. Confirm the latest notice for the same course and route before applying.

Read the university's procedure
  1. 1

    Choose your program and intake

    Check Changsha University of Science and Technology's current prospectus for your degree, teaching language, eligibility and deadline. Arrange supervisor contact or pre-admission first when the program requires it.

    Read official admission instructions
  2. 2

    Prepare your documents

    Use the checklist below, then compare it with your program's required documents. Prepare any signed forms, translations and referee submissions before starting the final application.

  3. 3

    Complete the university application

    Use the official application link and complete the fields required for your route. Submit documents only through the channel and at the stage stated in the current notice. Pay a charge only when instructed; retain any submission confirmation the system provides.

  4. 4

    Review your offer and costs

    Check tuition, accommodation, insurance, payment deadlines and any financial-guarantee requirement. Accept the offer through the university's stated process. A CSC application is not part of a purely self-funded route.

  5. 5

    Track decisions and respond to requests

    Check your portal and email for missing-document requests, interviews and results. If a form is returned, correct it and resubmit. Keep admission and scholarship decisions separate; follow the final offer for acceptance, registration and original-document checks.

See annotated portal walkthroughs

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.

Application templates
How to fill the university application

Follow the submission method in your programme's notice. The steps below apply when it requires an online form; email and paper applications follow their separate source-linked instructions above.

  1. Open the university link for your degree level. On an admissions website, find the international-student application entry, then register or sign in. Button names vary between systems.
  2. Choose the correct entry year, degree, teaching language and program. Read its requirements before selecting your funding option.
  3. Enter personal information as it appears in your passport. List education and employment dates accurately, and enter a reliable email address.
  4. Complete the study plan and referee fields. Upload each document to its matching slot; enter a CSC application number only if your route asks for one.
  5. Preview the whole application. Follow the fee instructions, submit the form and check that the system acknowledges submission. Saving a draft does not submit it.
How to fill the CSC application
  1. Open the CSC portal below and register or sign in. Complete your personal details before starting the scholarship application.
  2. Select the application category specified in the current scholarship call. Type A commonly uses a dispatching authority and Type B a university; confirm the exact category and agency number in that route's current notice and check the receiving institution displayed by the system.
  3. Select the degree category, teaching language, major and study period specified by the eligible program. Keep these consistent with your university application.
  4. Upload the requested documents, review all fields and submit. Download the completed application form; sign and upload it to the university or dispatching-authority system when instructed.
  5. Save your application number and a copy of the submitted form. If you withdraw to edit, submit again before the deadline and tell the receiving office if it already began reviewing your application.

University agency number on record: 10536. For Type B, match it to Changsha University of Science and Technology in CSC. Type A uses your dispatching authority's number instead.
