Application fee

人民币600元/人/次 (RMB 600 per person per application; 无论是否录取,一律不退 — non-refundable whether or not the applicant is admitted) RESOLVED — CDUTCM does publish an application fee, so this profile is 'fee-required', not 'unknown'. 报名费 = RMB 600 per person per application, non-refundable regardless of the admission outcome. Exact official wording: the 2026 undergraduate guide states '1. 报名费:人民币600元/人/次(无论是否录取,一律不退)' and its English edition states '1. Application Fee: RMB 600/person(Non-refundable, regardless of admission outcome).'; the 2026 self-funded postgraduate guide repeats '(一)报名费 人民币600元/人/次(无论是否录取,一律不退)'. The postgraduate guide additionally publishes a separate EXAMINATION fee: '(二)考试费 人民币800元/人/次' — RMB 800 per person per sitting, which is a distinct charge from the 报名费 and is not part of it. TUITION IS NOT THE APPLICATION FEE and must not be recorded as one: tuition is RMB 25,000/year (Chinese-taught) or RMB 30,000/year (English-taught) for medical undergraduate programmes, RMB 16,000/year for natural-science undergraduate programmes and RMB 14,000/year for liberal-arts and management undergraduate programmes, while postgraduate tuition is RMB 38,000/year (Chinese-taught doctoral) / RMB 45,000/year (English-taught doctoral) / RMB 30,000/year (Chinese-taught master's) / RMB 38,000/year (English-taught master's). Those are annual charges. Accommodation is RMB 2,400/person/year for a twin room at Wenjiang campus and RMB 1,200/person/year for a twin room at Shi'erqiao campus, and insurance is about RMB 1,000/person/year — again annual charges, not application fees. No page read says applying is free, and no page read states a refund rule for the 报名费 other than that it is never refunded.

Published dates and unconfirmed windows

Application timing and source scope

2026/2027 cycle, re-checked on 29 September 2026. Chengdu Municipal Government Scholarship for International Students (成都市留学生政府奖学金), 2026-2027 academic year: the published application period for this award is 11 to 30 September 2026, closing at the end of 30 September 2026 Beijing time. The School of International Education notice at https://zyd.cdutcm.edu.cn/gjjyxy/tzgg/content_142852 (published 2026-09-10 10:07:28, re-opened and read in full on 24 September 2026) states verbatim '2026年9月11日-9月30日,逾期不予受理' / 'The application period is from September 11 to September 30, 2026. Late applications will not be accepted.', so the window recorded on this profile — 11 to 30 September 2026 — remained exactly accurate when the notice was reopened on 30 September 2026; the window closes at the end of 30 September 2026 Beijing time; materials go to 行政楼510办公室 (Office 510, Administrative Building). Scope, read from the notice's own text on 24 September 2026: the 申请对象 (applicants) section names '已在我校就读的外国硕士研究生、本科生' (international master's and undergraduate students already studying at the university), and the notice's 其他要求 require applicants to have paid tuition, accommodation and insurance and to hold no other international-student scholarship, with age not exceeding 30 for bachelor's or 35 for master's; the 申报材料 materials list also asks new students for pre-admission academic certificates. This is a scholarship window, not an admission window, and it is not evidence that self-funded degree admission is open. The same school published on 14 September 2026 the annual assessment notice for the 2026 Sichuan Provincial and Chengdu Government Scholarships (https://zyd.cdutcm.edu.cn/gjjyxy/tzgg/content_142911, published 2026-09-14 11:20:05), which applies to continuing scholarship holders; it sets a self-assessment and college-submission deadline of 30 September 2026 ('在9月30日前进入成都中医药大学国际学生在线服务系统...完成自评' and '于9月30日前将《奖学金年度评审(学校评审)表》及支撑材料报送国际教育学院'). CLOSED, and this is a correction to the profile: the profile says the most recent full-text official Chinese Government Scholarship notice covers the 2025 intake and that no 2026 edition had been published. That is contradicted — the 2026 edition exists. 2026年成都中医药大学中国政府奖学金高水平研究生项目招生简章 was published on 28 October 2025 at https://zyd.cdutcm.edu.cn/gjjyxy/zsxx/wjxs/content_135207 (English version content_135208), and it required applicants to register and apply on the CDUTCM International Student Online Service System (https://cdutcm.17gz.org/) before 2 February 2026 ('2026年2月2日以前'), with expert review results expected by around 6 March 2026, the pre-admission notice uploaded to the CSC system (受理机构编号 10633, programme type B) before 9 March 2026, and study starting in early September 2026. That round closed on 2 February 2026. CLOSED self-funded windows: the 2026 undergraduate guide (https://zyd.cdutcm.edu.cn/gjjyxy/zsxx/wjxs/content_136178, published 2025-11-28 08:59:52) and its English version content_136179 give 申请时间 '即日起- 2026年6月30日' / 'From now until June 30, 2026', and the 2026 self-funded postgraduate guide (content_113491, published 2026-03-19 16:25:51) gives '即日起- 2026年6月30日,全天24小时'; both closed on 30 June 2026. NEWER NOTICES SEARCHED FOR: no 2027-intake guide exists; the College of International Education's 招生简章 > 外籍学生 column (https://zyd.cdutcm.edu.cn/gjjyxy/zsxx/wjxs) lists the 2026 guides as its newest admissions-guide entries, and the 通知公告 board (https://zyd.cdutcm.edu.cn/gjjyxy/tzgg) lists the newest item as the 14 September 2026 annual-assessment notice. The Sichuan Provincial Government Scholarship has no dated round notice later than the ones above on the pages read. Status as of 2 October 2026: the 2026 Type B deadline (2 February), self-funded degree deadlines (30 June), and September 2026 Chengdu scholarship/annual-review deadlines (30 September) have passed. No 2027/28 call was found.

Document checklist and upload instructions

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

  • 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.
