Application fee
CNY 800 The application fee is CNY 800 (报名费：800元人民币) at every degree level, stated identically in all three of the conservatory's own 2026 international student prospectuses. The undergraduate prospectus (中国音乐学院2026年留学生本科招生简章, 13 January 2026) states 报名费：800元人民币（如考生本人弃考报考费不予退还）; the master's prospectus (2026年留学生硕士研究生招生简章, 20 December 2025) states 报名费：800元人民币（如考生本人弃考报考费不予退还）; and the doctoral prospectus (2026年留学生博士研究生招生简章, 26 January 2026) states 报名费：800元人民币. Each adds that submitted works, articles and the application fee are not refunded whether or not the applicant sits the examination (考生所提交作品、文章等材料和报名费等，不论参加考试与否，均不予退还), and the fee is not refunded to applicants who withdraw (弃考). This CNY 800 is the one-off application fee only and is not tuition; the same prospectuses separately give tuition of CNY 32,000 per year for undergraduates, CNY 38,000 per year for master's students and CNY 42,000 per year for doctoral students, which is recorded under tuition.

Published dates and unconfirmed windows
Application timing and source scope
The China Conservatory of Music (中国音乐学院) publishes a separate dated registration window for each degree level rather than one common deadline, and all 2026 windows have closed.
