How to apply to China University of Petroleum (Beijing)

中国石油大学(北京)

Beijing, Beijing, China

This guide brings together the application routes, published timing, submission methods, scholarship steps, documents, and source links recorded for China University of Petroleum (Beijing). Requirements can differ by degree, program, teaching language, and funding route. The university’s current notice controls the application.

Funding route on this profile

The profile includes CSC-related application guidance for China University of Petroleum (Beijing). Type B participation, eligible programs, and deadlines must be confirmed in the current university call.

Agency number recorded: 11414. Confirm it in the current Type B notice before submitting.

Application fee

CNY 400 (stated as 400 RMB / 70 USD) The four recovered 2026 Chinese brochures list an application charge of CNY 400 or USD 70, separate from tuition and accommodation. CUP’s dedicated CSC page waives the charge for Type A applicants; its 2026 English undergraduate guide requires all other applicants to pay before admission consideration. The standing FAQ describes online payment or office/bank payment; for the latter, upload the receipt and wait for Admissions verification before continuing submission. Tuition and housing are paid at registration. The reviewed sources do not state an application-fee refund rule or establish a 2027 charge. Undergraduate tuition in the 2026 guide is CNY 25,000/year.

Source-linked admission details

CSC agency number, Type-A versus Type-B application routes and the 2026/2027 graduate deadline revision; corroborated by the 2026 bachelor's, master's, doctoral and Chinese language brochures and the 3 March 2026 deadline notice. · recorded source check: October 2, 2026

CSC agency number
China University of Petroleum (Beijing)'s CSC Type-B agency number is 11414, stated on the university's own Chinese Government Scholarship page as 中国政府奖学金B类项目(通过学校提交申请,申请代码11414) and repeated identically in its 2026 bachelor's, master's and doctoral brochures.
CSC agency number
The university publishes no agency number for the CSC Type-A country bilateral route; its CSC page directs Type-A applicants to obtain 受理机构编号 from their own country's student dispatch authority.
Application fee
The application fee is 400 CNY or USD 70, published as 报名费 in the 2026 brochures; CSC Type-A applicants are exempt (中国政府奖学金A类申请无需申请费).
Application fee
Undergraduate tuition is 25,000 CNY per year, per the 2026 bachelor's brochure; the same brochure gives the application fee as 400 CNY, confirming the two are separate charges.
Accommodation
On-campus accommodation costs 800 to 1,200 CNY per person per month depending on room type, per the 2026 brochures.
Application deadline
The university revised the 2026 graduate application deadline to 23:59 Beijing time on 10 March 2026 by notice dated 3 March 2026, with a material-supplementation deadline of 23:59 on 15 March 2026.
Application deadline
The dedicated CSC page, whose document requirements refer to September 2026, prints March 1 for the High-Level Postgraduate route. A separate March 3, 2026 notice changes graduate application submission to March 10 at 23:59 Beijing time. The sources do not explain how this revision affects the earlier specialist cutoff; confirm the route-specific deadline with CUP. Neither establishes a 2027 cutoff.
Scholarship
CUP’s standing Beijing Government Scholarship page applies to new cohorts from 2024 onward and prints May 15 for undergraduate and May 30 for graduate applications. The 2026 undergraduate guide instead gives June 15, and the March 3, 2026 graduate revision gives March 10 at 23:59. These differing source dates need route-specific confirmation; the standing scholarship page does not independently confirm a 2027 schedule.
Verified fact
All bachelor's applicants for 2026 must submit a CSCA (China Scholastic Competency Assessment) score.
Verified fact
China University of Petroleum (Beijing) is a designated CSC host institution: it appears as entry 44, Beijing, 中国石油大学(北京) / China University of Petroleum (Beijing), in the CSC Chinese University List.
Tuition notes
From the 2026 International Student brochures published by the College of International Education, read directly from the official PDFs.
Accommodation
On-campus housing costs between 800 CNY and 1,200 CNY per person per month depending on room type, as stated in the 2026 brochures. CSC scholarship students living on campus are allocated a free double standard room with the housing fee paid directly by the government to the university; the 2026 bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral brochures each print a CNY 700 monthly subsidy for approved off-campus CSC students. The dedicated CSC page distinguishes CNY 700 for bachelor’s/master’s/general scholars and CNY 1,000 for doctoral/senior scholars. These official doctoral amounts conflict; confirm the awarded housing terms with CUP. Neither source proves a current 2027 allowance.
Medical insurance
Comprehensive medical insurance is 800 CNY per person per year, or 400 CNY for a study period of less than six months. For CSC and International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship students the insurance premium is paid by the government rather than the student. The International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship page gives 160 CNY for four-week students, 400 CNY for one-semester students and 800 CNY per year for students staying a year or longer.
2027/28 opening status
No dated 2027/28 call was listed on the official Admission Notices index checked 2 October 2026. The university describes October as its usual opening month, but no cycle-specific opening date is confirmed.

Published dates and unconfirmed windows

Application timing and source scope

CUP’s 2026 undergraduate guide gives October 25, 2025–June 15, 2026 for self-funded and Beijing Government Scholarship applications; its Chinese undergraduate guide also prints recurring October 15–June 15 for Type B. The dated March 3, 2026 notice revised graduate submission to March 10, 2026 at 23:59 Beijing time, and returned-file supplementation to March 15 at 23:59. Dedicated scholarship pages still print March 1 for High-Level postgraduate, May 15/May 30 for Silk Road undergraduate/graduate, and May 15/May 30 for Beijing Government undergraduate/graduate awards; the 2026 graduate brochures print recurring May 30. These official source dates differ; confirm route-specific interpretation rather than treating them as one schedule. Their 2026 degree dates are historical. The newly recovered 2026 language guide gives January 1, 2026 for spring and June 30, 2026 for autumn general language admission, and separately October 31 for March 2027 ICLTS entry. That scholarship cutoff does not establish a full-degree or self-funded spring 2027 opening. The prior June 30, 2025 language/foundation cutoff remains a separate historical notice. The official index reviewed October 3, 2026 did not establish a 2027/2028 degree call; no new opening is inferred from recurring October guidance.

Recorded CSC agency number; confirm it in the current CSC call: 11414

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

March 2027 one-semester ICLTS

Five-month one-semester ICLTS, March 2027 entry; programme eligibility applies

Opening:
Not stated in the 2026 brochure
Closing:
October 31,2026 (October 31 before the stated March 2027 entry)

The 2026 language brochure explicitly names March 2027 entry and October 31 applicant cutoff. The closing year is read in that 2026-cycle context; it is not separately printed beside the cutoff. University-first application/interview/recommendation then CIS submission is required. No opening or open-now proof is stated.

University website — locate the current route notice

CSC Type B; source refers to September 2026 enrollment

Complete both CSC and CUP applications using Type B and agency 11414; the dedicated notice does not prescribe which submission comes first. Prepare a notarized qualification, sealed transcripts, language proof, university pre-admission material, two academic references, passport, and medical/police evidence normally valid for six months. Transcripts in other languages require the specified notarized translation. The Chinese page prints a plan of 1000字以上; English says more than 1,000 characters or words. Doctoral applicants need supervisor acceptance and a supervisor-signed plan. Complete the CSC form online; the Chinese page says not to print or upload it to CUP. Confirm eligible Silk Road countries/majors in the portal. Specialist cutoffs differ from CUP’s March 3, 2026 graduate revision; obtain route-specific confirmation. These are historical 2026 instructions, not a 2027 call.

Reference: High-Level graduate March 1; Silk Road undergraduate May 15 and graduate May 30; source tied to 2026. 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 China University of Petroleum (Beijing)'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

    Follow the portal order in the Type B notice

    If it asks for the CSC form in the university system, finish CSC first and upload that form. If it asks for university admission or recommendation first, complete that stage before CSC. Where both systems are required, submit to both; use a CSC-only process only when the official notice explicitly specifies it.

    Read official admission instructions
  4. 4

    Complete the required application systems

    Use the university and CSC instructions below in the order specified by your program. Keep names, degree, major and teaching language consistent across the forms. Check submission status in every required system.

  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.
