Published dates and unconfirmed windows

Application timing and source scope

For the 2026/2027 degree intake, Chongqing University's undergraduate and postgraduate prospectuses set a general self-funded deadline of 31 May 2026 Beijing time; scholarship programs use their own notices. The 2026 CSC Silk Road Program closed on 15 May 2026 and was limited to ten named countries. Other 2026 scholarship notices also had separate dates. For the International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship, the university's 2026 guide sets a 31 October 2026 deadline for March 2027 entry. The guide requires applications in both the scholarship platform and Chongqing University's portal. It does not state an opening date. Its award covers tuition, campus accommodation, medical insurance and a monthly stipend; the three-year master's program receives scholarship funding for two years. No 2027/2028 general degree or CSC Type B deadline was found in the university's notices checked on 2 October 2026. The 2026 degree and Silk Road deadlines have passed. The separate 2026 Joint CSC postgraduate call closed 25 February 2026 and required its CNY 400 application fee before that cutoff. This closed call does not establish a 2027 degree window.

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.
