Published dates and unconfirmed windows

Application timing and source scope

Three separate 2026 scholarship calls were verified and are closed. The 2026–2027 CSC High-Level Postgraduate Type B route (master's/doctoral only) closed March 1, 2026; the Silk Road route covered eligible bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral applicants from listed Belt and Road countries and closed May 15, 2026, with interviews May 25–29 and pre-admission results at June's end. The separate Liaoning Provincial Government Scholarship doctoral call, published June 5, 2026, required application through the university system by June 15, 2026. It funds three years; the programme table lists three-to-four-year study, so funding should not be assumed to cover every year. None of these calls states an opening date or establishes next-cycle 2027 application dates.

Recorded CSC agency number; confirm it in the current CSC call: 10152

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

Reference: 2026–2027. Confirm the latest notice for the same course and route before applying.

Historical High-Level Postgraduate master's/doctoral CSC route

Submit matching information and documents in CSC Type B, agency 10152, and DLPU's system, selecting Chinese Government Scholarship. Both systems were required by March 1, 2026; paper mailing was unnecessary. Master's/doctoral applicants need a bachelor's/master's qualification and must be no older than 35/40. Chinese study requires HSK 4; a Chinese-taught degree from a Chinese university exempts HSK proof. English study accepts native/official-English status, TOEFL/IELTS or prior English-medium evidence. A supervisor acceptance letter is optional; applicants contact supervisors themselves. The award covers tuition, on-campus housing, medical insurance and living costs. Originals are checked at registration. The attached graduate checklist contains older September 2024 passport/pre-admission dates; reconfirm those dates and any pre-admission document sequence rather than treating them as current. No application fee or payment stage is specified.

Reference: 2026–2027 HLP call published February 6, 2026; closed March 1, 2026. Confirm the latest notice for the same course and route before applying.

Historical Silk Road checklist qualification; graduate template, undergraduate differences

The attached checklist lists CSC form, passport, notarized highest qualification, sealed transcripts from undergraduate study onward, language evidence, a 1000-plus-character Chinese/English study plan, two professor/associate-professor references, medical and police records, and conditional portfolio or under-18 guardian documents. Doctoral study plans require a Chinese supervisor's signature. Medical results are valid six months; police evidence is normally within six months. Its eligibility section describes master's/doctoral applicants and still prints passport validity beyond September 2024, although the main call also admits undergraduates. Confirm updated passport validity and the undergraduate-specific checklist with DLPU. The main undergraduate notice adds CSCA Professional Chinese (STEM) and Mathematics. The Chinese age limits include 25/35/40, while the English text excludes them; confirm the boundary. Graduate supervisor acceptance letters are optional in both main versions.

Reference: Attached to April 30, 2026 Silk Road call; generic graduate checklist with 2024 passport 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 Dalian Polytechnic University'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.

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.
