Funding route on this profile

The profile includes CSC-related application guidance for Dongbei University of Finance and Economics. Type B participation, eligible programs, and deadlines must be confirmed in the current university call.

Agency number recorded: 10173. Confirm it in the current Type B notice before submitting.

Application fee

CNY 580–1,000, depending on program and teaching language DUFE’s standing fee table lists CNY 580 for short Chinese-language courses, CNY 680 for long courses, CNY 800 for Chinese-taught degree/foundation study and CNY 1,000 for English-taught degree/foundation study. Its currently linked fee image is a 2019-upload asset; the undated brochure also shows 580/680/800/1,000 by programme. These are recorded standing rates, not a dated 2027 tariff. The English How to Apply page instructs online submission, then payment; processing begins after receipt. It explicitly says application documents and the application fee will not be returned. The payment page offers cash at SIE, online payment and USD/RMB university bank transfer. Confirm current programme payment instructions before remitting. The 2026/27 CSC and 2026 ICLTS calls do not establish an application-fee exemption.

Tuition per year
Recorded standing tuition in CNY: Chinese language 7,000/3 months,8,800/semester,16,500/academic year; short 1/2/3/4 weeks 1,600/2,200/2,600/3,000. Annual Chinese-taught bachelor’s Chinese Language 19,000 and other majors 21,000; master’s 25,000; combined PhD/MBA row 38,000. The 2019-upload fee image lists English bachelor’s 35,000, master’s 38,000 and doctoral 48,000. The undated official brochure instead lists English master’s 35,000 on PDFpages 6/13 and does not include an English bachelor’s row in its final tariff table. Confirm the applicable master’s rate with DUFE. Neither source establishes a 2027 tariff; MPAcc is not printed in the combined PhD/MBA row.
Tuition notes
The standing fee image is linked from the official English Fees page and has a 2019 upload path. It lists Chinese foundation 12,500/semester and 25,000/year; English foundation 15,000/16 weeks and 8,000/8 weeks. The undated official brochure linked by the Chinese How to Apply page corroborates Chinese foundation 25,000/year but does not show the English foundation rows. Its metadata was modified 20 May 2025, not a printed admission cycle. These sources are not confirmed-current 2027 rates.
Accommodation
The undated official brochure (PDFpage 13) lists Bilin single 1,200/month/person or 70/day/person, double 1,200/month/person or 60/day/person, suite 3,500/month/suite or 180/day/suite; Chongde single 1,800/month/person or 85/day/person and double 1,100/month/person or 55/day/person. It estimates nearby 50–150 m² apartments at 1,000–3,500/month; the older English Dormitory page instead says 1,500–4,000 without an explicit period in its sentence. The 2019 housing image additionally lists Qiushi rooms. The prior Chinese 2023 image was not freshly recovered. Confirm current availability and charges; these are standing/historical sources, not 2027 quotations.
Medical insurance
The standing DUFE fee image and undated brochure PDFpage 13 list short Chinese-course insurance CNY 100 for the 1–4 week block, not per week; long Chinese courses CNY 300 for 3 months or one semester and 500 per academic year; Chinese foundation 300/semester or 500/year; Chinese/English degree study 500 for the annual rows. The older image lists English foundation insurance 500. These source-scoped insurance figures are not verified 2027 rates.
Entry requirements
CSC 2026/27: HSK5+ for Chinese study; IELTS/TOEFL for English study with native-English waiver; bachelor’s/master’s qualification for master’s/doctoral entry, no older than 35/40, and two professor/associate-professor letters. The separately recorded Business Administration brochure thresholds were not freshly reverified here and do not replace this call. The 2026 ICLTS notice requires HSK valid two years and ages 16–35 (in-service teachers up to 45). Its Chinese text measures age on 1 September 2026, but its English text says 1 September 2025: confirm the intended reference year with DUFE. Course-specific HSK/HSKK thresholds differ by award. The Chinese notice says semester/year applicants normally cannot have received similar funding within three years; the English translation is categorical.
Self-funded application cutoff
Current degree pages publish a June 30 cutoff but do not state its academic-year scope or an opening date. Confirm the year and current cycle with DUFE; do not project it to 2027.

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.
