Published dates and unconfirmed windows
Donghua University (东华大学) publishes a single dated timeline for the 2026 intake, '2026学历项目 申请录取流程及时间节点', issued by its International Education Center on iec.dhu.edu.cn and dated 10 November 2025; every stage below is scoped to that intake and all times are Beijing time (GMT+8) as the notice states. The online application system at admissions.dhu.edu.cn opened at 00:00 on 1 December 2025 for master's and doctoral programmes, and at 00:00 on 1 March 2026 for bachelor's programmes. The first-stage entrance-scholarship deadline was 31 January 2026, the date by which an application had to be submitted (status '已提交') to be considered for the Chinese Government Scholarship Category Type B High Level Postgraduate Programme; the master's and doctoral fee pages likewise give 1月31日（高水平研究生奖学金项目）as the CGS-B deadline. The second-stage entrance-scholarship deadline was 15 April 2026, when all scholarship channels for bachelor's, master's and doctoral applicants closed at 18:00. The self-funded application channel for all three levels closed at 18:00 on 31 May 2026. Pre-admission notices for scholarship-supported postgraduate applicants were issued around 20 March 2026; the school's review takes 3-4 weeks and longer over the winter vacation; first-round admission results including scholarship outcomes were emailed in May 2026 and second-round results in June 2026; art examinations or interviews for design-programme applicants were held in June 2026; electronic admission materials including the Admission Notice and JW form were emailed in July 2026, and self-funded freshmen and some scholarship freshmen applied online for on-campus accommodation in July 2026; the enrolment guide was emailed at the end of August 2026 and registration took place at the end of August to early September 2026. The Shanghai Municipal Government Scholarship tables on the same pages give 4月15日 (15 April) as their deadline, and the Chinese Government Scholarship Category Type A route is submitted through the applicant's own country's dispatching authority, whose deadline the notice says is governed by that authority's own publication (以所在国有关派遣部门公布为准). All of these 2026-intake windows have closed as of 29 September 2026. No 2027 intake guide or timeline has been posted: the International Education Center's notice board (iec.dhu.edu.cn/degreenotice/list.htm) shows no admissions notice newer than the 10 November 2025 timeline, its newest entries being 2026 scholarship annual-review and outstanding-graduate publication notices dated 21 May and 15 June 2026. A separate 2027 spring Chinese-language non-degree course has a published deadline of 31 December 2026; its official page does not state an opening date. This does not establish a 2027 autumn degree window. Source: https://iec.dhu.edu.cn/learnchinese/list.htm

Read the university's procedureCheck Donghua 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 instructionsUse 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.
Use the application type, agency number, degree level, and submission order stated in the current call. A university-hosted place may use Type B; an embassy-nominated place may use Type A. Do not select a route or reuse a prior-cycle code unless the current notice confirms it.
Open CSC portalUse the official application link and complete the fields required for your route. Submit documents only through the channel and at the stage stated in the current notice. Pay a charge only when instructed; retain any submission confirmation the system provides.
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.

Use the document list for your exact program. Prepare these common items, then add any scholarship-specific forms:
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.
Application templatesFollow the submission method in your programme's notice. The steps below apply when it requires an online form; email and paper applications follow their separate source-linked instructions above.
Donghua's master's guide specifies PDF documents except the ID photo. A returned application needs corrections and a fresh Submit action; read the Remarks field before resubmitting.
University agency number on record: 10255. For Type B, match it to Donghua University in CSC. Type A uses your dispatching authority's number instead.
