Guangzhou, Guangdong, China
This guide brings together the application routes, published timing, submission methods, scholarship steps, documents, and source links recorded for Guangdong University of Foreign Studies. Requirements can differ by degree, program, teaching language, and funding route. The university’s current notice controls the application.
The profile includes CSC-related application guidance for Guangdong University of Foreign Studies. Type B participation, eligible programs, and deadlines must be confirmed in the current university call.
Agency number recorded: 11910. Confirm it in the current Type B notice before submitting.
CNY 500 The 2026 fall degree notice’s tuition appendix lists a one-time CNY 500 application fee for new students, including the MBA tracks. It is non-refundable once paid; the notice does not state a separate application-submission payment stage. The same appendix lists MBA tuition of CNY 54,000/year for the two-year full-time track and CNY 36,000/year for the three-year part-time track. Its approved pre-semester tuition withdrawal rule permits an 80% tuition refund; illegal conduct prevents refunds. Older non-degree programme pages record registration fees of CNY 300–500, including CNY 300 for the four-week intensive course. Those figures do not establish the charge for a different route. The 2024 prospectus explicitly lists application-fee exemptions for CSC and International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship recipients; the reviewed 2026 ICLTS notices do not restate an application-fee rule. Confirm current award-specific payment instructions. Source: https://iie.gdufs.edu.cn/info/1099/5488.htm

Published dates and unconfirmed windows
2026/2027 intake (Fall 2026 degree programs): online registration 1 March 2026 to 20 June 2026, per the Institute of International Education (留学生教育学院) notice published 23 March 2026. The preceding Spring 2026 intake ran 30 September 2025 to 26 December 2025. The 2026 GDUFS International Student Scholarship and the 2026 Guangdong Province Government International Student Scholarship both closed on 5 July 2026, per notices published 20 and 21 April 2026. The 2024 prospectus describes CSC Type A embassy applications and Type B postgraduate applications using agency 11910, with an annual December–March range; that historical rule does not establish exact 2026 or 2027 CSC opening or closing dates. The March–June 2026 window above is general degree-student registration. A separate 2026 International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship route accepts one-semester applicants entering March 2027; its Beijing-time application deadline is 31 October 2026. The rule page was published 4 March 2026 and says applications are accepted 'from now'; it does not state a separate calendar opening date. This five-month award is for the scholarship's specified language-related routes and has its own HSK 3/HSKK and interview conditions; it is not the Fall 2026 degree intake. No 2027/2028 full-degree or CSC Type B deadline was found in the current official admissions listing.
