Funding route on this profile

This profile does not currently list a verified CSC university route. Review the university’s latest notice before choosing a scholarship or self-funded application.

Application fee

The application-fee status has not been verified for the current route. No application fee is published. The 2026 Guangzhou Medical University brochures for the English-medium MBBS program and for international master's and doctoral study both give a 收费标准 (fee schedule) covering only tuition, accommodation and other student-borne costs such as textbooks, board, medical expenses, utilities, internet and health insurance. Neither brochure states any application or handling charge, and neither states that applying is free, so the application fee is recorded as unknown. Note that the online application portal is hosted at gzhmu.at0086.cn.

Use the document list for your exact program. Prepare these common items, then add any scholarship-specific forms:

  • Language: the required HSK, IELTS, TOEFL or accepted alternative. A medium-of-instruction letter replaces a test only if the program allows it.

  • 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.
