Application fee

CNY 400 (CNY 260 for Chinese Language Training) Harbin Engineering University publishes an application fee of CNY 400, non-refundable. The 2026 HEU International Admission Handbook (2026年哈尔滨工程大学国际学生招生简章, published 15 October 2025) lists an application fee of RMB 400 CNY and states it is 'Non-refundable'; the same RMB 400 (Non-refundable) figure appears for undergraduate, postgraduate/PhD and general/senior visiting scholar applicants, while Chinese-language training applicants pay RMB 260 CNY, also stated as non-refundable. The application-fee payment receipt is listed as a required application document. The figure is separated from the handbook's tuition schedule (Chinese-taught bachelor CNY 17,000; master CNY 27,000; doctoral CNY 35,000 per year; English-taught master CNY 33,000 and doctoral CNY 42,000 per year), so CNY 400 is an application fee and not tuition, and it is well below the CNY 2,000 ceiling.

Application timing and source scope

(1) Undergraduate 2026 intake (2026年哈尔滨工程大学国际学生本科生招生简章, published 22 October 2025): four dated batches — Batch 1 November 1, 2025 to January 15, 2026; Batch 2 January 16, 2026 to February 15, 2026; Batch 3 February 16, 2026 to March 15, 2026; Batch 4 March 16, 2026 to May 15, 2026. All four closed, the last on 15 May 2026. (2) Postgraduate and doctoral 2026 intake (2026年哈尔滨工程大学国际学生研究生招生简章, published 22 October 2025): Batch 1 November 1, 2025 to January 15, 2026; Batch 2 January 16, 2026 to February 28, 2026; Batch 3 March 1, 2026 to March 31, 2026; Batch 4 April 1, 2026 to April 30, 2026. All closed, the last on 30 April 2026. (3) Silk Road Scholarship 2026-2027 (哈尔滨工程大学2026-2027学年丝绸之路奖学金招生简章, published 30 April 2026, verified again in this batch): the official PDF states 申请人应在2026年5月20日前向哈尔滨工程大学提出申请 — the application closed 20 May 2026. The same PDF dates the rest of the cycle: HEU sends the 中国留学录取通知书 and the JW201 form to the dispatching authority or the applicant before 31 July 2026, and 在9月30日之前不能注册的申请人将被视为放弃奖学金 — an applicant unable to register by 30 September 2026 is treated as having given up the scholarship. That 30 September 2026 registration deadline is the only date in HEU's published cycle that is still in the future as of 14 September 2026, and it applies only to applicants already awarded the 2026-2027 Silk Road Scholarship. (4) Chinese Government Scholarship Atomic Energy Program 2026 (2026年哈尔滨工程大学中国政府原子能奖学金项目招生简章, published 10 October 2025) and the Eurasian Countries International Student Scholarship (欧亚国家留学生奖学金项目招生简章, published 23 December 2025) are both 2026-cycle documents whose application windows have closed.

Read the university's procedure
  1. 1

    Choose your program and intake

    Check Harbin Engineering 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

    Complete the university application

    Use 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.

  4. 4

    Review your offer and costs

    Check tuition, accommodation, insurance, payment deadlines and any financial-guarantee requirement. Accept the offer through the university's stated process. A CSC application is not part of a purely self-funded route.

  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.
