Application timing and source scope

Hebei Normal University publishes its dated windows on the School of International Culture and Exchange site (cice.hebtu.edu.cn). For the Chinese Government Scholarship High Level Graduate Program (高水平研究生项目) the university's own 河北师范大学2026/2027学年中国政府奖学金“高水平研究生”项目申请指引, published 27 November 2025, states 六、申请起止时间 as 公告发出之日起至2026年2月28日 (from the date the announcement was issued to 28 February 2026), with 逾期不再接受申请 (late applications not accepted) — that window is for the 2026/2027 academic year and closed on 28 February 2026. The same notice states that paper 录取通知书 and 外国留学人员来华签证申请表 are mailed in July-August 2026. For self-funded degree study the university's 学历学位项目 page states 入学时间:每年9月 (entry each September) and 报名时间:每年5月30日前 (apply by 30 May each year); the most recent such closing date, 30 May 2026, has passed as of 28 September 2026, and this page states an annual pattern rather than a specific intake year. No separate 2027/2028 academic-year notice was found on the university's own domain as of 28 September 2026. The published self-funded degree and 2026/2027 CSC windows have closed as of 28 September 2026.

It is not a self-funded degree deadline. Source: https://cice.hebtu.edu.cn/a/2026/03/16/8D56D4CF59854B50B0E889C70B51F37D.html

University website — locate the current admission notice

University self-funded application

Apply online at Hebei Normal’s linked platform and submit documents. After initial review, attend the interview invited by email. Successful interview leads to a payment notice; follow that notice before admission and visa documents are issued. Notify the university of arrival details and register promptly. The standing document list requires a clear passport scan, highest degree/transcripts, medical and police records within six months, and personal bank proof sufficient for expenses of at least US$10,000 per year. Bachelor’s applicants add CSCA scores; under-18 applicants add a China guardian undertaking notarized by the Chinese embassy. Other-language documents need notarized Chinese/English translations. These standing pages do not establish a2027 application window or CSC submission order.

Reference: Undated standing instructions, checked October2,2026. Confirm the latest notice for the same course and route before applying.

Read the university's procedure
  1. 1

    Choose your program and intake

    Check Hebei Normal 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.

See annotated portal walkthroughs

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.
