Published dates and unconfirmed windows
Application timing and source scope
Hefei University publishes a dated window in its Hefei University International Students Admission Guide 2026, issued 1 April 2026 by the School of International Education in Chinese and English. The guide sets a single application cut-off of 1 June for all three applicant categories - bachelor's (four-year), master's (three-year) and non-degree Chinese language students (one year) - with enrolment in September and, for bachelor's applicants, entry via the National College Entrance Examination for International Students in China. That 2026 intake has closed as of September 2026 and no 2027 guide or notice had been published when this profile was checked. The university's own President Scholarship (校长奖学金) is applied for in June each year, and shortlisted applicants are contacted by the admissions mailbox. Applications to the Chinese Government Scholarship are directed by the university to the CSC timetable on the CSC official site rather than to a university-published date, so no Hefei-specific CSC deadline is published; the university names itself a Chinese Government Scholarship training institution and a "Study in Anhui" host without publishing the Anhui provincial scholarship deadline on its scholarship pages.
Guide scope reviewed 3 October 2026. Dates apply only to the intake and route named in each notice.
