How to apply to Henan Normal University

河南师范大学

Xinxiang, Henan, China

This guide brings together the application routes, published timing, submission methods, scholarship steps, documents, and source links recorded for Henan Normal University. Requirements can differ by degree, program, teaching language, and funding route. The university’s current notice controls the application.

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 for international students is published by Henan Normal University, and no official page states that no application fee is charged. The current 河南师范大学2024年国际学生招生简章 contains no fee line at all — a full-text search of it for 费 returns zero matches — and its admissions section covers only where to email documents and how admission and registration work. The only fees the university publishes anywhere are tuition and other non-application charges, all of which are rejected here as application fees: the 2021 汉语国际教育专项计划 brochures state '学费:23000/年' (master's) and '学费:25000/年' (doctoral) — these are annual tuition, as the brochures' own English text confirms ('Tuition fee: 23000 RMB /academic year') — together with 住宿费 双人间 5400元/人/年 and 其他费用 described as 体检费 (about 600元), 签证申请 (about 800元), 保险 (about 800元), 交通费 and 书本费. None of those is a 报名费 or 申请费. Per the brief, silence is recorded as unknown, never as free.

Institution profile
Henan Normal University admits international students at language, undergraduate, master's and doctoral level through its College of International Education, established in September 2008.
Language requirement
The Chinese original of the official 2024 guide requires master’s and doctoral applicants to have new HSK Level 5 with a score of at least 180 for Chinese-taught study. The same page’s English translation says HSK4; this conflict should be confirmed with admissions before applying.
Visa and residence permit
Every applicant must submit a notarised highest-diploma certificate and transcript, passport front page and visa, the Foreigner Physical Examination Record Form with blood examination report, a certificate of no criminal record, the Henan Normal University international student application form and a study plan; master's and doctoral applicants also need two recommendation letters.
Programmes
The university runs three Ministry of Education-approved Sino-foreign cooperative undergraduate programmes - electrical engineering and automation with the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, physical education with the Belarusian State University of Physical Culture, and environmental engineering with the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay.
Programmes
The College of International Education has taught international students from Russia, Belarus, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Cambodia, France, Germany, Poland, the United States, South Korea and Japan, and has run 21 summer programmes for the University of Hamburg.
Tuition notes
No tuition figure for international students is published on htu.edu.cn. The English Admission Guideline gives study durations (language study 1 year or above, bachelor's 4 years, master's 3 years, doctoral 4 years) and language requirements but no fees.

Published dates and unconfirmed windows

Application timing and source scope

No current dated Henan Normal University application window was verified in the reviewed sources. The 2024 official guide describes email submission, interview by separate notice and registration on the individual admission letter; the 2021 May 10 deadline belongs to a historical special-program cycle only. Do not project those dates as current. The 2024 Chinese guide states HSK Level 5 with at least 180 for master’s and doctoral applicants in Chinese-taught study; its English translation says HSK4, so applicants should confirm the conflicting translation with the university. English-taught graduate language thresholds are IELTS 6.5 or new TOEFL 86 per the 2024 guide; program-specific applicability should be confirmed. No current fees, scholarship call or agency number were verified.

Guide scope reviewed 3 October 2026. Dates apply only to the intake and route named in each notice.

    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.

    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.

How to fill the university application

Follow the submission method in your programme's notice. The steps below apply when it requires an online form; email and paper applications follow their separate source-linked instructions above.

  1. Open the university link for your degree level. On an admissions website, find the international-student application entry, then register or sign in. Button names vary between systems.
  2. Choose the correct entry year, degree, teaching language and program. Read its requirements before selecting your funding option.
  3. Enter personal information as it appears in your passport. List education and employment dates accurately, and enter a reliable email address.
  4. Complete the study plan and referee fields. Upload each document to its matching slot; enter a CSC application number only if your route asks for one.
