Published dates and unconfirmed windows

Application timing and source scope

Henan University publishes dated windows for the 2026/2027 intake. Its Chinese Government Scholarship "High-Level Postgraduate" Program (2026/2027) closed on 16 January 2026 - a notably early cut-off - with applications filed in the CSC system as Type B under accepting-agency number 10475 and duplicated in the university's own online system; that notice was published on 14 November 2025 and covers master's study of three years and doctoral study of four years with enrolment in September 2026. For self-funded study, the 2025-2026 international undergraduate brochure set the application cut-off at 1 June 2025, with electronic admission notices and JW202 forms issued in early July for September enrolment, the source does not establish any later undergraduate opening or closing date. The International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship runs fixed annual rounds - 15 April for July entry, 15 May for September entry, 15 September for December entry and 31 October for March entry. The Silk Road Chinese Government Scholarship notice for 2025-2026 was published on 6 December 2024. The dated 2026/2027 CSC postgraduate deadline has passed. The yearless ICLTS rules above do not establish that every route is closed. The undergraduate date formerly described as an expected early-June 2026 window is not supported by a current notice. The last located self-funded undergraduate brochure is for 2025/26; no 2026/27 or 2027/28 undergraduate opening/closing date was verified. The 2026/27 CSC postgraduate dates above are closed and apply only to that graduate route.

Master’s/doctoral CSC admission

Register and submit accurate information/documents in both CSC TypeB (agency10475) and Henan University’s system. The notice requires both applications but does not fix their order. Complete files receive priority in review. The college checks eligibility, then departments assess academic/language ability and may arrange remote interviews or written tests. Henan recommends applicants to CSC, whose expert review determines final awards; the college notifies results. The deadline was January16,2026. Applicants already applying to another university through CSC are told not to duplicate an application to Henan.

Reference: 2026–2027 High-Level Graduate; closed January16,2026. 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 Henan 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

    Follow the portal order in the Type B notice

    If it asks for the CSC form in the university system, finish CSC first and upload that form. If it asks for university admission or recommendation first, complete that stage before CSC. Where both systems are required, submit to both; use a CSC-only process only when the official notice explicitly specifies it.

    Read official admission instructions
  4. 4

    Complete the required application systems

    Use the university and CSC instructions below in the order specified by your program. Keep names, degree, major and teaching language consistent across the forms. Check submission status in every required system.

  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.

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.

  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.

  3. Select the degree category, teaching language, major and study period specified by the eligible program. Keep these consistent with your university application.
  4. Upload the requested documents, review all fields and submit. Download the completed application form; sign and upload it to the university or dispatching-authority system when instructed.
  5. Save your application number and a copy of the submitted form. If you withdraw to edit, submit again before the deadline and tell the receiving office if it already began reviewing your application.

University agency number on record: 10475. For Type B, match it to Henan University in CSC. Type A uses your dispatching authority's number instead.
