Application fee

CNY 600 per person Application fee of CNY 600. HACTCM's own official brochures state it in terms as 报名费, which the university itself renders in English as 'Application fee'. The 2026 undergraduate brochure states 九、费用标准 1.报名费:人民币600元 (Fee standards, 1. Application fee: RMB 600 yuan), and its official English edition gives '9. Fees / 9.1 Application fee: CNY 600 per person'. The 2026 postgraduate brochure states 九、费用标准 1. 报名费:600元人民币. The figure is stated per person with no period qualifier and is listed separately from and before 学费, whereas tuition on the same pages is explicitly per academic year — undergraduate non-medical 16,000 CNY/year and medical 26,000 CNY/year, master's 32,000 CNY/year, doctoral 35,000 CNY/year — so the 600 CNY is an application fee and not tuition, and no tuition figure is recorded in feeAmount. It is stable across cycles: the 2025 brochure also states 1.报名费:人民币600元. The figure is plain selectable text in the notice body, not OCR and not from a PDF. Corroboration that the charge is real and payable: the 2026 undergraduate brochure states that both the 河南省政府奖学金 and the 河南中医药大学仲景国际奖学金 均资助全部学费和报名费 (both fund the full tuition and application fee), and the 2026 postgraduate brochure states that the Chinese Government Scholarship 全额资助学费、住宿费、生活费、保险费和报名费 (fully funds tuition, accommodation, living allowance, insurance and the application fee) — awards would not cover an application fee that did not exist. One exception: for short-term/group programmes the 2025 短期进修团组项目招生简章 states 短期生的学费和报名费将根据具体教学安排确定 (the tuition and application fee for short-term students will be determined according to the specific teaching arrangements), so a 报名费 exists in principle for short-term study but no number is published for it.

Published dates and unconfirmed windows

Application timing and source scope

2026 intake (2026/2027 academic year, September 2026 entry) — every dated stage found had closed as of 14 September 2026. (1) Chinese Government Scholarship 'High-Level Postgraduate' Program (中国政府奖学金'高水平研究生'项目), 2026: the official brochure published 29 December 2025 by the 国际教育学院 states 七、申请时间 申报截止时间:2026年3月10日 — deadline 10 March 2026 (the official English edition of the same notice gives 'March 10th, 2026'). The 2026 CSC review completed: a 18 May 2026 notice (关于我校2026年中国政府奖学金生评审结果的公示) set its publicity period as 2026年5月18日至2026年5月22日. That window closed on 10 March 2026. (2) Postgraduate self-funded applicants and applicants for the Henan Provincial Government Scholarship and the HUCM Zhongjing International Scholarship: the official 河南中医药大学2026年来华留学研究生招生简章, published 23 January 2026, section 七、申请时间 states 2. 自费生、河南省政府奖学金、仲景国际奖学金项目申请人:截至2026年6月20日 — deadline 20 June 2026; closed. (3) Undergraduate applicants: the official 2026年河南中医药大学本科来华留学生招生简章, published 28 November 2025, states 七、申请截止日期 2026年6月20日 — deadline 20 June 2026 (English edition: 'June 20th, 2026'); closed. (4) Henan Provincial Government Scholarship (河南省外国留学生政府奖学金): HACTCM publishes no standalone 2026 provincial-scholarship brochure; the university's dedicated provincial brochure is dated 2023 and gave the 2023 window as 2023年2月10日—2023年6月10日 (English: 'February 10th to June 10th, 2023'). For the 2026 cycle the provincial award is folded into the two general brochures above and carries the same 20 June 2026 deadline, so the 2026 provincial deadline is 20 June 2026; closed. (5) Short-term/group programmes: the 2025年河南中医药大学短期进修团组项目招生简章 states 四、申请时间 全年工作时间皆可申请 (applications accepted throughout the year during working hours), so that route is rolling and has no dated window. No 2027 intake brochure had been published on sie.hactcm.edu.cn as of 14 September 2026. The pattern is stable across cycles: the 2025 brochure gave the same structure — self-funded and other scholarships 2025年6月20日, CSC High-Level Postgraduate 2025年3月10日.

  • 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.
