Application fee

CNY 400 Hohai University's official fee-standards notice '外国留学生收费项目分类及标准' (Classification and Standards of Fee Items for International Students), published on its international-students site hhis.hhu.edu.cn on 9 August 2026, lists 报名费 / Application Fee for Degree-seeking International Students at 400 per student (400/生). The 2026/2027 CSC High-Level Postgraduate Program guide (published 30 October 2025) states the same figure in its application-flow section: applicants must register on the university's online application system, upload materials '并缴纳申请费400元，申请费不予退还' — pay an application fee of 400 yuan, which is non-refundable — and applications with incomplete materials or without a successful fee payment will not be processed. This is an application charge, not tuition; tuition is recorded separately in the tuition object.

Published dates and unconfirmed windows

Application timing and source scope

Hohai University's most recent dated international-admission window is the 2026/2027 academic year Chinese Government Scholarship 'High-Level Postgraduate Program' (Type B), published by its College of International Education on 30 October 2025, which states the application period as 2025年11月10日 至 12月30日（北京时间） — 10 November 2025 to 30 December 2025 Beijing time — with these internal milestones: applications and the CNY 400 fee by 30 December 2025; the College of International Education's initial review by 9 January 2026; school-level expert review by 16 January 2026; online interview by 13 March 2026; pre-admission notices by 20 March 2026; and the CSC portal application (type B, institution code 10294) by 27 March 2026. A second batch, published 30 October 2025, ran from 1 January 2026 to 15 February 2026 and repeated the same later milestones. Both windows have closed. Hohai's general self-funded admission guide for the 2026 intake, '2026年河海大学外国留学生招生简章', was published on 28 November 2025; its body is a PDF attachment that could not be fully retrieved from this machine (see unverified), so no dated self-funded window from it is recorded here. A 2026 'Silk Road' Chinese Government Scholarship programme notice was posted on hhis.hhu.edu.cn on 30 April 2026 as an image-only article carrying no extractable dates. Hohai's scholarship-evaluation notices page (hhis.hhu.edu.cn/14618/list.htm) lists no 2026 scholarship-evaluation notice and no 2027/2028 admissions notice: the newest entries there are a 2025 Nanjing Municipal Government Scholarship evaluation notice dated 14 October 2025 and a 2025 undergraduate academic-level test notice dated 25 September 2025. No 2027/2028 Hohai admissions or CSC notice has been published as of 29 September 2026, so no next-intake window is dated.

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.

Application templates
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.
  5. Preview the whole application. Follow the fee instructions, submit the form and check that the system acknowledges submission. Saving a draft does not submit it.
How to fill the CSC application
  1. Open the CSC portal below and register or sign in. Complete your personal details before starting the scholarship application.
  2. Select the application category specified in the current scholarship call. Type A commonly uses a dispatching authority and Type B a university; confirm the exact category and agency number in that route's current notice and check the receiving institution displayed by the system.
  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: 10294. For Type B, match it to Hohai University in CSC. Type A uses your dispatching authority's number instead.
