Published dates and unconfirmed windows

Application timing and source scope

Jilin University's College of International Education publishes distinct dated windows for the 2026/2027 academic year. Self-funded degree applicants — both undergraduate and graduate — must submit through the university's International Student Service System by 30 June 2026, as stated in the 2026-2027 admission notices for international undergraduate and international graduate students. For the Chinese Government Scholarship High-Level Graduate Program (Type B), the same 2026/2027 regulations set the application deadline at 1 March 2026 for enrolment in September 2026, with applicants who submitted before 1 January 2026 prioritised for the first batch of centralised review and recommendation, and the university forwarding its recommendation list to the China Scholarship Council on 15 March. For the Chinese Government Scholarship Bilateral Program (Type A), the 2026/2027 regulations govern the window but route applicants through their home-country dispatching authority rather than a single university cut-off. The International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship carries four separate 2026 deadlines by programme start: 15 April for programmes commencing in July, 15 May for September, 15 September for December, and 31 October for programmes commencing in March 2027. The 2026 Chinese Language and Culture Program required application before 31 December 2025. The self-funded 30 June 2026 cut-off and the CSC Type B 1 March 2026 cut-off have both passed for the 2026/2027 intake; the 31 October 2026 International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship deadline for March 2027 commencement remains open. Checked 2 October 2026: keep the 2026/27 degree admission windows closed and route-specific; the March 2027 International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship route remains open to 31 October 2026. No 2027/28 degree call was located.

  1. 1

    Choose your program and intake

    Check Jilin 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

    Complete the university application

    Use the official application link and complete the fields required for your route. Submit documents only through the channel and at the stage stated in the current notice. Pay a charge only when instructed; retain any submission confirmation the system provides.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    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.
