Published dates and unconfirmed windows

Application timing and source scope

Kunming University of Science and Technology (昆明理工大学, KUST) publishes dated, intake-scoped windows for the 2026 intake on its School of International Education site at https://gjxy.kust.edu.cn, and every one of them has now closed as of 14 September 2026. (1) Self-funded degree applicants: the 2026年招生简章 (published 4 January 2026) gives the recurring window 申请时间:每年1月1日至5月10日 — 1 January to 10 May each year — so the 2026 intake closed on 10 May 2026; the English twin "2026 International Students Admissions" gives the same rule as "January 1st -- May 10th / every year". (2) Chinese Government Scholarship (中国政府奖学金, CSC Type B, agency code 10674, applied for at http://laihua.csc.edu.cn): 申请截止日期:2026年2月28日 / "Application Deadline: February 28th, 2026" — closed 28 February 2026. (3) Yunnan Provincial Government Scholarship (云南省政府奖学金): 申请时间:2026年1月1日-2026年2月15日 — closed 15 February 2026; the standalone 昆明理工大学2026年云南省政府奖学金招生简章 (published 5 November 2025) adds that undergraduate applicants must submit a valid CSCA transcript by the same 2026年2月15日, and late submissions are not accepted. (4) KUST Freshman Scholarship and KUST Postgraduate Scholarship (昆明理工大学新生奖学金 / 研究生奖学金): 每年1月1日-4月30日, so the 2026 round closed 30 April 2026. (5) KUST Presidential Scholarship (昆明理工大学校长奖学金): 申请时间:2026年1月1日-4月30日 — closed 30 April 2026. (6) The Silk Road project (丝绸之路项目招生简章, published 29 April 2026, CSC Type B, agency code 10674): 申请截止时间:2026年5月17日 — closed 17 May 2026. (7) Chinese-language programmes run on recurring seasonal windows rather than a single date: 春季学期入学 applications in 每年10月、11月 and 秋季学期入学 applications in 每年4月、5月, with admitted students required to register no later than 9月30日 for the autumn term or 3月30日 for the spring term. (8) The International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship (国际中文教师奖学金) publishes no date on the KUST page and defers to http://cis.chinese.cn. No 2027/2028 notice is published: the 招生及报名 listing shows eight items, the newest the 2026 RCEP 交流营 brochure dated 2 July 2026, and the 招生信息 page is empty (0/0). On the institution's own pattern — the 2026 Yunnan provincial notice was published on 5 November 2025 and the main 2026 brochure on 4 January 2026 — the next intake's notices should be expected from around November 2026.

Closes:
Not confirmed for this university and route

2027 dates unconfirmed · Autumn degree intake; program-dependent

An exact 2027 admission window is not established by the reviewed university sources. Check the prospectus for your degree and teaching language before scheduling submission.

University website — locate the current admission notice

Partial university online application channel

The official International School Online Application Link page directs applicants to kmust.at0086.cn/StuApplication/Login.aspx. This establishes the designated university system only. Consult the relevant degree or language notice for the current checklist, submission period, fee timing and review. The separately recorded 2026 degree and scholarship windows are closed; the standing portal link does not establish a 2027 application window or a CSC dual-system sequence.

Reference: 2020 official Online Application Link page; standing destination. 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 Kunming University of Science and Technology'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

    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.

See annotated portal walkthroughs

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: 10674. For Type B, match it to Kunming University of Science and Technology in CSC. Type A uses your dispatching authority's number instead.
