Funding route on this profile

The profile includes CSC-related application guidance for Northwest A&F University. Type B participation, eligible programs, and deadlines must be confirmed in the current university call.

Agency number recorded: 10712. Confirm it in the current Type B notice before submitting.

Application fee

CNY 400 Northwest A&F University's 2026 master's admission guide states under 三、申请费、学费 (III. Application fee and tuition) that 申请费：人民币400元。无论录取与否，不予退还。 — the application fee is CNY 400 and is not refunded whether or not the applicant is admitted. The 2026 CSC Type B notice gives the same figure in the form 第四步：缴纳报名费400元人民币（或75美元）— pay a registration fee of CNY 400 (or USD 75) — charged after passing preliminary qualification review. The guides list tuition separately as a distinct item below the application fee, so the CNY 400 is the application fee and not tuition.

  • Language: the required HSK, IELTS, TOEFL or accepted alternative. A medium-of-instruction letter replaces a test only if the program allows it.

  • 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.
