This guide brings together the application routes, published timing, submission methods, scholarship steps, documents, and source links recorded for Northwest University of Political Science and Law. Requirements can differ by degree, program, teaching language, and funding route. The university’s current notice controls the application.
Application fee
The recorded application fee is CNY 500. Northwest University of Political Science and Law publishes a 报名费 (application fee) of CNY 500, payable after the applicant passes preliminary review, in section 十（六）of its 2026 autumn-semester international student prospectus. That figure is the application fee and not tuition: the same section publishes tuition separately as CNY 14,000 per year for undergraduates, CNY 18,000 per year for master's students, CNY 26,000 per year for doctoral students and CNY 13,000 per year for Chinese-language students. The prospectus also publishes accommodation at CNY 750 per semester, insurance at CNY 400 per semester, residence-permit processing at CNY 400 per year and a medical re-check fee of about CNY 300; none of those is the application fee and none is recorded in the fee amount.

Published dates and unconfirmed windows
Application timing and source scope
Northwest University of Political Science and Law published its 2026 autumn-semester international student prospectus (西北政法大学2026年秋季学期来华留学生招生简章) on the International Exchange and Cooperation Office site. The notice's section 六、申请时间 states 即日起至2026年6月20日止 — from publication until 20 June 2026 — and that application window has closed. Section 九、入学时间 schedules registration for early September 2026; it does not independently establish completion of every admission route. The fetched page displays no publication date, so the notice is dated only by its 2026 autumn-semester scope and its 20 June 2026 deadline; no 2027 window is asserted and none is inferred from the 2026 dates. Northwest University of Political Science and Law appears in the CSC Chinese host-university directory. Its 2026 prospectus does not establish a current Type B offer or agency code, so check the current CSC program notice before applying. The notice establishes an international-student scholarship system with four named routes — the Xi'an Central Asia Five Countries international student education and training programme special scholarship, the Xi'an Belt and Road foreign student scholarship, the Shaanxi Province Sanqin Foreign Student Scholarship, and the university's own Belt and Road international student scholarship — and states that detailed conditions and funding amounts may be obtained from the International Education College. It does not publish precise stipend amounts, quotas or selection criteria, so no award is described as fully funded. The notice says the Central Asia Five Countries route waives tuition and accommodation and reimburses listed entry/permit costs with annual living support; Xi’an Belt and Road includes a 10-month monthly stipend; Sanqin provides one-time living support from year two; and the university Belt and Road route includes a basic award plus living subsidy from year two. The cited 2026 prospectus does not state a dated scholarship deadline. Assessment combines a materials review with a written test and interview, and results are notified by 1 August at the latest.
Guide scope reviewed 3 October 2026. Dates apply only to the intake and route named in each notice.
