2026 intake, prospective international graduate (master's and doctoral) applicants to Peking University applying for the Chinese Government Scholarship Advanced Graduate Program, the Peking University Scholarship and the Beijing Government Scholarship · recorded source check: September 17, 2026
Published dates and unconfirmed windows
The recorded review on 1 October 2026 did not confirm a 2027 notice for PKU’s ordinary international undergraduate or graduate routes; the specific 2026 application windows below have closed. The most recent published windows are the 2026 cycle: graduate (master's and doctoral) self-funded applications ran from 20 October 2025 to 23 December 2025 Beijing time; the undergraduate entrance-examination route ran from 12:00 on 1 January 2026 to 23:59 on 28 February 2026; the undergraduate no-written-examination route ran in two batches, 19 December 2025 to 28 February 2026 and 12 June 2026 to 10 July 2026; and the Boya Overseas Talent Plan ran from 19 December 2025 to 28 February 2026. All of those have closed. The 2026 graduate scholarship notice published on 12 January 2026 set the Peking University online scholarship application (covering the Chinese Government Scholarship High-Level Graduate Program, the Peking University International Student Scholarship and the Beijing Government Scholarship in one application) at 09:00 Beijing time on 9 March 2026 and the China Scholarship Council application at 24:00 Beijing time on 17 March 2026; that round has closed. The Yenching Academy official site explicitly lists the China Studies master's 2027 intake as open, with applications due by 09:00 Beijing time on 30 November 2026. This is a separate programme from PKU's ordinary graduate admissions. The university's own 招生简介 page describes the general pattern as applications in autumn and winter each year with second-round examinations in the following spring; that is a pattern statement, not a published 2027 window. The CNY 800 application fee is supported only for the cited prior-cycle routes and should be reconfirmed for the selected programme. The conflicting accommodation figures cannot be reconciled by the current general notice; no single housing price is confirmed here. Undergraduate and general graduate tuition for the 2026/2027 cycle is stated only as 待批复后另行通知 (pending approval, to be announced separately); the older published per-year baseline on the 学费及相关规定 page dates from 26 December 2019. Peking University's institution code for the CSC Type B High-Level Graduate Program is 10001, printed in the university's own 12 January 2026 scholarship notice. The CNY 800 application fee is documented for specified prior-cycle routes and should be reconfirmed for the selected programme. The general notice does not resolve the accommodation-price difference; no single housing rate is confirmed here.

Read the university's procedureCheck Peking 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 instructionsUse 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.
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.
Use the application type, agency number, degree level, and submission order stated in the current call. A university-hosted place may use Type B; an embassy-nominated place may use Type A. Do not select a route or reuse a prior-cycle code unless the current notice confirms it.
Open CSC portalCheck 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.

Use the document list for your exact program. Prepare these common items, then add any scholarship-specific forms:
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 templatesFollow 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.
University agency number on record: 10001. For Type B, match it to Peking University in CSC. Type A uses your dispatching authority's number instead.
