How to apply to Putian University
莆田学院
Putian, Fujian, China
This guide brings together the application routes, published timing, submission methods, scholarship steps, documents, and source links recorded for Putian University. Requirements can differ by degree, program, teaching language, and funding route. The university’s current notice controls the application.
Application fee
CNY 400 (registration/enrolment fee, paid at the time of application) The 2026 brochure lists a 报名注册费 (registration and enrolment fee) of RMB 400, payable at the time of application ('报名注册费：400元（报名时交纳）'). The brochure does not state whether this fee is refundable. It is separate from tuition, which the brochure says is paid after arrival at the university ('学费及住宿费等相关费用到校后支付'), and is listed in a different section from the 学费 (tuition) and 住宿费 (accommodation) tables. The university's own self-established scholarship is described as covering this same 400 Yuan registration fee in its top (full-scholarship) tier.

Published dates and unconfirmed windows
Application timing and source scope
Putian University's 2026 来华留学生招生简章, published 2 April 2026, states a single combined application cut-off of 15 May for both language (non-degree) students and bachelor's degree students — '语言生、本科生：5月15日前提交申请'. The notice is scoped throughout to a September 2026 start, requires a passport valid beyond 30 December 2026, and requires a physical examination record and a police clearance certificate both dated after 1 March 2026, so the cut-off applies to the 2026 intake. The notice explicitly adds that applicants submitting after the deadline must first contact the admissions teacher and may only submit materials once approved ('如果您在报名截止时间后申请，请先联系招生老师，经同意后方可提交相关材料'). That 15 May 2026 window has now closed as of 17 September 2026. No notice for a 2027 intake and no separately dated university-scholarship or CSC deadline is published on the site; the scholarship section describes a yearly selection (每年评选一次) tied to the admission decision rather than to an independent date. The university is not a CSC host institution, so no CSC deadline applies.
Guide scope reviewed 3 October 2026. Dates apply only to the intake and route named in each notice.
