Application fee

CNY 400 per person Shandong University of Technology charges an application fee of CNY 400. Its School of International Education publishes the fee on the Tuition and Other Fees page of its English site, in the same table as tuition, under the column heading "Application Fee", with the figure "400 yuan/person" applying across the language-student, undergraduate, master's and doctoral rows. This is an application-stage charge and not tuition: the same table publishes tuition of CNY 6,000 per term or CNY 12,000 per year for language students, CNY 13,600 to 18,000 per year for undergraduate programmes and CNY 17,600 to 26,000 per year for master's and doctoral programmes, all of which are recorded under tuition instead. The same table also publishes accommodation at CNY 1,400 per year for a four-bed room and insurance at CNY 800 per year, recorded under other costs. The page states the application fee as a single flat figure per person, so it is recorded as a feeAmount of 400.

Published dates and unconfirmed windows

Application timing and source scope

Shandong University of Technology (山东理工大学) publishes its international application windows through the School of International Education's English site (sie-en.sdut.edu.cn), on the Application Time page under How to Apply. The last date the page records is 15 June for the autumn semester and 15 December of the previous year for the spring semester, with non-degree language students opening 1 October to 15 December for the spring semester and 1 April to 15 June for the autumn semester, and degree-programme applicants opening 1 April to 15 June. The Chinese-language site (sie.sdut.edu.cn) carries a matching section but its admissions sub-pages are published empty, and the site's own notice and news listings carry no dated CSC, Shandong provincial government or university-scholarship deadline; the most recent notices concern teaching and student affairs rather than admissions. The site states neither an academic year nor an intake against these dates, so the window is recorded as typical for the autumn intake rather than verified, and the equivalent dates for the 2026 and 2027 intakes cannot be sourced from a dated notice. The university's Chinese Government Scholarship review for 2026 concluded on 28 May 2026, which shows that the university does run the CSC process, but no CSC application cut-off date is published on its international student pages.

Guide scope reviewed 3 October 2026. Dates apply only to the intake and route named in each notice.

University website — locate the current admission notice

International direct admission

Register with your own email in SDUT’s portal and upload the required materials. Check feedback regularly, correct rejected documents and re-upload them. Accepted applicants receive email notification, followed by mailed JW202 and admission letter. Register according to the admission instructions. This page does not specify an interview or payment step; the fee table separately lists CNY 400. Its adjacent calendar is recurring and labels the April 1–June 15 degree period Spring Semester, so verify the intake rather than silently correcting that wording.

Reference: Undated standing procedure; confirm current cycle. Confirm the latest notice for the same course and route before applying.

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.
