University application guide
How to apply to Shanghai Institute of Technology
上海应用技术大学
Shanghai, Shanghai, China
This guide brings together the application routes, published timing, submission methods, scholarship steps, documents, and source links recorded for Shanghai Institute of Technology. Requirements can differ by degree, program, teaching language, and funding route. The university’s current notice controls the application.
Application fee
The application-fee status has not been verified for the current route. SIT's 2026 international student guide (page dated 18 March 2026, read 6 October 2026 with its 17-page PDF attachment) publishes no application fee anywhere. The figures it does print are tuition and accommodation, not application charges: bachelor's programmes CNY 18,000–22,000 per year (art and design 22,000; economics, management, foreign languages and humanities 18,000; engineering, science, materials and urban-construction programmes 20,000), master's programmes CNY 25,000 per year and doctoral programmes CNY 33,000 per year, with a dormitory fee of CNY 6,000 per year for a double room with air-conditioning and a private bathroom on the Xuhui campus or CNY 6,000 per year on the Fengxian campus. Because no reviewed official page states an application-stage charge or says that applying is free, the application-fee status stays unknown rather than confirmed free.

- Application deadline
- The guide prints "Deadline — Academic Programs: 30 July" and requires a passport valid after 30 December 2026, so the deadline applies to the 2026 intake and has passed. No 2027 guide or 2027 deadline was published on the university's admissions list as at 6 October 2026.
- Application fee
- No application fee is stated anywhere in the guide. The omission is recorded as unknown, not as free.
- Tuition
- Bachelor's programmes CNY 18,000–22,000 per year depending on programme; master's programmes CNY 25,000 per year; doctoral programmes CNY 33,000 per year.
- Accommodation
- Dormitory CNY 6,000 per year for a double room with air-conditioning and a private bathroom on the Xuhui campus, and CNY 6,000 per year on the Fengxian campus; the guide notes the Fengxian room may be off campus.
- Language requirements
- Chinese-taught route: HSK 4 (190 or above) for undergraduates and HSK 5 (190 or above) for postgraduates, with a high HSKK score preferred, or an undergraduate programme taught in Chinese for postgraduate applicants. The guide states no English-taught route and no English test threshold.
- Age limits

Documents in other languages need notarised Chinese or English translations.
- Official application route
- The guide directs applicants to https://sit.at0086.cn/student and states that the scholarship is revoked for applicants who provide false documents.
- Scholarship route
- Shanghai Government Scholarship Type A and Type B and the SIT Scholarship Type A and Type B, as published in the same guide. Type A is not available to freshmen, so an entering student's published funded route here is Type B (tuition only) or the SIT scholarship. No award is guaranteed.
Published dates and unconfirmed windows
Application timing and source scope
Shanghai Institute of Technology's published international student guide is the 2026 edition, dated 18 March 2026 on the university's International Cooperation Office site. It gives one application deadline, "Academic Programs: 30 July", and requires a passport valid after 30 December 2026, so that deadline belongs to the 2026 intake and has passed. The guide states no opening date, and the university's admissions list carried no 2027 guide and no 2027 deadline as at 6 October 2026, so the next intake window is not yet published. Applications go through the university's own portal at https://sit.at0086.cn/student, and the guide states zero tolerance for counterfeit documents. The Shanghai Government Scholarship named on this profile is a separate route whose dates are set by the university's own scholarship notice, not by this admission deadline.
