Published dates and unconfirmed windows
Application timing and source scope
The 2026 Chemistry master's brochure, published May 6, 2026, closed June 15, 2026; no opening day is stated. This is a programme-specific direct-admission deadline. No dated 2027 degree or CSC window is confirmed. The reviewed official international-admission materials contain historical 2022 scholarship and programme dates. The September 2022 International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship cutoff is unresolved because the recorded Chinese and English deadline evidence conflicts between 5 May and 15 May; both dates are long closed. The same guide listed 15 November 2022 for March 2023 entry and opened portal registration on 1 March 2022. The Plant Science master’s brochure listed 30 June 2022, also closed. No dated 2027 university-wide window is confirmed; the 2026 Chemistry cutoff is programme-specific. Ask the International Education College for a current dated notice before applying.
Guide scope reviewed 3 October 2026. Dates apply only to the intake and route named in each notice.
