This guide brings together the application routes, published timing, submission methods, scholarship steps, documents, and source links recorded for Tianjin University of Technology. Requirements can differ by degree, program, teaching language, and funding route. The university’s current notice controls the application.

Funding route on this profile

The profile includes CSC-related application guidance for Tianjin University of Technology. Type B participation, eligible programs, and deadlines must be confirmed in the current university call.

Application fee

The recorded application fee is CNY 400. Tianjin University of Technology charges a registration fee of CNY 400 (报名费), stated in the 2026-2027 international student prospectus: "已录取学生(奖学金生除外)须在学校规定时间内缴纳报名费 400 元,天津理工大学收到缴费凭证后,向被录取申请人发放《录取通知书》及《外国留学人员来华签证申请表》" - admitted students other than scholarship holders must pay a 400 yuan registration fee within the period set by the university, and once the payment receipt is received the university issues the admission notice and the JW202 visa application form. The prospectus adds that the fee is not refunded if the student abandons enrolment. The separate 费用 table in the same notice lists 报名费(新生)400元, and the 2025 prospectus states the identical CNY 400 figure, so the charge is stable across two cycles. Scholarship holders are explicitly exempt.

Published dates and unconfirmed windows

Application timing and source scope

Tianjin University of Technology published a dated notice for the 2026-2027 academic year: the 天津理工大学2026-2027学年国际学生招生简章, posted on its international students office site on 21 January 2026, sets a single application window of 20 November 2025 to 31 May 2026 for all levels - bachelor's, master's and doctoral - through the university's own platform at tjut.at0086.cn. That window has now closed. The same notice requires bachelor's applicants to sit the China Scholastic Competency Assessment (CSCA) in the subjects tied to their chosen major and to upload the score sheet with the application. Applicants who are admitted but not awarded a scholarship must pay the CNY 400 registration fee within a period set by the university, after which the admission notice and JW202 visa form are issued. The preceding cycle, the 2025 international student prospectus, ran 1 December 2024 to 30 May 2025, confirming the window moves by only a few weeks each year. No 2027-2028 prospectus had been published as of 17 September 2026, so no next-intake dates can be quoted yet.

  • 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.
