文山学院

Wenshan, Yunnan, China

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

Funding route on this profile

This profile does not currently list a verified CSC university route. Review the university’s latest notice before choosing a scholarship or self-funded application.

Application fee

The application-fee status has not been verified for the current route. No application fee is published by Wenshan University. The Admission Brochure for International Students - Spring Semester 2026 sets out its own fee section listing only tuition at CNY 3,400 per semester, accommodation at CNY 400 per semester, a residence permit fee of CNY 400 per half-year, a health check-up fee of approximately CNY 300 per time and an insurance premium of approximately CNY 300 per half-year, under a heading that says other related fees are subject to actual costs. It states no application, registration or assessment charge, and the application method it gives is simply to send materials by email to wenshanuniversity@163.com. The earlier Wenshan University Admissions for International Students 2025 notice likewise lists only tuition at CNY 6,800 per person per academic year and accommodation at CNY 800 per person per academic year and requires students to buy the Comprehensive Insurance Plan on arrival, with no application-stage fee. The Chinese-language sections of wsu.edu.cn, including the fee, asset and charging disclosure page, publish no international fee schedule at all. Because no page states a charge and none states that applying is free, this is recorded as unknown rather than confirmed-free, in line with the rule that a page omitting a fee must never be read as a waiver.

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.
