Funding route on this profile

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

Application fee

The recorded application fee is CNY 800. The application fee for a degree applicant is CNY 800 and for a non-degree applicant CNY 400, stated in the university's own international FAQ: "Yes. The application fee for degree applicator is CNY 800, the application fee for non-degree applicator is CNY 400." The same figures appear in the university's Fee Structure notice on its international student platform (Application fee: Degree program RMB 800 per person; None-degree program RMB 400 per person), which is published as a table image, so those figures were read by OCR. Payment is made through the application system at study.wzu.edu.cn. This is the application fee only; annual tuition is recorded under tuition.

Intake
The dated 2026 bachelor’s and postgraduate brochures give March 3–June 30, 2026; the general guide gives March 1–June 30. These windows are closed. The undated FAQ’s July 30 date is standing older guidance and does not control the named 2026 call.

Tuition
Admitted 2026-intake students must complete all payments by 24:00 Beijing time on 6 September 2026; a signed tuition-deferment application moves full tuition to 24:00 on 20 September 2026, and admission is cancelled if full payment is not received by 9 October 2026.

The 2026 guide names the Wenzhou University Freshman Scholarship for new degree students: Type A covers enrollment-year tuition; Type B is CNY 6,000 for undergraduate and CNY 8,000 for master’s/doctoral applicants.

Degree and non-degree admission

The dated 2026 bachelor’s and postgraduate brochures closed June 30, 2026; their March 3 opening differs from the general guide’s March 1. The standing FAQ gives March 1–July 30 without an intake year and does not establish a 2027 window. Apply through the university portal and pay RMB 800 for degree or RMB 400 for non-degree applications. Upload notarized academic documents and translations, passport, language evidence, financial proof, medical evidence and programme-specific references or China residence documents. Bank evidence normally covers the first year and at least RMB 30,000. Track the application online; interviews are not normally required but exceptions apply. The FAQ says documents are uploaded online and offers cannot be deferred.

Reference: Undated standing FAQ. Confirm the latest notice for the same course and route before applying.

    Open university application
  4. 4

    Review your offer and costs

    Check tuition, accommodation, insurance, payment deadlines and any financial-guarantee requirement. Accept the offer through the university's stated process. A CSC application is not part of a purely self-funded route.

  5. 5

    Track decisions and respond to requests

    Check your portal and email for missing-document requests, interviews and results. If a form is returned, correct it and resubmit. Keep admission and scholarship decisions separate; follow the final offer for acceptance, registration and original-document checks.

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.
