Xiamen University of Technology (厦门理工学院) publishes its international application window only inside its annual prospectus, and the current cycle is the 2026 one. The 2026 Enrollment Guide for International Students (厦门理工学院2026年国际学生招生简章), published on the university's admissions site zs.xmut.edu.cn on 26 January 2026, sets the self-funded window as 自简章公布之日起至2026年5月5日 — that is, from the date of publication of the prospectus to 5 May 2026 — and it gives that identical closing date of 5 May 2026 to three separate tracks: 自费生 (self-funded), 中国政府奖学金(B类)(Chinese Government Scholarship Type B, the Silk Road Program, applied through studyinchina.csc.edu.cn using the university's code 11062), and 厦门理工学院国际生奖学金 (the XMUT International Student Scholarship). For 中国政府奖学金(A类), the country bilateral programme, the prospectus names no XMUT date and instead directs applicants to the dispatching authority in their own country, stating only that the window is 一般为每年1月~4月初 (generally January to early April each year) and that closing dates differ by country. Two later dated stages are fixed in the same prospectus: the online entrance interview is arranged for 2026年5月下旬 (late May 2026), and the official admission list is published 2026年7月前 (before July 2026). Every one of these 2026 dates had already passed as of 30 September 2026, and no 2027/2028 international admission notice had been published — the 国际学生 section of the admissions site carried only the two 26 January 2026 items (the Chinese prospectus and its English translation) at the date of this check. For historical comparison the preceding cycle, the 2025 Enrollment Guide published 17 February 2025, put the two XMUT-controlled deadlines at 28 February 2025 for CSC scholarship applicants and 10 May 2025 for XMUT scholarship applicants, as stated on the university's English How to Apply page; the 2023 国际学生陈嘉庚奖学金 prospectus used 10 May 2023, and the 2023 国际学生招生录取工作方案 placed the unified interview in late May 2023. The most recent official document dated for a future cycle on the international office site is 关于申报2026/2027学年“丝绸之路”中国政府奖学金项目的通知, which is an internal call inviting XMUT's own colleges to bid to host a Silk Road program, not a student application notice. Because no open window for 2027/2028 exists, the dating above is a record of the closed 2026 cycle and the institution's recurring pattern rather than a verified open window. The 2026 prospectus lists bachelor and master programmes; it does not list a doctoral programme, so do not present a university-specific Type B doctoral award or stipend. The Chen Jiageng award evidence located is from 2023 and does not establish current availability. The application fee is not published; confirm directly rather than describing the route as free.
