University application guide
How to apply to Xinjiang University
新疆大学
Urumqi, Xinjiang, China
This guide brings together the application routes, published timing, submission methods, scholarship steps, documents, and source links recorded for Xinjiang University. Requirements can differ by degree, program, teaching language, and funding route. The university’s current notice controls the application.
Application fee
The application-fee status has not been verified for the current route. The 2026 self-funded brochure lists a CNY 400 registration fee per occasion (注册费400元人民币/次), without stating payment timing. It does not establish an application-submission fee. Separate 2026 scholarships exempt award holders from registration and other covered charges; those awards do not establish that every scholarship applicant is application-fee exempt.

Published dates and unconfirmed windows
Application timing and source scope
Xinjiang University's dated 2026 self-financed degree and CSC application windows described below have closed. Its separate March 2027 International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship route has a 31 October 2026 cutoff. Self-financed applicants had an online application window of 1 March 2026 to 15 May 2026 (网上申请：2026年3月1日-2026年5月15日) with qualification review running alongside it, degrees enrolling only in September (秋季学期：9月1日-30日入学, 学历生只在9月入学). The Chinese Government Scholarship High Level Postgraduate Programme 2026 closed for online applications on 8 February 2026, with college interviews 9 February to 15 March 2026 and recommended candidates reported 16-31 March 2026; the parallel Chinese Government Scholarship Provincial and Ministerial Co-construction Programme 2026 carried the identical 8 February 2026 deadline and interview schedule. The Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region People's Government Scholarship for students from neighbouring countries 2026 closed on 31 May 2026, with interviews 1-15 June 2026. The International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship had a 15 May 2026 deadline for September 2026 entry and a 31 October 2026 deadline for March 2027 entry — the only window in this list still open as at 17 September 2026, though it is set by the Centre for Language Education and Cooperation and the notice says the centre's finally published date governs. That March 2027 deadline was independently re-confirmed on 23 September 2026 and again on 24 September 2026 against the university's own 新疆大学国际中文教师奖学金招生简章（2026年） at https://gjjl.xju.edu.cn/info/1015/2558.htm, which states 2027年3月入学：截止日期为10月31日（以语合中心最终公布日期为准） and publishes the award's coverage as 学费、住宿费（免费双人间）、生活费（四周研修生除外）和综合医疗保险费, with the application route opening on chinese.cn from 1 March 2026 and the one-semester visiting-student track running at HSK Level 3 (180) plus an HSKK score. The official 2026 measures issued by the Centre for Language Education and Cooperation set the same 31 October 2026 student deadline for March 2027 entry, with recommending and host institutions reviewing by 10 November 2026. This is a scholarship deadline, not an admission deadline, and it does not by itself show that any self-financed degree intake is open. For self-financed students a new window for the 2027 intake has not been published; the most recent self-financed notice is the 2026 brochure, so the recurring pattern is an application window opening in early March and closing in mid-May. The International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship one-semester March 2027 route is open through 31 October 2026; earlier 2026 rounds are closed. Keep this date scoped to that award, not general admission or CSC.
Guide scope reviewed 3 October 2026. Dates apply only to the intake and route named in each notice.
