How to apply to Yunnan Agricultural University

云南农业大学

Kunming, Yunnan, China

This guide brings together the application routes, published timing, submission methods, scholarship steps, documents, and source links recorded for Yunnan Agricultural 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

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

Application fee

The application-fee status has not been verified for the current route. No application or registration fee is published. I read the Yunnan Agricultural University Foreign Students Scholarship 2026/2027 brochure (published 11 June 2026), the 2026-2027 bachelor's prospectus (published 28 November 2025) and the 2026/2027 Chinese Government Scholarship notice (published 13 November 2025) in full on gjxy.ynau.edu.cn. The scholarship brochure's list of required documents and its 'Application Process' section name no fee, and the bachelor's prospectus fee section does not exist; neither document states that application is free. The absence of a published fee is therefore recorded as unknown, not as confirmed-free.

Tuition notes
unverified — no self-funded tuition table was found. The only per-level figures published by Yunnan Agricultural University are the scholarship valuations in the 2026/2027 Foreign Students Scholarship brochure: it values undergraduate tuition at CNY 6,000, master's at CNY 8,000 and doctoral at CNY 10,000 per person per year, and a scholarship covers either 100% (Category A) or 50% (Category B) of those amounts. These are the university's own scholarship valuation of tuition, not a published self-funded fee schedule, and no Chinese-language-programme or English-taught tuition rate is stated anywhere I could open.
Accommodation
CNY 1,200 per person per year — the single student-apartment rate used in the 2026/2027 Foreign Students Scholarship brochure, where Category A covers accommodation at this rate. A separate published accommodation tariff for self-funded students was not found.
Physical examination
unverified — the Foreigner Physical Examination Record is a required application document in every YAU notice, but no charge for it is published by the university.

Language: HSK Level 4, score 180 or above. The Chinese Government Scholarship notice adds that an HSK4 result is valid for two years. Bachelor's applicants must submit a HSK4 certificate at 180 or above; applicants for the university's own scholarship are told 'in principle' to hold at least HSK Level 4 (HSK四级180分及以上).. Age: Undergraduate applicants under 25; master's applicants under 35; doctoral applicants under 40 (2026/2027 Foreign Students Scholarship brochure, section 三(五)).

University website — locate the current route notice

CSC High-Level

Complete the CSC Type B application with agency 10676 by March 1, 2026, and ensure the university receives the required application package by that date. The notice lists a signed CSC form, passport, highest diploma or student proof, and supporting academic documents. Applicants undergo university assessment and a video interview before provincial and CSC review. Neither nomination nor university review guarantees an award. This procedure was recovered from the indexed official notice; the live page redirects repeatedly, so the full document checklist and delivery address require confirmation.

Reference: 2026/27; closed. Confirm the latest notice for the same course and route before applying.

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.
