University application guide
云南民族大学
Kunming, Yunnan, China
This guide brings together the application routes, published timing, submission methods, scholarship steps, documents, and source links recorded for Yunnan Minzu University. Requirements can differ by degree, program, teaching language, and funding route. The university’s current notice controls the application.
The profile includes CSC-related application guidance for Yunnan Minzu University. Type B participation, eligible programs, and deadlines must be confirmed in the current university call.
Agency number recorded: 10691. Confirm it in the current Type B notice before submitting.
The application-fee status has not been verified for the current route. No application or registration fee is published by Yunnan Minzu University. The 2026 international student admissions brochure (云南民族大学2026年国际学生招生简章) publishes a full 费用信息 / Fees section as an official table, and that table lists only tuition and other study-related charges: tuition of CNY 9,000 per year for Chinese language programmes, CNY 11,000-20,000 for bachelor's, CNY 13,000-15,000 for master's and CNY 17,000 for doctoral; accommodation in the international student dormitory at CNY 1,200 per person per year; compulsory health insurance at CNY 800 per year; health certificate at approximately CNY 500 for first enrolment only; and residence permit at CNY 400 each time. The table contains no 报名费 or 申请费 line, and the CSC notice, the Yunnan Provincial Government Scholarship notice and both rounds of the Study in YMU Special Scholarship notice likewise state required documents and submission routes without naming any application charge. Per this project's rule, a page that does not state a fee means the fee is unknown, not free. Note that the online application platform named in the scholarship notices is the third-party host ynni.at0086.cn, which is not an official university domain and was therefore not used as evidence; any charge levied there is not documented by the university.

Published dates and unconfirmed windows
For the 2026 and 2026/2027 intakes Yunnan Minzu University publishes dated windows in four separate official notices on its International School site. The Chinese Government Scholarship High Level Postgraduate Program (中国政府奖学金“高水平研究生”项目, master's and doctoral, Chinese-taught) accepted applications from 3 November 2025 to 22 February 2026 through the campuschina.org system, so that window has closed. The Yunnan Provincial Government Scholarship (云南省政府奖学金) for undergraduate, master's and doctoral study accepted applications from 17 November 2025 to 31 December 2025, also closed. The university's own Study in YMU Special Scholarship (留学民大来华留学专项奖学金) ran a first round closing on 23 March 2026 and a second round from 25 August 2026 to 5 September 2026, both now closed at the date of this check. Self-funded degree programmes for the 2026 intake accepted applications from 1 March 2026 to 15 June 2026, with non-degree Chinese language programmes running 1 November 2025 to 30 December 2025 for the March 2026 spring intake and 1 March 2026 to 15 June 2026 for the September 2026 autumn intake. All four scholarship windows and both self-funded windows for the 2026 intake have closed, and no 2027 intake notice had been published at the date of this check, so the next cycle's dates should be treated as an approximation.

The historical 2025 notice directs applicants to complete the provincial scholarship form and the university online application, then print the university form. It lists passport, notarized diploma and transcripts, HSK 4 evidence, a study plan exceeding 1,000 words, two graduate references, physical examination and criminal-record certificate. University review and interview precede the Yunnan education authority's decision. Successful applicants use admission documents for an X1 visa and bring originals for registration. The current deadline, application fee and 2027 availability remain unconfirmed.
