2026 intake, international students, from the university's own School of International Education · recorded source check: October 2, 2026
- Scholarship
- The university's 2026 International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship notice is dated 13 March 2026 and states filing opens 1 March 2026.

- Entry requirements
- Applicants must file on the International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship portal at cis.chinese.cn and register separately on the Yunnan University international student platform at ynu.at0086.cn.
- Entry requirements
- Eligibility for the International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship requires applicants to be non-Chinese citizens, friendly to China, with no criminal record, in good physical and mental health, and aged 16 to 35 as counted on 1 September 2026, relaxed to 45 for serving Chinese language teachers.
- Intake
- Language thresholds for that award are HSK level 5 at 210 and HSKK intermediate at 60 for the master's programme; HSK level 3 at 270 for the international Chinese language education one-year track; HSK level 3 at 210 for the Chinese language studies one-year track; and HSK level 3 at 180 for the one-semester track.
- Tuition
- The award covers tuition, accommodation, a living allowance (not for four-week students) and comprehensive medical insurance, and degree students must pass an annual review.
- Scholarship
- The university publishes a separate Yunnan University Scholarship for international students, alongside the Chinese Government Scholarship High Level Postgraduate Programme and Silk Road Programme, the Yunnan Provincial Government Scholarship, and a South and Southeast Asian University Network ambassador scholarship.
- Scholarship
- The 2026 Chinese Government Scholarship High Level Postgraduate Programme brochure and the 2026 Yunnan Provincial Government Scholarship brochure are both published on the university's own sites with dates of 28 and 30 October 2025.
- Programmes
- The university also publishes a 2026 Southwest United Graduate School international student admission brochure and a 2026 Chinese language trainee programme brochure.
- Verified fact
- Applications are handled through the Yunnan University international student service platform, with WeChat articles used as the main publication channel for several 2026 brochures.
- Tuition notes
- No tuition figure is published on the Yunnan University pages read during this check. The university's international student pages state programme structure and scholarship coverage but direct applicants to the online application platform for programme-level fees, and the 2026 brochure PDFs that would list tuition are not retrievable from the links published on the university's English site. Tuition is therefore left unrecorded rather than estimated.
- Current CSC deadline
- The prior High-Level Postgraduate date pair is not freshly confirmed and should be treated as historical. No 2027/28 opening or closing date was verified.
- Scholarship stacking
- The claim that the Yunnan Provincial Government Scholarship cannot be combined with CSC was not confirmed in a readable current provincial notice; remove that rule until a source supports it.
