How to apply to Zhaoqing University
肇庆学院
Zhaoqing, Guangdong, China
This guide brings together the application routes, published timing, submission methods, scholarship steps, documents, and source links recorded for Zhaoqing University. Requirements can differ by degree, program, teaching language, and funding route. The university’s current notice controls the application.
Application fee
CNY 500 per person (application fee) The 2026 Zhaoqing University International Student Admission Brochure (Non-Degree Education), published 2026-06-26, states an application fee of RMB 500 per person under section VIII Fees (八、收费（人民币）), item B: '申请费：500元/人' / 'Application Fee: RMB 500/person.' The same section notes applicants pay after receiving the pre-admission notification email and following the university's instructions; students already inside the Chinese mainland may settle tuition, application fee and accommodation fees after arriving at the university, while applicants outside China must complete payment before they can obtain the Admission Notice and the JW201/202 Form. The notice does not state whether the application fee is refundable. This is an application fee and not tuition: section VIII item A separately states tuition of RMB 7,500 per semester or RMB 15,000 per academic year.

- The published 2026 international brochure is explicitly non-degree education (非学历教育), so it states only the language/foundation rate; group applications may be priced on actual duration and class hours (以团组形式申请成班的根据实际时长及课时量计算学费). The international section separately advertises bachelor's articulation (本科插班制) programmes in Computer Science, English (Teacher Education), Electrical Engineering and Automation, and Accounting, and master's programmes in Physical Education and Design (MFA), but their 2026-06-25 programme descriptions publish no tuition figures, so those rates are not recorded here.
