Published dates and unconfirmed windows

Application timing and source scope

The reviewed international degree guides remain 2026-cycle. The International College index lists a 2027 International Undergraduate Youth Talent Program notice dated September 29, 2026, linking to its official WeChat post. That notice’s full body was inaccessible in this review, so its dates, fees and procedure are unconfirmed; the index listing does not establish a university-wide 2027 window. The most recent published windows are the 2026 cycle: undergraduate applications ran from 1 December 2025 to 28 February 2026 with certain majors closing on 31 May 2026, and self-funded master's and doctoral applications closed on 28 February 2026 with some master's programmes closing on 31 May 2026. The Chinese Government Scholarship university programme (Type B) closed on 31 December 2025, the Zhejiang Provincial Government Scholarship for new international postgraduate students closed on 28 February 2026, and the China-ASEAN Marine Scholarship, the International Business School Haining scholarship and the Belt and Road International Medical School scholarship closed on 31 May 2026. All have closed. Every guide states that scholarship applicants follow each scholarship's own published call rather than the self-funded dates. The published application fee is CNY 800 for undergraduate, master's and doctoral applicants and CNY 400 for Chinese-language trainees; tuition is published per academic year on the 费用和银行账户 page, from CNY 19,800 for undergraduate humanities to CNY 42,800 for the English-taught clinical medicine programme, with a CNY 8,000 per year surcharge for English-taught postgraduate programmes, and medical insurance is CNY 800 per year and mandatory for registration. From the 2026/2027 academic year every international applicant to an undergraduate programme must also submit a valid CSCA (China Scholastic Competency Assessment) score report. Zhejiang University's CSC institution code for the university programme (Type B) is 10335, printed in the university's own notice. No complete 2027/2028 general degree or scholarship call was verified in the reviewed sources. The separately indexed Youth Talent notice needs a readable full body. For fee-paying applicants, the published fee schedule lists CNY 800 for degree study and CNY 400 for language study; the CSC Type A route is exempt from the ZJU application fee. Type B applicants must follow the scholarship notice. All listed scholarship calls are 2026-cycle and closed; 2027 general degree and scholarship eligibility, dates and coverage remain unconfirmed by the reviewed full notices.

Recorded CSC agency number; confirm it in the current CSC call: 10335

Guide scope reviewed 3 October 2026. Dates apply only to the intake and route named in each notice.

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.
