Question 1

Which English graduate fields can I compare?

Accepted Answer

The current international guide includes engineering, computing, geoscience, mining, safety, materials, management and related interdisciplinary routes, alongside named basic-medical research subjects. Use the exact programme title and school in the university application. Its current verified brochure covers full-time graduate admission; no unverified English undergraduate route is added here.

Question 2

How long are the masters and what award is established?

Accepted Answer

The current international duration table gives three years for master study and four for doctoral study. It establishes master level, but not an exact MSc, MEng or other formal abbreviation for these routes. Separate current programme rows retain their exact local names even when they share a broader subject family.

Question 3

What qualification and age conditions apply?

Accepted Answer

A qualification equivalent to a Chinese bachelor’s degree is required, together with good health and conduct. The Chinese master guide says no more than age 30; the English version says under 30. Applicants who are already 30 should confirm the exact cutoff before relying on eligibility. No unverified universal minimum age or GPA is added.

Question 4

What English evidence is accepted?

Accepted Answer

The guide lists native English, English-medium undergraduate study, IELTS 6.5 and strong results in other official English tests among its routes. Non-native speakers provide accepted English evidence. Chinese and English brochures disagree on TOEFL 60 versus 80, so confirm that minimum and the accepted evidence format directly; no lower score is assumed valid.

Question 5

Can HSK replace English evidence?

Accepted Answer

The Chinese text clearly assigns HSK 5 or above to Chinese-medium study. A generic alternative in the English table is not treated as an English-route waiver. English applicants should meet the English conditions and provide accepted evidence. A universal Chinese graduation test or threshold is not established by this graduate brochure.

Question 6

What academic documents do I need?

Accepted Answer

Prepare the notarised highest diploma and transcripts; current students also provide institutional enrolment evidence. A Chinese- or English-language study/research plan is required, with at least 800 words under the English guide; confirm the Chinese text-length convention. Two professor/associate-professor recommendations and the exact English evidence are required. Additional publications, achievements and awards can support the application.

Question 7

What identity, health and financial records are needed?

Accepted Answer

The checklist requires the application form, passport copy, English-completed physical examination form, bank deposit proof equivalent to at least CNY 50,000, application-charge voucher and eight recent passport-sized photographs. Bring the original health form to China. No unverified six-month bank history, health-report age, passport expiry minimum or police-document requirement is added.

Question 8

What are tuition and accommodation charges?

Accepted Answer

The 2026 master tuition is CNY 20,000 per year. Double rooms are CNY 2,000/year and single rooms CNY 3,500/year. The Chinese insurance reference is at least CNY 800/year. Confirm next-cycle charges, room allocation and the final invoice. The admission deposit counts toward tuition and is not an additional annual accommodation charge.

Question 9

When do I pay and what is refundable?

Accepted Answer

The CNY 400 application charge is non-refundable regardless of admission outcome. After the electronic offer, the CNY 2,000 admission deposit can count toward tuition; the university then provides visa documentation. Failure to register on the specified date forfeits that deposit. Annual tuition is due in one payment in the first academic week and is generally non-refundable under the published guide.

Question 10

When can I apply and register?

Accepted Answer

The brochure planned 2026 applications from 1 March to 1 July, but the official portal announced registration closure on 24 June 2026. The published registration period was early September 2026. That cycle is closed. Confirm the next application and exact registration dates with AUST; no future intake month is inferred from the past schedule.

Question 11

What scholarship support is available?

Accepted Answer

The 2026 provincial scholarship reference is CNY 30,000/year for masters. The AUST outstanding international scholarship reference is CNY 20,000–30,000/year, and it cannot overlap with the provincial award. Both follow their own selection and funding process; admission does not guarantee an award or a tuition reduction. Campus assistant/research support follows university opportunities and separate conditions.

Question 12

What other living costs should I plan for?

Accepted Answer

The 2026 guide estimates CNY 800–1,200/month for living expenses and about CNY 500/year for books. It references CNY 400/year for physical examination, with permit charges depending on duration in the Chinese schedule. These are historical planning figures, not an all-inclusive bill or a current fee guarantee. Confirm insurance coverage, room facilities, dining and actual campus arrangements before travel.

Question 13

Do the medicine-school routes qualify me for clinical practice?

Accepted Answer

Immunology and Pathology and Pathophysiology are separately named basic-medical academic research fields within the university’s Basic Medical Sciences framework. Their catalogue listing does not establish clinical practice, residency eligibility or professional registration. Confirm the exact final award, supervisor and research arrangements; no MBBS or licensing entitlement is implied.
