## Admissions

Select the exact English master programme and academic school through the official BFU application process. University material checks, academic review and the formal admission decision apply.


## Why students choose it

- A Ministry of Education-listed public university with an academic foundation in biology, ecology and forestry.
- Exact English master rows retain their admitting schools, durations and original qualification forms.
- School brochures document field research, practical training and planning studios relevant to the named disciplines.

## Things to consider

- No English-only undergraduate route is promoted from English-language descriptions; the UG guide requires HSK 4 and CSCA.
- Selected 2027 school brochures update programme information, while the complete central fee and application calendar remains the dated 2026 reference.
- Housing figures conflict across the central PDF; confirm the actual room and price in writing.

## Best fit for

- Graduate applicants with a relevant undergraduate background comparing English forestry, ecology, conservation or planning study.
- Students willing to combine academic research with the field and practical requirements of their school.
- Applicants prepared to confirm current dates, fees and residence terms through BFU’s official process.

## Campus and city

The International College is at 35 Qinghua East Road in Beijing’s Haidian District. Its campus-life pages group arts and culture, athletics, student activities, health and wellness and international student organisations. Confirm access and the assigned teaching venue with the university.

BFU’s published international-student address is in Haidian District, Beijing, at 35 Qinghua East Road. Applicants should plan around the actual teaching and residence assignment in the offer. Forestry and ecological fieldwork can involve stations beyond Beijing; those research locations are not proof of a separate permanent campus for every cohort.

The School of Forestry describes field trips and forest-farm bases as part of practical study. The 2027 Soil and Water Conservation brochure identifies field stations and practical training within degree requirements. The 2027 planning brochure combines spatial-planning studios, ecological restoration and field trips. These are documented learning settings, not guaranteed employment or an overseas placement.


## Hostel, food and safety

The 2026 graduate PDF has conflicting accommodation figures: its English side prints double CNY 50/day and single CNY 10/day, while Chinese reverses the room labels and gives 50/100. The general tuition/accommodation page lists double CNY 50–60/day/bed and single CNY 100–120/day/bed, excluding water and electricity. Obtain a written room category, rate and availability confirmation; no disputed single price or annual housing total is promised.

The reviewed admissions sources do not establish a current halal, vegetarian or allergy-safe meal guarantee. Discuss dietary needs, kitchen access and the assigned residence with the International College before accepting housing.

The published application process checks health documents and authentic supporting records; inconsistent originals can invalidate registration. Use official university instructions for visa, housing and campus requirements, and confirm current emergency contacts after enrolment.

The International College handles international recruitment and student support. The published contact page names recruitment staff and separate student-affairs colleagues; admission@bjfu.edu.cn is repeated in current brochures. Applicants can ask for referral to the appropriate school or service.


## Frequently asked questions

### Which English undergraduate programmes are supported?

None is included in this profile. The full 2026/27 undergraduate catalogue has 37 rows, while its guide says teaching is generally Chinese and requires HSK 4 or above plus CSCA. An English brochure or programme description does not establish English-only degree delivery.

### Which English master programmes are supported?

The complete central catalogue has nine English rows: Forestry Economics and Management; two Forestry professional routes in different schools; Nature Reserve Science; Wildlife Protection and Utilization; Ecology; Soil and Water Conservation and Desertification Combating; Landscape Architecture; and Grassland Science. A 2027 brochure adds Urban and Rural Planning.

### How long do the masters take?

Forestry Economics and Management is two years. The other supported routes are three years, including the 2027 Urban and Rural Planning MUP. The 2027 Soil and Water Conservation brochure explicitly confirms three-year full-time durations for both of its English masters.

### Why are there two Forestry listings?

The central international catalogue separately lists the School of Forestry and School of Soil and Water Conservation, both offering the professional Master of Forestry in English for three years. These remain distinct school offerings under one course family. Research directions are not counted as additional degrees.

### What qualification will I receive?

The catalogue prints Master of Management, Master of Forestry, Master of Agriculture Science, Master of Science and Master of Landscape Architecture, with native qualification wording retained privately. The 2027 planning brochure prints Master in Urban and Rural Planning (MUP). No unsupported MSc, MEng or MBA abbreviation is added.

### What are the entry and English requirements?

The central master guide requires non-Chinese citizenship, age 18–35, an undergraduate degree and a valid passport. Its Chinese version specifies more than six months of passport validity. English routes accept IELTS at least 6.0, TOEFL at least 80 or equivalent; native English-speaking-country applicants follow the documented proof waiver.

### Do English master applicants need HSK or CSCA?

The central guide separates Chinese-route HSK 4 from English-route proficiency. It does not establish CSCA as a master requirement. The current undergraduate guide explicitly requires CSCA, which is not transferred to these masters. Confirm any additional language or graduation condition with the academic school.

### Which documents should master applicants prepare?

The current list includes passport, notarised highest education certificate, official transcripts, English evidence, study plan, non-criminal record, two recommendation letters and physical examination form. The general prospectus specifies at least 1,000 words for a graduate study plan, financial evidence for self-support and additional portfolio material for applicable art/design programmes.

### What does tuition cost?

The dated 2026 English-master reference is CNY 33,000 per academic year, with application CNY 800 and insurance CNY 800/year. Future-intake charges need confirmation. The new 2027 MUP brochure does not quote its own tuition, so its programme price remains on request rather than assuming the older reference is its confirmed 2027 fee.

### What is the accommodation caveat?

The graduate PDF’s English and Chinese room labels and amounts conflict, including a single-room English figure of CNY 10/day. The general housing page lists double CNY 50–60/day/bed and single CNY 100–120/day/bed, excluding water and electricity. Confirm the actual room, term and rate in writing; no annual total is invented.

### What dates apply to the next intake?

The complete central guide gives 15 June 2026 as the past application deadline and separate scholarship deadlines. Selected 2027 school brochures are already linked, but a complete new application calendar and exact start month are not established. No past deadline or generic Fall label is converted into an intake month.

### Where will I study and do practical work?

The International College contact address is 35 Qinghua East Road, Haidian District, Beijing. The admitting academic school is retained for each route. School brochures describe field stations, forest bases, practical training or planning studios; confirm the actual teaching, fieldwork and residence assignment in the formal offer.

### How does BFU review an application?

Applicants select the exact route in the official portal and upload documents. The International College first checks materials and may request updates; the application fee is paid as instructed. The academic school then conducts a second review. Admission and scholarship outcomes remain university decisions; programme listing does not guarantee a place or funding.
