What kind of institution is Donghua?

Donghua is a Ministry of Education university in Shanghai, established in 1951 and formerly known as China Textile University. It is listed in the Ministry’s 2026 national higher education institution register. Institutional listing does not promise a professional licence or recognition outcome elsewhere.

Which campus will I attend?

English SCF design bachelors are at Yan’an Road. The English engineering master routes are at Songjiang. Their residence buildings and facilities differ, so plan accommodation around the programme’s actual teaching campus.

What English evidence do design applicants need?

The 2026 guide lists IELTS Academic 5.5 or TOEFL iBT 72. A qualifying recent fully English-medium high-school education can support an exemption with an official school certificate. The guide sets date limits; earlier graduates must supply the required test result.

Do English design applicants need CSCA?

Yes. The 2026 guide requires Mathematics using the English test paper for the English-taught undergraduate programmes. Their application also requires high-school records, English evidence and a personal design portfolio.

What format should the design portfolio use?

The English design routes require a personal art-portfolio video of about three minutes. Explain design concepts, professional understanding, skills and creativity in English. Applicants may also be asked to complete an art examination or related interview.

Is an Edinburgh degree automatic?

No. Four-year SCF completion leads to the relevant Donghua bachelor qualification. Study at Edinburgh involves separate selection, and an additional Edinburgh degree depends on its own completion and award standards. Do not treat the standard Shanghai route as an automatic dual award.

Are scholarships available for the English design bachelors?

The 2026 programme catalogue marks the English SCF design routes as unavailable for entrance scholarships. These are self-funded routes, with a historical 2026 annual tuition reference of CNY 98000. Confirm the next-intake tuition before payment.

What award do the verified English engineering masters confer?

Their individual English guides specify an Academic Degree and Master of Engineering, with a three-year study period. That wording is retained as an academic award; it does not establish professional engineering registration or a clinical qualification.

What English scores do master applicants need?

The 2026 master guide lists IELTS Academic 6.0 or TOEFL iBT 80. A qualifying recent fully English-taught previous degree can support an exemption with an official university certificate. Earlier graduates must provide the required test certificate under the guide’s validity rules.

Does a supervisor’s letter guarantee admission?

No. A Supervision Intention Letter is an application document for most master routes, and the university can adjust the supervisor. The 2026 catalogue does not require it for the College of Textiles routes; other verified English engineering routes list it as required.

How much should I budget for an engineering master?

The official 2026 catalogue gives CNY 40000 per academic year for the exact English routes. This is an indicative historical tuition reference; accommodation, living costs and other charges are separate. The current next-intake programme fee is on request.

How do the residences differ?

Yan’an Road international rooms have private bathrooms and listed in-room facilities. Songjiang residences use public bathrooms and shared facilities on each floor. Room type, utilities, internet and booking arrangements affect the practical budget; confirm the current allocation and charge.

How can Students Traffic help?

Students Traffic can help compare the degree, campus, current fee and documents, organise a design portfolio or research application, and prepare questions about supervision and housing. The university makes admission decisions and sets the applicable next-cohort conditions.
