Is the university recognised?

FAFU is listed in the Ministry of Education 2026 register under 福建农林大学, code 4135010389, in Fuzhou, Fujian. Institutional listing does not guarantee overseas recognition of every qualification or confer professional registration.

Which programmes are offered in English?

The 2026 international catalogue marks particular master subjects English or Chinese/English. These language options are preserved per subject; bilingual names alone are not used as proof. The current undergraduate index does not establish an English bachelor intake.

How long is a master’s programme?

The international training rule states a normal master period of three years and maximum five. The current supplementary subject catalogue corroborates three years for the listed subjects. Early graduation requires approval under the relevant rules; no shortened admission route is promised.

The 2026 master guide requires non-Chinese citizenship, valid passport, a bachelor’s qualification equivalent to a Chinese bachelor, and good physical and mental health. It says under 35 and also born on or after 30 April 1991; confirm the intended cohort’s exact age boundary.

What English proof is accepted?

IELTS 6.5, TOEFL 85 or equivalent language-proficiency proof is stated for applicants from countries where English is not official. The document also exempts applicants from English-speaking countries from language proof. Confirm how your country and qualification are assessed; no universal prior-English-degree waiver is inferred.

HSK 5 is the published Chinese-taught admission requirement. Separately, the international training rule requires foreign-language-taught master’s graduates to reach at least HSK 3. Confirm course provision, assessment and timing with the academic college; no unprinted numerical HSK score is added.

What academic documents are needed?

Prepare your bachelor’s qualification and sealed transcripts, CV, language proof or the exact exemption, a study/research plan of at least 800 words and two relevant-field associate-professor/professor references. Other-language records need notarised Chinese/English translations. Graduating seniors and China-based graduates have additional stated records.

What other records are needed?

The guide asks for passport, blue-background photo, medical examination and no-criminal-record proof, plus bank or sponsor financial guarantee unless a scholarship recipient. Under-18 applicants provide guardian documents in China. The 2026 guide has exact passport, reference and medical dates; confirm the new cohort’s dates rather than copying expired ones.

How does admission work?

Apply through the official university portal. The International College checks eligibility; academic colleges assess applicants through an in-person, video or telephone interview. Follow the university’s fee notification and official admission, visa and registration instructions. The office does not accept paper application materials.

The 2026 ordinary deadline was 30 April at 24:00 Beijing time. High-Level CSC applicants needed both systems by 15 February 2026. Both have passed. The guide describes annual September–October registration, with individual dates in the Admission Notice; confirm the next opening and subject start date.

What does study cost?

The current-linked May 2024 reference quotes master tuition CNY 21,000/year, indicative for a future cohort. The non-refundable application/registration charge is CNY 500 or USD 80, literal alternatives; insurance is CNY 800/year. Housing and personal costs are separate. Confirm the invoice before paying.

How do housing and scholarships work?

Current housing quotes single CNY 10,800 or double CNY 5,400/person/year, with allocation notified after admission. Scholarship recipients may receive fee waivers and living support under their specific award, with annual review; no award or room type is guaranteed. The current-linked CSC annex contains historical dates, so use the current scheme’s instructions.

How can Students Traffic help?

Students Traffic can help compare verified subjects, organise records and clarify English options, research fit, exact qualification, fees and housing. Applications use FAFU’s official system. Admission, scholarship, visa and degree decisions remain with the university and responsible authorities.
