Question 1

Which English programmes are current?

Accepted Answer

Hohai’s 2027 international catalogue lists 25 English master’s subjects across 20 numbered schools. It includes distinct water-engineering fields, engineering, science, business, sociology and Marxist theory. Compare each exact title and school rather than assuming all have identical research directions.

Question 2

Are English undergraduate programmes currently verified?

Accepted Answer

The latest undergraduate catalogue lists Chinese-taught programmes. Older English undergraduate curricula remain archived, but current English undergraduate recruitment is not established by those plans or generic English-language wording. Confirm a named current route with admissions before relying on it.

Question 3

How long does a master’s degree take?

Accepted Answer

The standing general prospectus sets a three-year standard master’s duration, with a permitted study period of two to five years. Completing the academic plan, examinations and thesis defence is required. The exact academic degree follows the university’s award rules.

Question 4

Which campus will I attend?

Accepted Answer

The current English catalogue explicitly marks five teaching schools in Changzhou: Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Information Science and Engineering, Artificial Intelligence and Automation, Renewable Energy, and Materials Science and Engineering. Other rows do not assign a campus. Confirm teaching and housing in the offer.

Question 5

What academic and age conditions are published?

Accepted Answer

The standing 2026/2027 guide requires non-Chinese citizenship, good health, a bachelor’s degree and age under 35 for master’s applicants. It also requires a research plan and two professor/associate professor recommendations. Confirm the actual next cohort’s conditions with the university.

Question 6

What English or Chinese requirements apply?

Accepted Answer

Non-native English speakers provide relevant English qualification evidence such as IELTS or TOEFL. The general guide gives no numeric test minimum. It also states that English-taught graduate students must reach level 3 of the specified Chinese proficiency scales for graduation; English teaching does not remove that requirement.

Question 7

Is a current deadline confirmed?

Accepted Answer

The 2027 English programme table does not specify a next deadline or start month. The published general application period for the 2026/2027 cohort ended on 10 April 2026. Ask admissions for the next open round and its official checklist.

Question 8

What tuition and extra fees are published?

Accepted Answer

The 2026/2027 prospectus quotes CNY 32,000 per year for English master’s study, CNY 400 non-refundable application and compulsory insurance CNY 800 per year. These dated prices are not a final next-cohort quote. Tuition and accommodation are paid in RMB.

Question 9

How is accommodation priced and allocated?

Accepted Answer

The standing brochure quotes Xikang Road single rooms at CNY 9,600–24,000 per year depending on conditions, Jiangning single rooms at CNY 12,000 per year, and Changzhou double rooms at CNY 7,200 per year per bed. The university allocates the residence campus; confirm current availability and charges.

Question 10

What does the refund policy say?

Accepted Answer

The standing brochure permits a 70% tuition refund for withdrawal within two weeks of registration, with accommodation calculated accordingly. A hard-copy application and returned invoice are required. It gives no refund after two weeks or for expulsion for rule violations. Confirm the applicable cohort’s exact terms before paying.

Question 11

Are scholarships automatic?

Accepted Answer

No. The standing brochure separates scholarship routes. Chinese Government Type A goes through the local Chinese embassy/consulate; Hohai does not accept it directly. Type B requires both CSC and Hohai systems, agency 10294. Jiangsu’s scheme requires provincial-department recommendation for applicants from Belt and Road countries or friendly provinces/states/regions; the university does not accept direct applications. Hohai first class covers tuition, on-campus housing, insurance and a monthly stipend; second class tuition and housing; third class tuition. Annual review applies. Confirm current scheme rules; no award or stipend amount is guaranteed.

Question 12

How should an application be submitted?

Accepted Answer

Use Hohai’s official application system, keep control of your account and monitor the registered email. Follow the selected scheme’s separate instructions. The International School publishes a non-authorisation statement covering external admissions-related activities; obtain official information and submit through the university’s process.

Question 13

Who handles international admission enquiries?

Accepted Answer

The official contact list names Ms LI Junyu (Micky) and Ms LI Wanting (Lillian) for admissions, with shared admission@hhu.edu.cn and +86 25 8378 7955. The International School address is 1 Xikang Road, Nanjing, Jiangsu 210098. Student-service and complaints contacts have different roles.
