## Admissions

Use the exact 2026 international catalogue and confirm the next application cycle before submission. Undergraduate subjects and campus assignments differ by programme; master’s applicants need a provisional supervisor acceptance letter. Standard admission, CSC High Level and Belt-Road funding have different eligibility and language rules.


## Why students choose it

- Two English undergraduate routes have explicit campus and CSCA subject allocations.
- Eight English master’s subjects are documented in the 2026 international catalogue.
- Programme guides explain supervisor acceptance, portfolios and route-specific funding requirements.

## Things to consider

- The 2026 undergraduate and scholarship deadlines have closed; confirm the next intake notice.
- The standard master’s age limit and CSC High Level age limit differ.
- Design and Pharmacy are outside the current six-subject CSC High Level catalogue.

## Best fit for

- International high-school graduates considering English Textile Engineering or Industrial Design.
- Bachelor’s graduates planning research in the eight documented English master’s subjects.
- Applicants prepared for supervisor contact, financial documentation and programme-specific portfolio or test requirements.

## Campus and city

Jiangnan’s published campus information describes academic buildings, student activities and an international student association. A university report on Xiake Wan facilities identifies a library, gymnasium, canteen, one-stop service centre, laboratories and dormitories. The international-student Q&A explains campus-card functions for dining, library borrowing and access, plus arrangements for opening campus network services.

The university is situated in Wuxi near Taihu Lake. Its 2026 English undergraduate table assigns Textile Engineering to Lihu and Industrial Design to Xiake Wan, so applicants should compare travel and daily routines for the correct campus. Master’s sources identify schools without a precise classroom allocation; confirm that location and housing in the offer.

The Textile Engineering school describes preparation for textile product and process design, production, testing, quality control and engineering development. Master’s applicants prepare a research proposal and obtain supervisor acceptance, providing a basis for discussing laboratory or project work. Design routes require a portfolio. Exact modules, research facilities and external placements should be confirmed for the English cohort; employment is not guaranteed.


## Hostel, food and safety

Published 2026 undergraduate housing references are CNY 3,000 per year at Lihu and CNY 1,500 per year at Xiake Wan. The standard master’s guide quotes CNY 3,000 per year. Room type, allocation and next-intake charges require confirmation. Keep those annual references separate from the admissions FAQ’s semester-based accommodation table; the programme-specific campus schedule governs the undergraduate comparison.

Campus-card guidance lists canteen and supermarket payments, while university reporting identifies a canteen at Xiake Wan. Students can use the published student-service channels to ask about menus and dietary preparation at their assigned campus. No specific halal or allergy-safe provision is established in the reviewed sources, so confirm those arrangements directly before arrival.

Applicants provide a physical-examination record within six months and a non-criminal record. The international medical guide explains health-examination verification, and campus-card guidance includes hospital outpatient payment functions. Published insurance references are CNY 800 per year for undergraduates and CNY 400 per semester in the standard master’s guide. Confirm the applicable policy and campus health contacts before arrival.

The School of International Education publishes admissions@jiangnan.edu.cn, +86 510 85329235 and +86 510 85919552. Applications use jiangnan.17gz.org, with colour scans reviewed before original-document checks at registration. The international student association and student-affairs guidance provide communication and campus-life support; keep the exact programme, school and application number when seeking advice.


## Frequently asked questions

### Which English degrees are documented?

The 2026 catalogue lists undergraduate Textile Engineering and Industrial Design. English masters are daily living Science and Engineering, Fermentation Engineering, Microbiology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Sugar Refining Engineering, Design, Textile Science and Engineering, and Pharmacy. Chinese-table subjects are separate.

### Which campus teaches the English undergraduate routes?

The 2026 table assigns Textile Engineering to Lihu and Industrial Design to Xiake Wan. Master’s listings identify schools but do not provide an exact classroom campus for each route. Confirm housing and teaching allocation in the offer.

### What CSCA subjects are listed?

Textile Engineering lists Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. Industrial Design lists Mathematics and Physics. The historical 2026 PDF and live page differ on the CSCA registration-document cutoff, so confirm the next intake’s test and document deadlines directly.

### What English scores apply?

Undergraduate guidance lists IELTS 5.5, TOEFL 75, CEFR B2 or a recognised alternative. Standard masters list IELTS 6.0, TOEFL 80, CEFR B2 or a recognised alternative. Graduates of an English-taught school have the stated certificate exemption; the exact scholarship guide adds its own waiver conditions.

### What age and prior qualifications are required?

The undergraduate guide gives age 18–30, with exceptions reviewed case by case, and requires high-school completion or an accepted equivalent. Standard masters require a bachelor’s degree and age no more than 40. CSC High Level masters instead have an age ceiling of 35.

### Do master’s candidates need a supervisor letter?

Yes. The standard master’s document list requires a Jiangnan supervisor’s provisional acceptance letter, research proposal and two recommendations. The CSC High Level guide separately requires a research proposal of at least 1,500 words.

### Is a Design portfolio required?

Yes. The university requires at least three works of art for Design applicants. This applies to the documented English Industrial Design undergraduate and Design master’s routes. The university confirms the current portfolio format and assessment.

### How much is tuition?

The 2026 references are CNY 16,400 per year for the two English undergraduate routes and CNY 20,000 per year for the English masters. Confirm the next intake amount. Housing, insurance, application fee and the conditional-offer tuition deposit are separate.

### How do the deposit and application fee work?

The standard procedure lists a non-refundable CNY 400 application fee and a CNY 3,000 tuition deposit within one month after a conditional offer. The admissions FAQ exempts CSC Category B applications from the application fee. Confirm scholarship-specific deposit instructions rather than assuming every route uses identical payments.

### What housing and insurance references are published?

Undergraduate housing is quoted annually at CNY 3,000 for Lihu or CNY 1,500 for Xiake Wan, with CNY 800 annual insurance. The standard master’s guide quotes annual housing of CNY 3,000 and insurance of CNY 400 per semester. Room type and allocation need confirmation.

### Does CSC High Level cover all eight English masters?

No. Its 2026 catalogue covers daily living Science and Engineering, the four listed Biotechnology-school subjects, and Textile Science and Engineering. It does not list Design or Pharmacy. Its conditional benefits include tuition, a CNY 3,000 monthly master’s living allowance, an off-campus accommodation reference of CNY 700 monthly and comprehensive insurance.

### Is Belt-Road Business Administration an English option?

The 2026 Belt-Road Business Administration route requires HSK 5, a Chinese proposal of at least 1,500 words, a bachelor’s degree and age under 35. It recruits from Vietnam, Egypt, Malaysia, Indonesia, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Russia, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, with work experience prioritised. Its deadline was 8 May 2026. It does not establish an additional English route.

### When are the deadlines?

The undergraduate deadline was 30 June 2026. CSC High Level applications ran 15 October 2025–20 February 2026. Those windows have closed. The standard master’s page gives a general annual November–June window; confirm the next intake year, opening, closing and commencement dates before applying.
