## Admissions

Follow NCU’s official international application checklist, document review and interview process. Formal university admission and registration instructions control entry and campus arrangements.


## Why students choose it

- Published international fee categories and campus-specific housing references for planning.

## Things to consider

- Four further English undergraduate routes remain held for exact duration or programme identity clarification.
- English undergraduate students must reach HSK 4 for graduation and study Chinese and China overview.
- The current brochure’s 2026 fee categories do not establish every programme’s final invoice or a 2027 deadline.

## Best fit for

- Applicants comparing verified English undergraduate engineering, computing or business study.
- Bachelor’s graduates comparing English Design Science, Architecture or the two-year Tourism Administration route.
- Students prepared to meet exact academic, language, CSCA, health and financial-document conditions.

## Campus and city

The international admissions office is on Qianhu Campus at 999 Xuefu Avenue, Honggutan District. The current brochure distinguishes Qianhu north and south accommodation, with different room capacities and annual prices. Confirm the programme’s actual teaching location and residence assignment in the university offer; a central office address does not allocate every programme.

Nanchang is the capital of Jiangxi Province, and the university’s current international office address is in Honggutan District. The brochure distinguishes north and south Qianhu housing, while individual school addresses may differ. Plan travel around the exact campus and registration instructions in the formal offer. No travel-time, living-budget or universal housing guarantee is assumed.

The corresponding Civil Engineering and Materials Science plans describe professional engineering study, while the Software Engineering school profile discusses a four-year progression with practical learning. NCU’s international training rules normally arrange teaching practice with Chinese classmates, subject to adjustments for activities unsuitable for international students. Design and Architecture specialisations remain study directions within their respective master programmes.


## Hostel, food and safety

Published 2026 rates per person per academic year are Qianhu north double CNY 7,500, triple CNY 5,000 and four-person suite CNY 3,750; Qianhu south triple CNY 3,000. These current brochure room types supersede older webpage references. Obtain availability, room assignment, contract terms and any additional charges directly; no room is guaranteed.

The accommodation showcase includes kitchen facilities, and older room descriptions distinguish private or shared kitchen arrangements. Confirm cooking access for the actual room and residence allocated to you. The reviewed current brochure does not establish specialised meals or a dietary-service guarantee.

The international checklist requires a health examination, a police certificate and a financial statement issued within six months, along with passport and any applicable Chinese residence documents. Use the university’s official application process and obtain current emergency and residence contacts for the assigned campus.

The International Students Admission Office publishes study@ncu.edu.cn and +86-791-83968702. It supports international admission questions and directs applicants to the official application system. English programme admission and Chinese graduation requirements are separate; ask the office about exact programme plans, next-cycle dates, fees and campus arrangements.


## Frequently asked questions

### Which English programmes are verified?

The current brochure names nine English undergraduate and three English master parents. This profile includes routes with verified exact durations: undergraduate Software Engineering, Business Administration, Computer Science and Technology, Materials Science and Engineering and Civil Engineering; master Design Science, Architecture and Tourism Administration. Other exact-route duration and language gaps remain held.

### How long are the supported programmes?

The supported undergraduate programme plans give four years. The corresponding Design Science and Architecture master catalogues give three years; the current international brochure explicitly identifies Tourism Administration as two years. Design and Architecture specialisations are study tracks, not separate awards.

### What English evidence is required?

The current international brochure requires IELTS 6.0 or higher, TOEFL 82 or higher, or passing NCU’s English test for English degree study. It does not establish a blanket English-medium-school exemption. The older generic master webpage omits the English exception; the fresh brochure expressly separates English evidence from HSK 5 for Chinese master routes.

### Is Chinese required for English undergraduate study?

Yes. NCU’s published international undergraduate regulations require HSK 4 for graduation from English programmes, together with Chinese and China-studies courses. These are graduation and curricular conditions, separate from English admission evidence. Chinese-taught routes have a different HSK requirement.

### Which CSCA papers apply?

All undergraduate applicants must submit CSCA results. The current brochure requires at least Mathematics for English arts/business; English science/engineering/medicine requires Mathematics plus either Physics or Chemistry. The exact programme category and current test arrangements should be confirmed with NCU; no pass score is invented.

### What age and education requirements apply?

The current brochure gives undergraduate age 18–25 with senior high-school graduation, and master age 18–35 with a bachelor’s degree. Applicants must be non-Chinese citizens in good health. The published nationality and overseas-residence checklist requires individual review, especially for specified Chinese-parent cases; obtain the university’s interpretation.

### Which documents are needed?

The checklist includes passport valid at least 12 months, highest diploma, transcripts, health form, police certificate and financial statement issued within six months, and the specified JPG photo. Undergraduate applicants provide CSCA results. Master applicants provide two recommendation letters and a study plan or research proposal. Translate documents outside Chinese or English as instructed.

### Do master applicants need supervisor acceptance?

The fresh brochure asks master and doctoral applicants for two recommendation letters and a study plan or proposal, then specifically adds a supervisor acceptance letter for doctoral applicants. It is not presented as a blanket master requirement. Follow the programme’s own subsequent university instructions.

### What tuition and application fees are published?

The 2026 schedule lists undergraduate arts CNY 18,000/year and science/engineering CNY 19,000/year; master arts CNY 23,000/year and science/engineering CNY 25,000/year. Application is CNY 400. Where the exact named programme’s fee category is not explicit, its price remains on request rather than assigning a guessed invoice. Scholarships are conditional awards.

### What accommodation costs are published?

Per person per academic year, current brochure rates are Qianhu north double CNY 7,500, triple CNY 5,000 and four-person suite CNY 3,750; Qianhu south triple CNY 3,000. Older webpages show different south-room categories. Confirm current availability, contract and additional charges; publication of a room price does not guarantee allocation.

### When does degree study begin?

The current brochure states September for degree programmes and confirms full-time study. Its March and September nondegree entries do not establish spring degree availability. No confirmed next 2027 degree application deadline is present in the reviewed brochure; ask the admissions office for the intended cycle’s calendar.

### Are Clinical Medicine and older English master routes included?

Clinical Medicine is explicitly Chinese in the current recommendation table, so no English MBBS route is inferred. The older HTML table describes English Software Engineering master and bilingual Material Forming/Control or Civil/Water routes. These remain held for fresh exact English-route confirmation rather than carried forward automatically.

### Where will I study and who handles admission?

NCU’s International Students Admission Office is at Qianhu Campus, 999 Xuefu Avenue, Honggutan District, Nanchang, with study@ncu.edu.cn and +86-791-83968702. Confirm the exact teaching and residence assignment in the offer. An admissions contact does not establish an authorised intermediary relationship or partnership signing authority.
