Campus environment

Accommodation

The 2027 guide provides university-arranged accommodation across Xingqing, Yanta and iHarbour. International students book rooms online and allocation follows the current annual policy. Published charges range fromCNY 8,000 to 19,000 per year. This is a housing range, not a guarantee of a particular campus, room type or bundled living package.

Food & daily living

Meals and personal spending need a separate budget from the quoted tuition and accommodation charges. Confirm your assigned campus and residence before planning daily food arrangements or dietary requirements. The accommodation quote alone does not establish a meal plan or specialised catering provision.

Safety

Applicants provide a complete Foreigner Physical Examination Record and blood-test report, valid for six months, together with a valid non-criminal record. Admission includes verification of identity, qualification and language documents. Follow the university’s health-report, medical-insurance and registration instructions for the intended intake.

Student support

The School of International Education coordinates admissions, application-system guidance, pre-admission and registration communication. Applicants should monitor the registered email and system messages because missing a response deadline can affect admission. Programme supervision is arranged through the named school, and Students Traffic can help organise the exact document and course-comparison checklist.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same university as XJTLU?

No. Xi’an Jiaotong University is based in Xi’an, Shaanxi. Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University is a separate institution in Suzhou. Choose the correct university, campus and application system.

Which engineering bachelor’s programmes are taught in English?

The 2027 list includes Intelligent Manufacturing Engineering, Energy and Power Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Automation, and Materials Science and Engineering. Each is four years and awards a Bachelor of Engineering.

What are the undergraduate CSCA subjects?

Use the English version of CSCA for an English-taught degree. Manufacturing, energy and power, and electrical require Mathematics and Physics; Materials requires Mathematics and Chemistry.

What is the undergraduate age and qualification requirement?

Applicants must be under 25 and have a high-school, senior-secondary or advanced diploma. Graduating applicants may apply with expected-graduation evidence but must submit the official diploma before enrolment. Under 18 applicants need guardian authorisation.

What are the English requirements?

Undergraduate entry accepts IELTS 6.0 or TOEFL 80 and approved equivalents; a native-speaker waiver requires approval. Postgraduate entry accepts IELTS 6.0, TOEFL 80 or Duolingo 110 and approved equivalents. Business Administration IELTS 7.0 receives priority, rather than being the general minimum.

What are the master’s academic requirements?

Master’s applicants need a bachelor’s degree, age under 35, good health and a valid foreign ordinary passport. School-specific academic review, interview/examinations and programme conditions also apply.

Do all master’s programmes require a supervisor letter?

No. The 2027 table records this for each exact school and programme. Many engineering, science and medical routes require it, while Business Administration and Applied Economics do not. Use the exact offering’s checklist.

Do English clinical master’s students need Chinese?

Yes. Professional clinical/dental master’s applicants must provide Chinese proficiency in addition to English. Only HSK 4 pass holders may enter major study, and a one-year Chinese preparation period may be assigned before the degree.

What do the 2027 fees show?

English engineering undergraduate tuition is CNY 180,000 per year. Master’s rates differ by category: science/engineering 39,000, business/economics/humanities 30,000, arts/medical/dentistry 50,000 and pharmacy 30,000 per year. Housing and other fees are separate.

When are the 2027 deadlines?

Undergraduate rounds run 1 November 2026–15 May 2027 and 16 May–30 June 2027. Postgraduate scholarship applications close 31 March 2027 at 17:00 Beijing time; self-funded applications close 15 May at 17:00. Scholarship-specific schedules may differ.

Which campus will I live on?

International accommodation is assigned across Xingqing, Yanta and iHarbour according to the annual policy and booked online. Published annual housing costs range CNY 8,000–19,000. Confirm the programme’s teaching campus and assigned room rather than assuming the admissions-office campus.

Does a professional master’s automatically permit overseas practice?

The catalogue identifies the native academic or professional degree awarded by XJTU. An overseas professional-registration or specialist-equivalence outcome is not established by that title. Assess the destination requirements for the exact qualification and training route.
