Question 1

Which English undergraduate programmes are supported?

Accepted Answer

The dated 2026 international intake lists 12: Robotics Engineering, Computer Science and Technology, Digital Media Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science and Big Data Technology, Civil Engineering, Architecture, daily living Science and Engineering, Bioengineering, Visual Communication Design, International Economics and Trade, and International Business. The general headline of 16 describes a broader institutional total.

Question 2

How long are the degrees?

Accepted Answer

Architecture is five years; the other supported English UG routes are four years. English International Business and Applied Statistics masters are 2.5 years; the other current English master rows are three years. These exact row durations are used instead of choosing the minimum from a general 2.5–3-year range.

Question 3

Are all current English master rows separate awards?

Accepted Answer

The current table has 13 numbered English rows. International Business appears both as a parent and with a Globalization of Business Operation and Management focus, at the same fee and duration. The focus is preserved within one parent until distinct award or admissions-route identity is proved; it is not automatically counted as an additional degree.

Question 4

Do I need CSCA?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the current undergraduate guide requires international UG applicants to take CSCA. Robotics Engineering, Civil Engineering and Architecture list Mathematics and Physics. The other current English UG rows list Mathematics. The table does not establish which language version of each examination paper to select; follow the university’s current instructions.

Question 5

What English scores are published?

Accepted Answer

The Chinese UG guide specifies IELTS at least 5.5 or TOEFL iBT at least 80; the Chinese PG guide specifies IELTS at least 6.0 or TOEFL iBT at least 85. Other English evidence or the ZUST entrance test is described. The English translations use “over”, so applicants at boundary scores should obtain confirmation rather than assume a stricter or looser rule.

Question 6

Can English evidence be waived?

Accepted Answer

The guide describes university-reviewed exemptions based on native/official language, previous English-medium study or equivalent evidence, with wording differences between Chinese and English versions. An applicant should obtain the university’s acceptance of the specific evidence. Teaching in English does not itself waive CSCA for UG admission.

Question 7

What academic and age conditions apply?

Accepted Answer

UG applicants need high-school graduation or equivalent; masters need a bachelor’s degree or equivalent. Chinese guide wording says no older than 35 for UG and 45 for PG, while the English text says under those ages. Confirm boundary-age cases. Under-18 applicants require legal guardian documents in China; nationality and conduct review also apply.

Question 8

What are the annual tuition fees?

Accepted Answer

Published 2026 English UG rates are CNY 18,000 for the two business routes, CNY 21,000 for Architecture, CNY 24,000 for Visual Communication Design and CNY 20,000 for the other listed English UG routes. All current English master rows quote CNY 25,000 per academic year. Later-intake rates require confirmation.

Question 9

What other charges are listed?

Accepted Answer

The application fee is CNY 400 and non-refundable. The degree seat fee is CNY 3,000, described as non-refundable prepaid tuition, so it should not be counted as a second annual tuition charge. The guide lists insurance at CNY 800 per academic year. Housing, daily living and personal costs are additional.

Question 10

Which campus will I attend?

Accepted Answer

ZUST operates Xiaoheshan in Hangzhou and Anji in Huzhou. Current English programme tables do not allocate each route. The 2026 international-arrival report confirms both campuses receive international students, but does not identify every English route’s venue. Confirm your offer; do not transfer a Chinese-language route’s explicit Anji note to its English counterpart.

Question 11

What accommodation prices are published?

Accepted Answer

The 2026 UG guide lists CNY 600 per bed per month for a double room. The general Tingsong fees reference lists singles CNY 1,200/month and doubles CNY 600/month, plus separate deposit and prepaid-electricity references. Ask which campus and room categories are available for the cohort. A monthly reference does not establish an annual contract or universal guarantee.

Question 12

When should I apply for the next degree intake?

Accepted Answer

The reviewed degree guides are for 2026 and do not establish a future programme-specific deadline or intake month. A newer 2027 spring notice concerns non-degree study. Ask the admissions office for the next degree calendar and any earlier scholarship deadline; do not substitute third-party dates or non-degree schedules.

Question 13

Who handles admission and scholarship questions?

Accepted Answer

The official staff page lists Director of Admissions Development 谭小慧 at tanxiaohui@zust.edu.cn; the central admission office lists internationaloffice@126.com. The university publishes scholarship categories, but participation and awards require scheme-specific confirmation. Students Traffic can compare public information; only ZUST determines admission, exemptions, campus and awards.
