## Admissions

Select the exact degree and teaching language in the official international application system. Use the current international intake table for programme availability, fees, durations and undergraduate CSCA papers; confirm the next degree calendar separately.


## Why students choose it

- A public university with a documented applied academic orientation and international cooperation history.
- A verified international English portfolio with route-specific fees, durations and CSCA papers.
- Four-year UG routes and a distinct five-year Architecture route; master durations of 2.5 or three years are retained exactly.

## Things to consider

- The current 2026 international intake lists 12 English UG routes despite a generic institutional headline of 16. Generic or legacy programme lists do not automatically prove current admission.
- International Business’s separately numbered Globalization focus is retained under the parent while distinct qualification/school identity remains unproved.
- Chinese age and language threshold wording differs at boundary values from the English translation; confirm eligibility when exactly at a stated limit.

## Best fit for

- International applicants seeking an applied English route in engineering, computing, science, design or business.
- Applicants ready to prepare the programme’s specified CSCA papers and university-reviewed language evidence.
- Students who will confirm the exact campus, later-intake fees and housing arrangements before travel.

## Campus and city

ZUST operates Xiaoheshan and Anji campuses. Its official introduction describes an applied academic orientation and longstanding international, particularly Sino-German, cooperation. The 2026 international-arrival report records students arriving at both campuses across bachelor, master and non-degree levels. Teaching and registration locations should follow the actual offer; a postal address or a domestic admissions notice does not allocate every international cohort. The School of International Education provides admissions, student-affairs and teaching-affairs contact routes.

Xiaoheshan Campus is at 318 Liuhe Road in Hangzhou’s Xihu District; Anji Campus is at 1 Zhongde Road, Xiaoyuan Street, Anji County, Huzhou. These are two different study locations. The official university introduction situates Xiaoheshan near the Xixi Wetland area and describes Anji as the other main campus. The current English intake tables do not allocate each supported programme to a campus. Confirm the exact school, teaching location and registration address before booking travel or long-term housing. The Chinese International Business table explicitly notes Anji; that language-specific note is not automatically evidence for the English International Business route. Daily travel times and living budgets should be based on the actual placement, rather than the university guide’s general promotional drive-time estimates.

ZUST’s official introduction emphasises an applied approach informed by cooperation with German universities of applied sciences. Programme profiles describe project work, laboratory learning and discipline-specific practice, while business pages distinguish international classroom provision from separate cooperation or domestic pathways. These descriptions support comparison of learning approaches; they do not guarantee a placement, paid internship or foreign dual degree for every applicant. The current undergraduate intake covers robotics, computing, digital media technology, artificial intelligence, data science, civil engineering, architecture, food science, bioengineering, visual communication and business. Its exact CSCA requirements differ: Robotics, Civil Engineering and Architecture list Mathematics and Physics; the other supported English routes list Mathematics. The master table separately names Mechanical Engineering and Intelligent Manufacturing and Control Engineering, alongside computing, civil/chemical engineering, resources/environment, statistics, data science, physics and business routes. Broader canonical families retain the exact source programme title; a shared family does not erase the distinction in the current admissions table.


## Hostel, food and safety

The dated 2026 undergraduate guide quotes double-room accommodation at CNY 600 per bed per month. The separate fees page lists Tingsong dormitory singles at CNY 1,200/month and doubles at CNY 600/month, plus CNY 1,000 accommodation deposit and CNY 1,000 prepaid electricity. Confirm the applicable building, campus, room, charging period and refund terms; the general page does not guarantee every category for each cohort. Housing is separate from annual tuition. Do not multiply a monthly reference by an invented contract period or treat the tuition seat fee as a housing deposit.

The university’s living guide, published in February 2023, describes public dormitory kitchens and laundry rooms and identifies a Muslim restaurant on Tingsong canteen’s second floor. These are dated named-building references, not a guarantee for every current room or Anji cohort. Confirm present access, dining and dietary arrangements with the assigned campus. No current allergy-safe or vegetarian service guarantee is established; food costs are separate.

The university’s published emergency guidance directs students to report emergencies to police and the International Students Affairs Center, and to follow campus and traffic rules. Admission requires health and conduct documents. Obtain the assigned campus’s current arrival and emergency instructions. No campus crime rate or blanket personal-safety guarantee is established by these sources.

The current staff page identifies 谭小慧, Director of Admissions Development, at tanxiaohui@zust.edu.cn. The central admission office also lists internationaloffice@126.com. Students Traffic can help compare published routes and prepare university questions; ZUST decides admission, language exemptions, campus placement and scholarships. No existing agency appointment is asserted.


## Frequently asked questions

### Which English undergraduate programmes are supported?

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.

### How long are the degrees?

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.

### Are all current English master rows separate awards?

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.

### Do I need CSCA?

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.

### What English scores are published?

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.

### Can English evidence be waived?

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.

### What academic and age conditions apply?

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.

### What are the annual tuition fees?

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.

### What other charges are listed?

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.

### Which campus will I attend?

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.

### What accommodation prices are published?

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.

### When should I apply for the next degree intake?

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.

### Who handles admission and scholarship questions?

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.
