Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • Graduate entry requires the relevant prior qualification and programme-specific selection.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • The verified 2026 main-campus undergraduate route is Chinese-medium.
  • English-taught graduate and special programmes have their own language and admission criteria; do not advertise the whole undergraduate catalogue as English-taught.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • The verified undergraduate notice specifies registration in September 2026, now past.
  • Use the next-cycle brochure for the subsequent annual entry; graduate intakes and specialised programmes may follow different arrangements.

  • Both are closed.
  • No next-cycle undergraduate deadline is inferred from them.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • The 2026 undergraduate notice states that tuition will be announced after approval, so no numeric annual tuition is claimed.
  • Its RMB 800 application charge is not tuition.
  • Graduate fees are listed separately by programme, duration and total-versus-annual scope in the official 2026 schedule.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • Chinese Government, Beijing Government and Peking University scholarships exist, with route-specific selection and annual review.
