Central China Normal University Scholarships 2027 (Masters & PhD) With All Subject Options

CCNU also lists other scholarship routes, but their application windows differ. Start by identifying the route for your degree; then prepare the right evidence. In particular, doctoral applicants should distinguish an optional acceptance letter from a required supervisor signature.

Eligible non-Chinese applicants worldwide. Official information checked: 11 November 2026. An eligible Chinese preparatory year may also be funded; budget separately for travel and document preparation.

01Which CCNU scholarship route fits you?

The university’s direct postgraduate call is open; other routes need separate checks. The comparison below covers the named international scholarship families found in CCNU’s public listings.

Bachelor’s applicants should investigate Type A through their national nominating authority. The current U.S. embassy call, for example, accepts undergraduate applications and requires CSCA results; its rules are not a worldwide deadline or a CCNU admission guarantee. Prepare school records and language evidence while checking your own call.

02Who qualifies for the open postgraduate call?

Master’s applicants need a bachelor’s degree or equivalent and are generally no older than 35; PhD applicants need a master’s or equivalent and are generally no older than 40. Strong academic performance and good physical and mental health are required.

Chinese-taught programmes require HSK 5. English-taught programmes require IELTS 6.0 or TOEFL 85; previous English-medium degree evidence is accepted when standardized scores cannot be provided, while native English speakers are exempt. An alternative certificate still needs to demonstrate the language of instruction.

03What should master’s and PhD applicants prepare?

Build one consistent application file, then add the doctoral signature where applicable.

• Passport valid beyond February 2028; notarized highest diploma or official expected-graduation certificate; sealed transcripts from undergraduate study onward.
• Language proof; Chinese/English translations and notarization where required; two Chinese/English professor or associate-professor references.
• English-completed physical-examination form, valid six months; police clearance normally issued within six months before submission.
• Artwork for relevant programmes; Chinese guardian documents if under 18. Publications, awards and a separate supervisor acceptance letter are optional.

I would use the study-plan guide to connect previous preparation, your research question and a realistic timetable, while following CCNU’s template. For PhD study, start matching and contacting supervisors early so the signature does not become a last-minute obstacle.

04How do you apply through the correct route?

Master’s and PhD applicants using the open university route must submit to both systems.

1. Choose your programme. Read the 2027 programme catalogue and current postgraduate notice, including its templates. Confirm teaching language; PhD applicants should arrange the supervisor-signed plan.
2. Complete CSC. Submit through the CSC system using Type B and agency number 10511.
3. Complete CCNU. Register and submit the matching file in CCNU’s current portal. Retain both confirmations; monitor messages for review requests and decisions.
4. Using Type A instead? Follow your national authority’s instructions, agency code and deadline. The U.S. 2027/28 call illustrates this separate route. Ask CCNU about programme availability and any required pre-admission documentation.
5. Considering another award? Check the previous Silk Road call or spring teacher-scholarship notice for context; neither is a new open application window. For later teacher intakes, follow a fresh call and its recommending-institution requirements.

07What are the application deadlines?

Type A deadlines depend on nationality; the U.S. example closes on 15 February 2027. Silk Road’s previous call closed on 20 May 2026; its 2027 dates remain unverified. CCNU gives no closing hour for the open postgraduate call. Choose your route, request references and begin supervisor contact where needed.
