This opportunity is especially relevant for applicants seeking to study in China with strong academic support in agriculture, forestry, life sciences, environmental studies, engineering, and related disciplines, while benefiting from government and university-backed funding options.
Why This Opportunity Matters for 2026 Applicants?
FAFU’s 2026 admission call combines degree admission and scholarship consideration under one streamlined process, making it easier for international students to plan ahead. Applicants can pursue Chinese-taught or English-taught programmes while competing for highly supportive funding routes, including national and provincial scholarships. With a clear timeline and defined criteria, this intake is ideal for candidates preparing early for September–October 2026 enrollment.

The funding support generally includes:
