Tips for Bangladeshi applicants
- Round 1 closes in about five weeks. If you need funding, start the CSC form, medical exam and recommendation letters now; see our CSC scholarship guide.
- Police clearance in Bangladesh can take weeks. If yours will be late, email Fudan's International Students Office before the deadline and explain.
- Start the CSCSE certification of your Bangladeshi degree early, because Fudan checks it at registration.
- If your bachelor's was taught and assessed in English, ask your university for a medium-of-instruction letter. See studying in China without IELTS.
Frequently asked questions
What is Fudan's CSC agency number?

How much is tuition?
Fudan gives a range of CNY 50,000 to 458,000 a year for full-time programmes. Ask the department for the exact fee.
Can I get a scholarship in Round 2?
Not the CSC or Shanghai Government scholarship, which are Round 1 only. The notice does not tie the Fudan University International Students' Scholarship to a round, but confirm with Fudan.
