- Bachelor's applicants should book a CSCA sitting now; a score arriving after 6 January 2027 is likely to miss this intake.
- Ask your bank for a solvency certificate dated within six months, and apply for police clearance early.
- Spring timelines are short. Plan for a visa appointment in January or February 2027 with our China student visa guide, or compare start dates on our China intakes page.
