Tips for Bangladeshi applicants
- Most science, engineering and medical programmes need a supervisor letter. Email two or three XJTU professors this month with your CV and a short research idea.
- Do the medical check-up in January 2027 so it stays valid through the review.
- Start police clearance and notarisation now; XJTU rejects incomplete files.
- No IELTS? XJTU may approve other English evidence case by case, so ask first and read our guide to studying in China without IELTS.
- HSC students must sit the CSCA for 2027 entry; book early and check our China admission requirements.
