Important dates

Tips for Bangladeshi applicants

• Contact a ZJNU supervisor early. A supervisor acceptance letter is on the list for every applicant, and the Chinese guide asks for the supervisor's signature on the study plan (the English guide mentions it only for PhD), so confirm which applies to you.
• Book your English or HSK test now; the minimum scores differ by programme and some programmes need two tests.
• Check your passport validity. It must run past 28 February 2028, and Bangladeshi passport renewal can take weeks.
• Ask your university early for certified transcripts and notarised copies; read the admission requirements and the ZJNU university page.
• Compare timing with other China intakes and deadlines so you can apply to more than one place.
