Liyuan International Scholarship at SZU — doctoral entrants, March 2027

Zulassungsvoraussetzungen

• For prospective international applicants to Shenzhen University doctoral programmes entering March 2027. These grants are listed in the new-admission brochure; admission does not guarantee an award, a particular tier or simultaneous receipt of multiple grants.
• Applicants must be non-Chinese citizens with valid foreign passports, healthy and of good conduct, and comply with Chinese laws and university regulations. A master’s degree or above is required, normally under age 40; final-year applicants may submit an expected-graduation certificate but must obtain the master’s degree before enrollment.
• Chinese-taught doctoral programmes require valid HSK5 at least 180; English-taught programmes require valid English proficiency certification. Recognized native speakers of the corresponding language may be exempted. Obtain a recommendation from a prospective supervisor before applying.
• The doctoral admission application window is 10 October–30 November 2026. The brochure does not publish a separate scholarship-only deadline or detailed award selection, quota and renewal timetable; this record therefore does not assign the admission deadline as a separate scholarship deadline.
• Upload master’s diploma/degree or expected-graduation proof, all postgraduate course transcripts, two professor/associate-professor recommendations with contacts, a Chinese/English statement of about 1,500 words, passport information page and photo, prospective-supervisor recommendation, language proof, a CV from primary school onward, physical-examination form, original non-criminal record plus Chinese translation, and a bank statement showing at least CNY 30,000 or equivalent in the applicant’s/legal guardian’s account.
• The passport must expire after 30 June 2027, and its information cannot change before registration. Documents outside Chinese/English need notarized translations; incomplete applications are not accepted, materials are not returned, and SZU may request supplements.
• The admission fee is CNY 400 or USD 60, paid before submission and non-refundable. Dormitory charges are payable by students: Yuehai CNY 2,400–8,000 per person/semester, Lihu CNY 750 per person/semester, plus water/electricity. Mandatory university-designated insurance is CNY 800 per academic year; registration requires its purchase. These charges are not described as separately waived by the listed grant.
• A recruited international doctoral student’s supervisor provides at least CNY 12,000 per year for research subsidies or academic exchanges. This is designated research support, not an additional unrestricted living stipend or a promise that all listed grants can be combined. Basic university support may continue for the first extended year only; the brochure excludes the same treatment from the second extended year.
