BFA 2027 Master's: November 13 Deadline and Tiered Tuition

北京电影学院 2027 来华留学硕士开放申请：11 月 13 日截止，导演、摄影须来校面试

 

Beijing Film Academy has opened applications for its 2027 international master's programs taught in Chinese, and the window is short: applications close on November 13, 2026. If you are aiming for a career in directing, cinematography, performance or film production, this is one of the most competitive — and most specialized — graduate options in China, and it runs on a different calendar from most universities.

北京电影学院 2027 年来华留学硕士研究生（中文授课）申请已经开放，而且窗口期很短：申请将于 2026 年 11 月 13 日截止。如果你的目标是导演、摄影、表演或影视制作方向，这是中国最具竞争力、也最"专才"的研究生选项之一，它的申请节奏和大多数大学都不一样。

The announcement was published by BFA's College of International Education in October 2026. Unlike most Chinese universities that use an online application portal, BFA asks applicants to email a complete package of documents to liuxuesheng@bfa.edu.cn, with the subject line "nationality + Chinese name + school/department". Materials must be clear color scans made with a scanner — photos taken with a phone or camera are not accepted.

这份简章由北京电影学院国际学院于 2026 年 10 月发布。与多数中国大学使用网申系统不同，北电要求申请者把整套材料通过电子邮件发送至 liuxuesheng@bfa.edu.cn，邮件主题注明"国籍 + 中文姓名 + 报考院系"。所有原件材料必须是扫描仪生成的清晰彩色扫描件，手机或相机翻拍的照片不被接受。

What the Academy Is Looking For

简章划出的门槛：语言、学位与专业数量

The language bar is the first thing to check. Applicants must hold a New HSK Level 5 certificate with a total score of 210 or above — noticeably higher than the HSK 4 level many Chinese-taught programs accept. If your HSK 5 score is below 210, you will need to retake the test before you can submit a valid application.

语言门槛是第一道关卡。申请者必须持有新 HSK 五级证书，且总分达到 210 分以上——明显高于许多中文授课项目只要求 HSK 四级的水平。如果你的 HSK 五级成绩不足 210 分，需要先重考，再提交有效申请。

Each applicant may apply to at most two programs, but you cannot choose two research directions within the same school or department. Applying to two programs means preparing two complete sets of application materials and paying the application fee twice: 800 RMB per program, payable by bank transfer with the note "nationality + Chinese name + program". The fee is not refunded if you apply but do not attend the assessment.

每位申请者最多可申请两个专业，但同一院系内的不同研究方向不得兼报。同时申请两个专业，意味着要准备两套完整的申请材料，并缴纳两份报名费：每个专业 800 元人民币，通过银行转账缴纳，转账时备注"国籍 + 中文姓名 + 专业"。申请后不参加考核者，报名费不予退还。

 

How the Selection Works

两轮考核：初审转院系，复试定去留

Selection runs in two stages. In the first stage, the College of International Education screens eligibility and forwards qualified files to the academic schools by the end of November 2026. The schools then evaluate your academic record, Chinese proficiency, professional background and creative potential, and shortlist candidates for interviews.

选拔分两个阶段。第一阶段，国际学院对申请资格和材料进行初审，并于 2026 年 11 月底前把符合条件者的材料转送到各报考院系；各院系随后对申请者的毕业院校、HSK 证书、专业水平、学术能力与发展潜力进行综合评估，选出进入面试复试的候选人。

The interview round is scheduled for March–April 2027, and this is where BFA differs from almost every other program: applicants to the Directing Department and the Cinematography Department must attend their interview on campus in person, including a practical skills test. All other schools interview online. Admission results will be released from late June 2027.

面试复试拟于 2027 年 3 至 4 月进行，这也是北电与几乎所有其他项目不同的一点：报考导演系和摄影系的考生必须来校参加线下面试，包括专业实践能力测试；其余院系均采用线上面试。录取结果拟于 2027 年 6 月下旬起陆续发放。

What It Costs

三档学费，加上不低的隐性开销

Tuition is tiered by department. Directing, Cinematography and Performance charge 60,000 RMB per year; the Schools of Image and Media, Fine Arts, Animation, Sound, and Digital Media charge 56,000 RMB per year; and the Humanities Division and the School of Management charge 51,000 RMB per year. Under school rules, tuition is paid in full at the start of each academic year — students who receive approval to pay late must first pay 50 percent, and the deferral cannot exceed one month.

学费按院系分三档：导演系、摄影系、表演学院每学年 60,000 元；影像传媒学院、美术学院、动画学院、声音学院、数字媒体学院每学年 56,000 元；人文学部和管理学院每学年 51,000 元。按学校规定，学费须在每学年开学时一次付清——经学校同意缓交者须先支付全额学费的 50%，且缓交最长期限不超过一个月。

Beyond tuition, budget for the mandatory medical insurance of 800 RMB per academic year (no insurance, no registration), housing — a move-in-ready twin room on the Haidian campus costs 80 RMB per bed per day, while the Huairou campus charges 10,000 RMB per bed per year — plus food, materials and equipment. Students who live off campus must register with the local police within 24 hours of signing a lease.

学费之外还要预留几笔固定开销：必须购买的医疗保险为每学年 800 元（不购买将不予注册）；住宿方面，海淀校区提供可拎包入住的双人间，每床每天 80 元，怀柔校区双人间为每床每年 10,000 元；此外还有伙食、创作材料和器材费用。选择校外住宿的学生，须在租住房屋后 24 小时之内到当地公安机关办理登记手续。

What To Do Now

现在就该做的五件事

 

1. Check your HSK 5 score against the 210 threshold. If you are at Level 5 but below 210, register for the next available HSK session immediately — scores must be in hand before November 13. If you only hold HSK 4, a 2027 application is realistically out of reach; plan a preparatory year instead.

第一，对照 210 分检查你的 HSK 五级成绩。 如果已有五级证书但分数不足 210，请立即报名最近一场 HSK 考试——成绩必须在 11 月 13 日前拿到。如果手里只有四级，2027 年这一轮基本赶不上，建议改走预科路线。

2. Assemble the document package early. You need the application form (typed, not handwritten), passport scan valid for at least three months after enrollment, degree certificate with its verification report, official transcript, HSK certificate, a 295×413-pixel photo under 200 KB, two recommendation letters from professors in your field, and a personal statement of about 1,500 Chinese characters describing your research plan.

第二，尽早备齐材料包。 需要提交：申请表（电脑填写，手写无效）、入学后三个月内仍有效的护照复印件、学位证书及认证报告、毕业院校正式成绩单、HSK 证书、295×413 像素且小于 200KB 的证件照、两封所申请专业领域教授或副教授的推荐信，以及约 1500 字、用中文撰写并重点介绍研究计划的个人陈述。

3. Mind the two-program rule when budgeting. Two applications means two sets of scans, two 800 RMB fees and two transfers with the correct payment note — an incorrectly annotated transfer can invalidate your registration, so copy the bank details exactly.

第三，按"最多两个专业"的规则做好预算。 申请两个专业就要准备两套扫描件、缴两笔 800 元报名费，且每笔转账都要按"国籍 + 中文名 + 专业"正确备注——备注错误可能导致报名无效，请逐字核对银行账户信息。

4. Plan for travel if you are applying to Directing or Cinematography. The on-campus interview in spring 2027 means you should hold a passport ready for a China visa, watch for the interview notice, and book travel as soon as the schedule is confirmed.

第四，报导演系或摄影系要提前规划行程。 2027 年春季的来校线下面试意味着你要提前备好可办签证的护照，留意面试通知，并在时间确定后尽快订好机票和住宿。

5. Remember the visa and insurance steps after admission. With an Admission Notice and JW201/JW202 form you will apply for an X1 visa (for programs over six months), then convert it to a residence permit within 30 days of arrival — and buy the 800 RMB-per-year insurance on registration day, since unregistered insurance blocks enrollment.

第五，录取后别漏了签证和保险两步。 凭录取通知书和 JW201/JW202 表申请来华学习签证，学习时长超过 6 个月须办 X1 签证，入境后 30 天内要换成学习类居留许可；报到当天即可购买每年 800 元的医疗保险，未按规定购买保险将无法办理注册。

BFA's 2027 intake is a narrow, high-stakes window — the deadline is just two weeks away. If the HSK 5 threshold or the portfolio requirements look out of reach this cycle, an Originedu advisor can help you map a preparatory-year route or compare film and media programs with more flexible language requirements, so that 2028 becomes a realistic target rather than a rushed one.

北电 2027 年这一轮申请窗口窄、门槛高，距离截止只剩两周。如果 HSK 五级门槛或作品要求这一轮赶不上，Originedu 的顾问可以帮你规划预科路线，或对比语言要求更灵活的影视传媒类项目，让 2028 年成为从容准备后的目标，而不是仓促赶考。
