A C9 University Gave You Two Deadlines. Only One Is a Choice

一所C9高校给了你两个截止日，真正可选的只有一个

 

THE LEAD

导语

Yesterday, 1 November, Xi'an Jiaotong University — a founding member of China's C9 league — switched on the application system for its 2027 undergraduate intake. Batch One runs from 1 November 2026 to 15 May 2027; Batch Two follows from 16 May to 30 June. On paper the second window looks like a spare tyre. In practice, for most international applicants, it is more like a trapdoor.

昨天（11月1日），C9高校之一的西安交通大学开放了2027年本科国际学生申请系统。第一批次从2026年11月1日到2027年5月15日；第二批次紧随其后，5月16日至6月30日。纸面上，第二个窗口像一条备胎；对大多数国际申请者来说，它更像一个陷阱。

The 2027 brochure, published on the website of the university's International Education School on 28 October 2026, packs the essentials into two batches, one compulsory test and five scholarship channels. Here is how to read it.

2026年10月28日发布在西安交大国际教育学院官网的2027年招生简章，把所有要点装进了"两个批次、一门必考测试、五条奖学金通道"。这篇文章教你把它读明白。

WHAT XJTU IS ASKING FOR

西交大在要什么

Applicants must be no older than 25, hold a foreign ordinary passport, and have completed high school by enrolment; those under 18 need a guardian's letter of authorisation. For Chinese-taught programmes the language bar is HSK Level 4 or above, and applicants below it may enter XJTU's preparatory programme instead. For English-taught programmes — Intelligent Manufacturing Engineering, Energy and Power Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Automation, Materials Science and Engineering, plus the six-year MBBS and BDS programmes — the bar is IELTS 6.0, TOEFL 80 or Duolingo 110.

申请者年龄不超过25岁，持外国普通有效护照，入学前取得高中毕业及以上学历；未满18岁的须提供监护人委托书。中文授课项目的语言门槛是HSK四级及以上，暂未达标的可以先进入西安交大预科。英文授课项目——智能制造工程、能源与动力工程、电气工程及其自动化、材料科学与工程，以及六年制的临床医学（MBBS）和口腔医学（BDS）——门槛是雅思6.0、托福80或多邻国110。

Every undergraduate applicant must also sit the China Scholastic Competency Assessment (CSCA) and upload a valid score report; required subjects vary by programme in the admission catalogue. A useful shortcut hides in the catalogue: applicants to the Chinese-language (Business Chinese) and Chinese Literature programmes can skip the humanities-track Chinese test by presenting a valid HSK Level 4 score of 180 or above.

所有本科申请者都必须参加来华留学本科入学学业水平测试（CSCA）并上传有效成绩单，所需科目按招生目录因专业而异。目录里还藏着一个捷径：申请汉语言（商务汉语方向）、汉语言文学专业的申请者，如持有效期内HSK四级180分及以上的成绩报告，可免考文科中文科目。

The paper stack is conventional but strict: notarised diploma and transcripts, one recommendation letter from a principal or teacher with the referee's contact details, a study plan of at least 600 words, a passport valid beyond March 2028, a physical examination record valid for six months, and a non-criminal record certificate. Everything is submitted online; nothing is mailed.

材料清单常规但严格：经公证的学历证明和成绩单、一封由校长或老师出具且附推荐人联系方式的推荐信、不少于600字的学习计划、有效期晚于2028年3月的护照、六个月内有效的《外国人体格检查记录》、无犯罪记录证明。全部材料在线提交，无需邮寄。

TWO BATCHES, TWO REALITIES

两个批次，两种现实

Batch One spans 196 days — 1 November to 15 May. Batch Two spans 46 days — 16 May to 30 June. That difference is not administrative decoration. The scholarship channels attached to this intake all expire earlier than 30 June: the Chinese Government Scholarship, which for undergraduates accepts only Type A applications through the dispatching authority in your own country, typically closes between late January and February; the International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship "Chinese+" programme, the university's freshman scholarship and the Xi'an Belt-and-Road scholarship each run on their own earlier clocks. Shaanxi's Sanqin Scholarship and the university's commendation awards are one-off grants applied for after enrolment. As a rule, Batch Two applicants arrive after the money has gone.

第一批次196天（11月1日至5月15日），第二批次46天（5月16日至6月30日）。这个差别不是行政摆设。本次招生的几条奖学金通道，截止日都早于6月30日：中国政府奖学金本科仅接受A类申请，须经你所在国的留学生派遣部门受理，通常在1月底至2月间关闭；国际中文教师奖学金"中文+"项目、学校的新生奖学金、西安市"一带一路"奖学金各有更早的时间表；陕西省三秦奖学金和校级表彰奖励则是入校后才能申请的一次性奖励。走第二批次的申请者，原则上都是在钱发完之后才到。

Fees are modest by international standards. Chinese-taught programmes cost 22,000 yuan a year in engineering, 20,000 yuan in humanities and management, and 40,000 yuan in art. On-campus housing runs 8,000 to 19,000 yuan a year across the Xingqing, Yanta and Innovation Port campuses. The application fee is 500 yuan for self-funded applicants and 800 yuan for scholarship applicants, plus a 400 yuan registration fee — none refundable.

按国际标准，费用不高。中文授课项目：理工类每年22,000元，人文经管类20,000元，艺术类40,000元。校内住宿在兴庆、雁塔、创新港三个校区，每年约8,000至19,000元。报名费自费项目500元、奖学金项目800元，另有注册费400元——均不退还。

WHAT THE NUMBERS BEHIND THE BROCHURE SAY

简章背后的数字

XJTU traces its founding to 1896, which makes it one of China's oldest universities, and it now teaches 4,484 international students from 128 countries across 11 disciplinary fields. In the 2026 ShanghaiRanking of Chinese universities it placed 10th, and in 2024 it passed the national quality re-certification for international student education with the highest A+ grade. For an applicant, those numbers translate into something simpler: a top-10 comprehensive university whose international student body is large enough to carry real support infrastructure, and whose 22,000-yuan engineering tuition sits far below comparable C9 programmes.

西安交大的历史可追溯到1896年，是中国最古老的大学之一；如今在校国际学生4,484人，来自128个国家和地区，学科覆盖11大门类。在2026年上海软科中国大学排名中位列第10；2024年以A+最高等级通过来华留学生高等教育质量认证（再认证）。对申请者来说，这些数字意味着更简单的事：一所排名前十的综合性大学，国际学生规模大到足以支撑完善的服务体系，而22,000元的工科学费远低于同类C9项目。

Selection follows a fixed pipeline: the university screens materials, weighs CSCA scores and interview performance, then admits the strongest candidates; environmental design applicants must additionally bring a portfolio of their own drawings — sketches or colour work — to the interview. Admitted students register in early September 2027, and the university re-checks identity documents, original diplomas and language certificates at registration; failing that check cancels the admission. In other words, the file you submit in spring is not the end of scrutiny — it is the beginning.

录取走一条固定的流水线：学校先审材料，再看CSCA成绩和面试表现，择优录取；申请环境设计专业的考生面试时还须提交本人独立完成的作品集（含素描或色彩作品）。被录取的学生2027年9月初报到，报到时学校会复查身份信息、毕业证书原件和语言证书——复查不过，录取资格作废。换句话说，春天交上去的那套材料不是审查的终点，而是起点。

WHAT TO DO BEFORE 15 MAY

5月15日之前要做的事

• Register on the XJTU application system (isso.xjtu.edu.cn/recruit/login) and book your CSCA sitting early — the December session's registration opens 25 November, and scholarship applicants need score reports in hand well before embassy deadlines.
• 在西安交大报名系统（isso.xjtu.edu.cn/recruit/login）注册，并尽早预约CSCA场次——12月场报名11月25日开启，奖学金申请者的成绩单必须赶在使馆截止日之前就位。

• If you are applying for the Chinese Government Scholarship, remember it accepts only Type A for undergraduates: apply through your country's dispatching authority and put "Xi'an Jiaotong University" as the first choice in the application form.
• 申请中国政府奖学金的注意：本科仅接受A类，须经你所在国的派遣部门申请，并在申请表"申请院校"栏第一志愿填写"西安交通大学"。

• Check your passport today: it must remain valid beyond March 2028. Renewals take weeks — start before the application, not during it.
• 今天就检查护照：有效期须晚于2028年3月。换发需要数周，要在申请之前办，而不是申请中途办。

• Request your recommendation letter now: the referee's signature, email and phone number are required, and teachers disappear into exam season every December.
• 现在就去要推荐信：必须含推荐人签字、电子邮箱和电话，而老师们每年12月都会被考试季淹没。

• Build the 600-word study plan around your intended major and its CSCA subjects, and verify both in the 2027 admission catalogue rather than through forum posts.
• 围绕意向专业和它要求的CSCA科目来写600字学习计划，并以2027年招生目录核实，不要信论坛帖。

 

THE BOTTOM LINE

结语

The two dates in XJTU's brochure are not two chances at the same outcome. The first window buys time for scholarships, CSCA scores and a calm visa process; the second buys, in most cases, a self-funded seat and a rushed start. The application opened yesterday. Students who submit in November will spend May choosing between offers; students who wait for May will spend it hoping one window is still open. If you are comparing C9 programmes and unsure how CSCA, the Type A scholarship route and XJTU's two batches fit together, Originedu's advisors map these calendars every intake. All details defer to the official brochure on the website of the university's International Education School.

西交大简章里的两个日期，不是同一个结果的两次机会。第一个窗口为你买下奖学金、CSCA成绩和从容签证的时间；第二个窗口在多数情况下买到的是一个自费名额和仓促的开始。申请昨天已经开放。11月提交的人，5月在几份录取之间做选择；等到5月的人，5月只能祈祷还有窗口开着。如果你正在比较C9高校、还不清楚CSCA、A类奖学金路线和西交大两个批次如何拼在一起，Originedu的顾问每个招生季都在帮学生梳理这张日历。所有细节以学校国际教育学院官网发布的简章为准。
