Harbin Institute of Technology CSC Scholarship | Fully Funded

Harbin Institute of Technology CSC Scholarship supports international students pursuing master’s and PhD degrees in China. Its full award includes tuition, on-campus accommodation, a living allowance and medical insurance. The published 2026 round has closed, and a new 2027 application window was not confirmed during the November 1, 2026 review. Use this guide to prepare your course choice and documents while waiting for the next official announcement.

HIT’s graduate scholarship route is different from a general admission application. Consult the scholarship page as well as the program listing when a new call appears. Your course choice, teaching language and research plan should form one consistent application.

HIT scholarship status and key facts

• Host: Harbin Institute of Technology, China.
• Study levels: master’s and PhD.
• Funding route: Chinese Government Scholarship, Type B.
• University code: 10213.
• Latest published final deadline reviewed: February 20, 2026, now closed.
• 2027 deadline: await a confirmed university announcement.

The old notice opened applications on November 1, 2025, with two closing stages. Those dates belong to the 2026 intake. They should not be moved forward by one year and presented as a confirmed new call.

Build your preparation schedule around tasks rather than an assumed deadline. Study the course requirements now, speak with referees and draft your research ideas. Once HIT publishes the next notice, add its actual dates and check for any changed requirements.

Degree programs and course selection

The scholarship page provides three official major lists. Choose the file for the degree and teaching language you intend to study:

• CSC master’s degree programs taught in Chinese.
• CSC master’s degree programs taught in English.
• Doctoral degree programs.

Download the major lists from HIT’s official scholarship page. Confirm the exact program name and school before selecting a course in the application system. A course available for ordinary admission should not automatically be treated as scholarship eligible.

Fields shown on the graduate admissions page

• Management.
• Materials Science.
• Civil Engineering.
• Mechanical Engineering.
• Electronics.
• Chemical Engineering.

These are examples named on the official master’s admissions page, not a confirmed 2027 CSC major list. Match your final choice against the scholarship-specific catalog when the next call appears.

In the published notice, most master’s programs take three years. Management and Instrumentation Science and Engineering have two-year options, while the Faculty of Computing is listed at 2.5 years. Doctoral study normally takes four years. Confirm the duration again when the next catalog is released.

Read the work of possible supervisors before sending an enquiry. A short message that connects your previous project to their research is easier to assess than a long request sent without a clear topic.

“Our professor email guide can help you introduce your academic background and ask about supervision in a clear, focused way.”

Scholarship coverage and costs to prepare for

The official funding page lists the full-award benefits below. Your final scholarship notice sets the approved study period and conditions.

• Tuition: full coverage for the approved scholarship period.
• Accommodation: on-campus dormitory support.
• Living allowance: CNY 3,000 per month for master’s students or CNY 3,500 for doctoral students; payments begin after arrival.
• Medical insurance: comprehensive coverage, listed at CNY 800 per academic year in the reviewed notice.

Living and insurance support

Treat these as the published baseline and recheck the new award terms when the next intake is announced.

Application fee

HIT lists a non-refundable application fee of CNY 400 or USD 60 in the reviewed notice. Consult the university’s current payment instructions before sending money. Keep the receipt and avoid relying on account details copied into an old blog post.

Budget before travel

Prepare a personal budget for the period before registration. Documents, travel arrangements and other personal needs can involve advance costs. Read the final funding letter carefully and ask the admissions office about any expense that is not clearly addressed.

Eligibility, language and application documents

For this graduate route, the notice requires non-Chinese citizenship and suitable health. Master’s applicants need a bachelor’s degree and must be under 35; doctoral applicants need a master’s degree and must be under 40. Conflicting scholarship benefits are not permitted.

Language requirements

English options in the notice are TOEFL 80 or IELTS Academic 6.0 with no component below 5.5, or an accepted previous English-medium instruction certificate. Chinese entry lists HSK 4 with 180 or a permitted Chinese-medium certificate. An IELTS exemption is conditional, not universal. The general graduate admissions pages list HSK 4 with 210, while the scholarship page shows 180; confirm the applicable threshold with HIT before relying on the lower score.

Prepare the core documents

• CSC form and passport.
• Degree certificate and academic transcripts.
• Language evidence.
• Study plan of at least 1,500 words.
• Two academic recommendations.
• Recent physical examination and non-criminal record.
• Application-fee receipt.
• Portfolio or additional supporting material where applicable.

A supervisor acceptance letter is optional but encouraged in the reviewed notice. Doctoral proposals need the Chinese supervisor’s signature. Use the university’s templates and confirm their requirements when the next call opens.

How to prepare for the next HIT CSC application

1. Wait for the confirmed new scholarship notice and check the major lists.
2. Choose a course and organize the required language and academic evidence.
3. Prepare the study plan and contact a suitable supervisor where needed.
4. Follow the current instructions for CSC Type B and HIT code 10213.
5. Complete the university application and required payment process.
6. Review both application records and monitor your email for instructions.

Use the official HIT application portal when the relevant application window opens. Its process uses both the CSC and university systems; a CSC submission alone does not complete HIT’s requirements.

Keep your passport details, course selection and degree dates consistent across the forms. Make sure each scan is readable and complete. Store the submitted forms, payment receipt and application numbers together so that follow-up requests are easier to handle.
