FUNDING

Scholarship options.

  • Xi’an City Belt and Road Scholarship

    RMB 15,000 for the first degree year for selected students from Belt and Road countries. Applicants need a high-school qualification, must be no older than 25, and must meet the programme admission requirements. Merit selection applies; other financial scholarships cannot be held at the same time.

  • Medical and dental funding

    The general freshman tuition-waiver award covers non-medical programmes. MBBS and BDS students should plan for the full fees. FirstLiners handles scholarship preparation alongside your application.

Scholarships depend on eligibility, selection and any required review. Plan for the full fees until an award is granted; fee subtotals do not include scholarship deductions.

BEFORE YOU APPLY

Entry requirements.

  • Age and citizenship

    Non-Chinese ordinary-passport holder, under 25 and in good health. Under 18 applicants require guardian authorization; relevant nationality cases must meet national and university rules.

  • Education

    High-school/senior-secondary qualification or advanced diploma. Graduating students must provide the final diploma before 1 September 2026.

  • English

    IELTS 6.0, TOEFL 80, Duolingo 110 or another equivalent accepted by XJTU. Native English speakers may be exempt after university assessment.

  • CSCA and selection

    MBBS requires Mathematics and Chemistry CSCA using English papers. Selection considers academic documents, CSCA and a comprehensive interview. FirstLiners coordinates the BDS-specific CSCA subjects separately.

  • MBBS and BDS have separate entry and CSCA checklists.
  • The general undergraduate tuition-waiver scheme excludes medical programmes. Any separate medical or dental award has its own eligibility rules.
YOUR APPLICATION FILE

Documents to prepare.

Clinical Medicine document checklist. Other degrees have their own requirements; FirstLiners coordinates your complete file.

  • Online application

    Prepare the XJTU international-student application with FirstLiners for coordinated online submission.

  • Notarized diploma

    Notarised high-school diploma. Other-language certificates need an official notarised Chinese/English translation. Current students may first supply school-issued pre-graduation proof; provide the final diploma by the registration deadline.

  • Notarized school transcripts

    All high-school courses and an explanation of the school’s grading scale; translations into Chinese/English must be notarized.

  • School-leaving/standardized results

    National unified examination or international standardized examination results, such as A-level or IBDP.

  • English language certificate

    IELTS 6.0, TOEFL 80, Duolingo 110 or another university-accepted equivalent. Submit the official certificate unless XJTU approves an exemption; native English speakers are assessed by the university rather than automatically waived.

  • CSCA report

    MBBS: Mathematics and Chemistry from English papers. Supply the scanned score report to FirstLiners. BDS has programme-specific subject requirements.

  • One school recommendation

    One recommendation from the high-school headmaster or a teacher. It must be signed and include both telephone and email contact details; a study plan does not replace this letter.

  • Study plan

    At least 600 words/characters in English or Chinese. Prepare the plan for the degree selected in your application; it is separate from the school recommendation, academic records and language evidence. Follow any university template provided through FirstLiners.

  • Passport

    Ordinary passport valid for at least six months beyond intended enrolment. Under-18 applicants require guardian authorization, and relevant nationality-history cases need evidence under national and university rules; FirstLiners obtains the exact supporting forms.

  • Medical examination

    Foreigner Physical Examination Record in Chinese or English. Complete all tests and attach a photograph with seal, the doctor’s opinion and signature, and the hospital seal. Valid for six months: arrange it against the intended submission date rather than using an expired report. Check that all required sections are completed.

  • Non-criminal record

    Certificate within its validity period.

  • Supporting documents

    Additional evidence where applicable. Upload clear scans, rather than phone photographs. Originals are checked at registration. FirstLiners coordinates the separate BDS document checklist.
