Bachelor programmes normally last 4 to 6 academic years, mainly Chinese-taught, with some English-taught options. For 2026, the bachelor application period was 2025-12-01 to 2026-02-28; selected majors used a catalogue deadline of 2026-05-31. Scholarship applications followed their own scholarship schedules and were not the same as the regular application window. Bachelor admission notices were available from late June 2026, with online pre-registration expected in late August 2026 and on-site registration in early September 2026.

Bachelor applicants complete the online form and upload documents clearly and completely. Required materials include the passport information page with passport expiry after 2027-03-01, senior high-school diploma or pre-graduation/student-status certificate, full senior high-school transcripts, international standardized test results or home-country university entrance exam results if applicable, language certificate, CSCA report, an approximately 800-word personal statement, two recommendation letters from high-school teachers, academic award certificates if applicable, nationality-related documents, guardian guarantee for applicants under 18, and ZJU International Student Application Commitments.

ZJU's 2026 bachelor, master and doctoral guides all treat programme catalogues as updateable attachments and warn that listings may change. The bachelor catalogue is separated into Chinese-taught and English-taught programmes. The master and doctoral catalogues are also separated by Chinese-taught and English-taught programmes and include school, programme name, research direction or notes, duration, teaching language, tuition, application deadline and additional requirements. These catalogues support programme browsing, but exact programme requirements still need programme-by-programme checking against the catalogue and school rules.

The official fee page lists baseline tuition: bachelor programmes RMB 19,800/year for philosophy, literature and history; RMB 24,800/year for economics, business, law, education, science, engineering and agriculture; RMB 29,800/year for medical science and art; and RMB 42,800/year for MBBS. Master tuition is RMB 22,800/year for philosophy, literature and history; RMB 28,800/year for economics, business, law, education, science, engineering and agriculture; and RMB 32,800/year for medical science and art. Doctoral tuition is RMB 29,800/year, RMB 34,800/year and RMB 39,800/year for the same three groups. English-taught doctoral, master, general advanced, senior advanced and research-scholar programmes add RMB 8,000/academic year; special programmes follow the application guide and admission notice.

The bachelor, master and doctoral application fee is RMB 800, paid online and non-refundable; Chinese Language and Culture programmes list an RMB 400 application fee. Degree guides state that application fee and tuition should preferably be paid through the online application system; if online payment fails, applicants remit to the university bank account and upload the remittance voucher in the system. Degree students must purchase comprehensive medical insurance in mainland China at RMB 800/academic year; students who fail to purchase it as required cannot register for the new semester.

The 2026 bachelor guide lists CSC Bilateral Program, Zhejiang Government Scholarship, scholarships for ZJU-UoE Institute dual-degree English-taught programmes, scholarship for Global Communication and Management Program, and MBBS scholarship. CSC Bilateral Program is only open to Chinese-taught programmes; applicants contact the dispatching authority for overseas study in their home country and select Zhejiang University as the first preference institution. Zhejiang Government Scholarship is also only open to Chinese-taught programmes and requires uploading its application form with other ZJU application materials.

The degree guides refer accommodation arrangements to the International College Current Student-Accommodation page and later notices. The New Student FAQ says autumn-intake students should follow the International College website, with booking notices usually released in early August; Hangzhou-campus students who successfully book online can go directly to the assigned dormitory building at registration. Hangzhou accommodation information covers Yuquan, Zijingang and Huajiachi; Haining, Zhoushan, Yiwu and Ningbo campuses use their own channels or contacts. The university does not provide family accommodation.

ZJU first reviews application materials. Applicants who pass preliminary review attend video interviews arranged by academic schools. Bachelor admission is competitive based on senior high-school academic performance, language proficiency, interview performance and related factors. Master and doctoral admission is competitive based on research ability, academic performance, language proficiency and video-interview performance. Admission and interview information is released through the International College site, school sites, the application system and email.

Bachelor applicants who receive a Pre-Admission Notice must prepay the first-year tuition in the application system within the stated period; otherwise pre-admission is cancelled. ZJU reserves study places only for students who have prepaid the first academic year's tuition. If a student gives up enrolment for personal reasons, or is disqualified because registration requirements are not met, the prepaid first-year tuition is not refunded. The master and doctoral guides also state that tuition paid by self-funded international students is non-refundable in principle.

The degree guides state that online pre-registration was expected in late August 2026 and on-site registration in early September 2026, with exact dates to be announced later on the International College site. New students must register at the university within the specified period. Original graduation certificates, degree certificates and language-proficiency certificates are checked at on-site registration; students unable to provide the corresponding originals are disqualified from enrolment. Students may not hold more than one student status at Chinese universities at the same time.
