Built only from what the listing states. Lines marked (our advice) are ours.
A long application, by our reading.

1. CHECK YOURSELF AGAINST WHAT THEY ASK
[ ] a bachelor's degree already held, or one you will complete before you start
[ ] open to international candidates and to applicants from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Applicants from partner universities must first pass their own university's internal pre-selection.
[ ] study is in Beijing, in English, for one or two years

2. WHAT TO GET READY
[ ] CV or resume (One or two pages. No CV yet? Our CV starter builds a plain one from your answers.)
[ ] Transcripts (Ask your school early. Offices can take weeks.)
[ ] Certificates or degree copies (Scan or photograph them clearly, in good light, flat.)
[ ] Essay, statement or proposal (Answer the question they ask, in your own words, with real examples.)
It also names something beyond these; read their words below.
In their words: "An online portal application with a personal statement, a statement of research interest, a CV, official transcripts, diplomas or enrolment certificates and two letters from professors. An English test report is needed unless you are a native speaker or took an English-taught degree."

3. DATES
- Closes 30 November 2026, in 39 days.
- Ask your school for transcripts by 16 November 2026, two weeks before it closes. Others need time to write and send. (our advice)
- Aim to send it by 27 November 2026. Websites slow down near a deadline, and data runs out. (our advice)

A job never asks you to pay to apply. A listing that charges shows the fee above, and it is paid only to the organisation. If anyone asks for money any other way, stop, and tell us: hello@qualifyafrica.com
