Course Starting Dates
Not all degree courses start in autumn (September or October) - some start in the spring. Check the starting dates for the courses you are interested in on the 'Course details' section. Contact us (service@cucas.cn) for advice about when to start the online application. Normally you need to submit your application two months before the course starts and please be prepared to send your application early as vacancies might be limited.
Subject to approval
When browsing the courses on the website you may notice a course' starting date described as 'subject to approval'. This means either the university intends to offer the program depending on demand or that the existing course is undergoing an update, due to take effect. It is therefore possible that this course may not be applicable.
It is highly recommended that you contact us (service@cucas.cn) for further information about that course before applying.
Taking a year out?
If you want to take a year or a semester off before starting your course, check with us (admission@cucas.cn) to make sure that a deferred entry application will be accepted by the university.
