Program notes

Freshman scholarship: the 2026 guide confirms that all international degree students receive 100% first-year tuition coverage. School-leadership-confirmed policy: all first-year international degree students also receive living-cost support, so the first-year award covers tuition and living expenses. From the second year, merit scholarships are assessed using academic and daily performance: top 50% receive 100% tuition, next 30% receive 50%, and remaining 20% receive 30%. Chinese language students may apply for the Hunan Provincial Belt and Road Scholarship of CNY 15,000; the guide lists self-funded language tuition at CNY 5,000. Representative English-taught undergraduate options include Computer Science and Technology, International Economy and Trade, Mechanical Design Manufacturing and Automation, Civil Engineering, and Architecture.
