It is one of only two universities in the country with a fully English-taught bachelor's engineering track delivered at scale, and its new Innovation Harbour campus is one of the largest single university construction projects in Asia.

Why international students choose XJTU

• Study power, energy and high-voltage engineering with State Grid access
• One of the best-value C9 universities for international students
• Xi'an is the historic start of the Silk Road and a major student city

Programmes open to international students

Language requirements depend on the track: English. Confirm the exact requirement with the international office, because some departments within the same university set different thresholds.

Entry requirements in detail

Bachelor: high school diploma, XJTU entrance examination for English-taught engineering, IELTS 6.0 / TOEFL 80 or HSK 5 depending on track. Graduate: degree, transcripts, two references, study plan.

Deadlines, fees and how to apply

Application deadlines: Bachelor: January – April. Graduate: December – April.. The application fee is CNY 500. Applications are submitted through the university's own international admissions system — see the official international office link at the bottom of this page.

The document set is standard across Chinese universities: passport, notarised diploma and transcripts with certified translations, a study plan or research proposal, two recommendation letters for graduate programmes, the Foreigner Physical Examination Form, a police clearance certificate and, for scholarship applicants, a CSCA score report where required. Start with document authentication eight to ten weeks before the deadline.

Tuition and total cost

CNY 22,000–28,000 per year for bachelor's; CNY 30,000–45,000 for master's; MBBS around CNY 60,000 per year.

Xi'an is in the Northwest China region. A realistic student budget including accommodation, food, transport and insurance typically sits between CNY 2,100 and 7,000 per month depending on whether you live in a university dormitory and how far the campus is from the city centre.

Scholarships you can apply for

Chinese Government Scholarship, Confucius Institute Scholarship, Shaanxi Provincial Government Scholarship, XJTU President Scholarship.

The Chinese Government Scholarship requires a pre-admission document from a target university, which means the university application has to be completed before the CSC deadline. Apply to the university first, indicate every scholarship you are eligible for in the same form, and submit a separate CSC Type A application through your national embassy if its deadline allows.

Where you will study

XJTU teaches across 4 campuses. Several Chinese universities deliver programmes in more than one city, so confirm in writing which campus your programme uses before accepting an offer.

Academic strengths at XJTU

Faculty and research environment

The university employs around 4,900 academic staff. Around 40 national academy members. XJTU has China's largest power engineering and high-voltage research group, and its School of Management is triple-accredited.

Notable alumni

• Jiang Zemin — Engineer and statesman. Alumnus of the Jiaotong University electrical engineering programme in Shanghai.
• Qian Xuesen — Rocket scientist. Trained at the Jiaotong lineage in Shanghai.
• Xu Zongheng — Engineer. Alumnus and leader in Chinese power engineering.
• Zhang Limin — Technology executive. Former Cisco global vice-president; XJTU graduate.

How to strengthen your application

• Lead with the disciplines where XJTU is genuinely strong: Power Engineering & Engineering Thermophysics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering. A study plan that references specific research groups or courses carries far more weight than a general statement.
• If you are applying for a research degree, contact a prospective supervisor 8–12 months before the deadline with a specific proposal. For Chinese universities this is the single most decisive step.
• Submit the language evidence the programme actually asks for. If you are applying to an English-taught track, ask which language the examination papers are delivered in before you accept.
• Apply to more than one university. Chinese scholarship schemes are assessed by different committees and a rejection from one does not affect the others.

Always verify current requirements on the official Xi'an Jiaotong University international admissions site and on campuschina.org, since deadlines and tuition are revised each cycle.
