01/ 11Overview

A remarkable place to begin.

Founded in 1953, ZJUT is a public university with roots in chemical engineering. It has Zhaohui and Pingfeng campuses in Hangzhou and Moganshan in Deqing. This guide covers its international bachelor catalogue; the published degree-housing options are at Pingfeng, while teaching-campus allocations are not given by major.

Explore ZJUT’s story and strengths

From chemical school to university

Established in 1953, with earlier roots in the Zhejiang Intermediate School of Technology founded in 1910, the institution developed through successive chemical and engineering colleges. It adopted its current name in 1993.

Engineering at the core

ZJUT is jointly supported by Zhejiang Province and the Ministry of Education. Chemical engineering anchors its research identity; its international bachelor catalogue also includes computing, pharmacy, business, design and humanities.

Three campuses, one international catalogue

Zhaohui and Pingfeng are in Hangzhou; Moganshan is in Deqing, Huzhou. The current accommodation page places degree students at Pingfeng, but the international bachelor guide does not assign teaching campuses by major or establish a separate Moganshan admission route. Follow the campus in your admission arrangements. The independent Zhijiang College is outside this guide.

  • An established engineering tradition

    Study chemical, mechanical, electrical or civil engineering at a university built around engineering education and applied research.

  • A dedicated international community

    The International College supports admissions and student life for a community of more than 1,500 international students.

  • Hangzhou beyond the classroom

    Explore a city of technology businesses, historic neighbourhoods and lake scenery, with leafy Pingfeng near the Xiaohe hills.

02/ 11Language requirements

What language do you need?

Chinese language HSK 4 · 180+ For Chinese-taught degree entry Scores, alternatives & exam details

Four named exceptions
Chinese-taught Computer Science and Technology, Software Engineering, Food Science and Engineering, and Food Quality and Safety require HSK 5.

Accepted alternatives

  • Proof that all compulsory courses in both junior and senior high school were taught in Chinese can replace HSK.

English language IELTS 5.5 / TOEFL 60 For English-taught degree entry Scores, alternatives & exam details
English-taught entry
IELTS 5.5 or TOEFL 60 is an accepted route. The guide does not publish component-score requirements.

From application to arrival.

Step 01

Choose & prepare

Choose your degree and teaching language, then arrange the required CSCA and language evidence. English-taught applicants should give a first and second programme choice.

Documents that deserve an early start

Application materials

CSCA & language evidence

All applicants · exemptions apply

Prepare the papers for your exact degree and the required HSK or English evidence. Arrange results early enough for the application; language-certificate exemptions do not waive CSCA.

School certificates & transcripts

All applicants

Obtain your high-school diploma and complete senior-high transcript, with class rank or percentile if available. Graduating students may use a pre-graduation certificate, then supply the final diploma before registration.

Study plan & recommendation letters

CSC Silk Road applicants only

Write a study plan of more than 1,000 Chinese characters or English words and obtain two letters from professors or associate professors, in Chinese or English. These are scholarship-specific requirements, not a general degree checklist.

All other required documents

  • Online form and ID photograph

    Complete the application form and upload your ID photo.

  • Ordinary passport

    Provide the personal-information page and all visa and stamp pages. The 2026 guide requires at least two years of remaining validity.

  • Health certificate

    Submit a health certificate issued within six months. Scholarship applicants must use the required complete medical form, with physician signature, hospital stamp and sealed photograph.

  • No-criminal-record certificate

    Provide a valid certificate. The CSC Silk Road checklist requires it to have been issued within six months of application.

  • Signed admission commitment

    Complete and hand-sign the ZJUT International Student Admission Commitment Form.

  • Previous study in China, if applicable

    Provide study certificates and transcripts from your previous institutions in China.

  • Nationality evidence, if applicable

    Former Chinese citizens need loss-of-nationality, household-registration cancellation and foreign-citizenship evidence. Applicants with Chinese parentage need birth-nationality and the parent’s prior overseas permanent-residence evidence; both groups need the required entry/exit records.

  • Guardian documents, if applicable

    The general age rule is 18–25, but the 2026 checklist also requests a guardian guarantee for applicants under 18 on 1 September 2026. This checklist item does not establish an age waiver; the English version additionally requests notarized parental guardianship authorization.

  • Additional examinations and documents

    ZJUT may request supplementary evidence or an online examination or interview. Art and design applicants need an artistic foundation; the general guide does not mandate a portfolio, personal statement or video.

Documents must be in Chinese or English; other languages need notarized translations. Upload scans and bring originals for registration. The dated requirements above belong to the 2026 undergraduate guide.

Best for
Students wanting university-managed accommodation. Match your room and teaching-campus arrangements to the offer; the guide does not publish a bachelor-by-campus allocation.
Plan for
Budget for utilities, deposits and any air-conditioning charges. Optional bedding costs RMB 660. The accommodation page and older regulations quote different room rates; the calculator uses the higher current admissions-page double-room rate.

Locations
Compare rentals around the campus in your admission arrangements: central Zhaohui or the Pingfeng / Xiaohe area in western Hangzhou. Moganshan is in Deqing, not a central-Hangzhou commute.
Best for
Students whose university-approved arrangement permits independent housing. The undergraduate guide gives no blanket entitlement to live off campus and no official private-rent budget.
Plan for
Obtain approval and complete the required residence registration before moving. Allow for rent, deposit, utilities and travel; private rental is not included in this campus-room calculator.

Have a housing backup. A degree offer does not establish your room allocation. Arrange housing with ZJUT before arrival and keep a university-approved backup.

11/ 11Student life

A campus to call home. A city to discover.

Beyond the campus gates

Hangzhou after class

Hangzhou combines West Lake scenery and canal-side streets with a large technology and business economy. Lakeside walks, tea-growing hills and neighbourhood restaurants offer plenty to explore beyond study days.

Campus days

Balance lectures and practical coursework with library study, canteen meals and international student activities. Pingfeng’s leafy grounds sit beside the Xiaohe hills; your actual routine depends on the campus allocated to your degree.

Around your campus

Pingfeng has a university neighbourhood around Liuhe Road in western Hangzhou. Zhaohui is closer to the central city; Moganshan is in Deqing, so housing and daily plans need to follow your assigned campus.

Weekends in Hangzhou

Walk around West Lake, explore the Grand Canal and historic lanes, or try the city’s cafés and food markets. Summers are hot and humid, while winters often feel cool and damp.
