2. 2

   What you can study

   Central Academy of Fine Art is an art academy. No programme list, subject list, or degree catalogue is published in the information available here, so the programme range must be confirmed on the university website.

3. 3

   Getting in

   The academy is known for being highly selective and turns away more than 90% of applicants each year. International applicants should check the official website for application requirements, entry tests or portfolio rules, deadlines, and whether any documents need translation or notarization.

4. 4

   What it costs

   The university does not publish a tuition fee amount in the information available here; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. Living costs in China will depend on the city, housing, and personal spending, so check current local costs before applying.

   Coming from abroad

   The language of instruction is not stated, so confirm that directly before applying. If you are moving from abroad, check the visa process, required documents, portfolio or test requirements, and whether the academy accepts international applicants in the programme you want.

   How it compares

   China has 398 universities, and this academy stands out more for its art focus and selectivity than for broad subject coverage. For applicants who want a specialised fine arts institution rather than a general university, it is one of the country’s more competitive options.
