Xi'an Jiaotong University: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    Xi'an Jiaotong University is a public university in China that offers master's study and suits international students who want a small, clearly defined set of programme options. It is also a fit if you want a university with national-level affiliations and a broad academic reputation in China, but you should check the exact programme and admission details before applying.

  2. What you can study

    The university lists 5 programmes at the master's degree level. Example programmes include public policy, urban cities and environments, international affairs, journalism, and solidarity and social responsibility. If you are choosing among these, confirm the teaching language and the exact curriculum for your intended programme on the official website.

  3. Getting in

    International applicants should apply for a master's degree and check the official website for the current application route, required documents, deadlines, and language requirements. The university’s publication does not give programme-specific admission rules here, so confirm entry conditions, document legalization or translation requirements, and whether your chosen programme has any extra screening with the admissions office.

  4. What it costs

    The university does not publish a tuition fee range for international students in the information available here; confirm the current fee with its admissions office. Budget separately for living costs in Xi'an, including housing, food, transport, and insurance, because those expenses depend on your housing choice and personal spending.

  5. Coming from abroad

    The language of instruction is not stated, so check that directly for the programme you want. Before applying, confirm whether you need proof of language ability, whether the programme is open to international students, and what documents are required for study visa planning.

  6. How it compares

    China has 398 universities, and Xi'an Jiaotong University sits among the country’s public institutions with ministry funding and membership in Project 211, Project 985, the Double First-Class Construction, and the C9 League. Compared with many Chinese universities, that places it in a select national group, but the practical choice still comes down to whether its master's offerings match your field and whether the admissions and language requirements fit your application.
