UK and European Admission Centre for Shanghai Jiao Tong University

In order to maintain the high standards of the university, Shanghai Jiao Tong University is one of only five Chinese universities that require an admission exam. We are the sole agent for Shanghai Jiao Tong University in the UK and we operate an admission centre for British and European students.

International students who wish to study for a Bachelor's degree at the university are required to undertake an entry exam in Chinese.

Note: Chinese-language degree students and English-medium programme students are not required to do the entry exam.

The exam is held in April and May of every year. Students may re-sit the exam if necessary. Scholarships may be offered to students who achieve good results.

The HSK-level certificate is used as a reference-only guide on application. Jiao Tong University reserves the right to evaluate the applicant’s Chinese language level according to the results of its own entry exam. HSK results are valid only within two years of the issue date. Students who have HSK level 8 certificates and new HSK level 6 certificates (oral test scores of 60 and above) will gain extra points for their entry exam.

Jiao Tong University has established a number of admission centres overseas. For European and UK students, please register here with your CV, passport-sized photo and contact details.  Details on dates and admission fees are coming soon.
