If you receive NJU's pre-admission letter, apply on the CSC website before 17 March 2027 with agency number 10284 and programme type B, and upload the letter. Doctoral applicants also upload their personal statement signed by the supervisor. If you do not apply there, NJU treats you as having given up its nomination.
