On-campus Accommodation

NJU would do best to help exchange students with on-campus housing. However, due to the fact that the capacity of Overseas Students’ Accommodation at Gulou campus is very limited, NJU could not guarantee international exchange students on-campus housing, except for those who have been granted scholarship of living expenses according to the agreement between the two universities.

----What courses at NJU are available to international exchange students?

Chinese Language Courses (Offered by Host Institute - Institute for International Students (IIS))

--Institute for International Students (IIS) will offer Chinese Language Courses to you. These courses are mainly focus on Chinese language and Chinese culture. Exchange students will be divided into classes according to different levels of their Chinese proficiency.

--If you just want to take courses at your host institute IIS, you could just follow the instructions of the staff from IIS when you do the registration. If you have any questions, please contact:

Teaching Affairs office, IIS, Tel: 86-25-83594613

Please note that, these courses would be expressed by class hours and scores, rather than credits. IIS could provide class hours and scores, but they will be unable to offer formal NJU credits for these courses to international exchange students.

Courses Offered by Departments other than IIS

If you would like to take courses in departments other than your host institute IIS, here are two options, Courses Taught in English, and Courses Taught in Chinese.

Kindly note that, you have to get the permission of corresponding departments before attending the courses. Please come to the Office of International Cooperation and Exchanges for help, after you finished the registration at your host institute IIS.

Office of International Cooperation and Exchanges of NJU,

English-taught Courses

--There are also some English Courses at NJU, which are relatively limited. Please find  the English Course catalogue on our website. You can get formal NJU credits as long as you finish the required class attendance and exam assessment.

Chinese-taught Courses

--For those who have a certificate of Chinese proficiency of or above HSK level 5, you could take Content Courses taught in Chinese with regular Chinese students after getting permission of the corresponding departments. You can get formal NJU credits as long as you finish the required class attendance and exam assessment.

--Academic units of social sciences, such as School of Liberal Arts, School of History, School of Foreign Studies, would like to accept international students with high level of Chinese Proficiency to join the content courses taught in Chinese.

----Will that be a problem for me living in Nanjing if I could speak little Chinese?

Nanjing has one of China's best situations both in public security and friendliness, so please don’t worry too much about your daily life.

You could also be invited to join Buddy Program at NJU, in which individual NJU students would pair with you to help you get involved in the new environment. They may help you get familiar with NJU upon your arrival, and may invite you to activities where you could get more communication with Chinese students.

----Can I arrive in China earlier before the registration days at NJU for traveling?

We would like to emphasize that, all the international students should attend the registration in accordance with the dates on the admission notice.

If you are holders of X1 visas, you would be required to go to the Nanjing Municipal Public Security Bureau（PSB） and arrange for a residence permit within 30 days of entering the country. And before going to the PSB, it is necessary to firstly go to the Office of Student Affairs, IIS (your host institute at NJU) to provide proof of a valid visa. So if you arrive earlier 30 days before the registration periods, you will not be able to get help from the Office of Student Affairs at NJU on visa issues. We suggest all exchange students confirming with the Chinese consulates near your city on this issue, and putting the above-mentioned situation into consideration.

Institute for International Students (IIS) would be the host institute for you at NJU. You will be required to register as “General Advanced Student” at IIS. There would be an IIS Academic Calendar for you in the acceptance package.

Please kindly note that, if you would like to take some courses in departments other than IIS, you should also refer to the schedule of classes and final exams correspondingly.
