What documents are usually included in a Tsinghua University application checklist?

For a typical Tsinghua University application, international students usually need the online application form, passport identification page, academic transcripts, graduation certificate or proof of expected graduation, language proficiency documentation, recommendation letters for some programs, a personal statement or study plan, and a passport-style photo. Graduate applicants often also need a CV, research proposal, and sometimes proof of contact with a prospective supervisor.

The exact checklist depends a lot on whether you are applying for undergraduate, master’s, doctoral, exchange, or scholarship admission. Tsinghua also commonly asks for notarized or officially certified copies of transcripts and diplomas, and documents not in Chinese or English usually need certified translations.

You should also be prepared for possible extra materials such as a statement of financial support, a Foreigner Physical Examination Form, portfolio or audition materials for art-related programs, and standardized test scores if the specific program requires them.

A practical checklist to build early would include passport, transcripts, diploma or current enrollment proof, test scores, personal statement, recommendation letters, CV, research plan if relevant, photo, financial documents, and certified translations. Tsinghua’s requirements can change by school and program, so the most important step is to match your documents to the exact program page and admissions cycle you plan to enter.
