How Much Do I Need to Pay

Tuition: The tuition rates for the program/faculty you have been admitted to can be found at the website of the admissions office.

(http://admissions.xmu.edu.cn/en/onepage/33.html)

Insurance Fee: Except full scholarship students sponsored by the China Scholarship Council and the Confucius Headquarters/Hanban, other students whose study duration in China lasts for more than 6 months are required to join the Ping’an Group Insurance Scheme for Foreign students at the rate of 600RMB every academic year (1000RMB per academic year for students aged over 45), which covers life insurance, accidental injury medical treatment and hospitalization medical insurance in public hospitals in mainland China. Students whose study duration is less than 6 months can join the Ping’an Group Insurance Scheme for Foreign students on a voluntary basis.

Accommodation Fee:

On-campus Residences: students eligible for on-campus accommodation can live on campus. The Housing Office arranges rooms based on student types and students do not need to make reservations in advance. The accommodation fee ranges from 750-1500RMB/month on Siming Campus and from 1200-4000RMB/year on Xiang’an Campus. Students should pay a one-time deposit of 1000RMB upon check-in.

Off-campus Accommodation: if your program does not offer on-campus residences, it is best for you to arrive two weeks to a month before classes begin. There will be fewer options available as the new semester gets closer. You will need to arrange temporary accommodation, so that you will have a place to stay while you arrange your permanent housing. You may not be able to move in until the first day of the month. Remember to budget for the added cost of temporary accommodations. Non-University housing prices around Siming Campus vary from 1500-2500 RMB/month depending on size, facilities and location.

Cost of Course Materials: Students are expected to purchase course materials required. On average, this amounts to RMB 400-700 per academic year.

Food expenses: Students can have meals in XMU students’ canteens. Food cost is estimated at RMB 700-1000 per month.

Miscellaneous expenses: The student is responsible for medical expenses not covered by insurances, the visa fees and all other non-exempt expenses during his or her study.

Fees Payment

Full Scholarship students don’t need to pay for tuition fees, accommodation fee and insurance premiums but they will be charged a security deposit fee of 1000 RMB when checking in the residence halls.

Exchange students should pay relevant fees according to bilateral MOUs.

Relevant fees can be paid by cash or bank drafts on the day of registration.

Finances

There are several banks on campus or near Xiamen University where banking services are available. (Siming campus: Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China; Xiang’an campus: China Construction Bank, ATMs of Bank of China and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China).

We suggest all new students prepare at least 5,000 RMB in cash to cover accommodation, physical examination, insurance, transportation and meals,etc upon arrival since converting currencies might take several working days and full scholarship students might need to wait for around one month to get the first stipend.  

Our estimation for the average cost of living per month in Xiamen is 5,000-7,000 RMB (housing, food and transportation included). There are limitations to the cash you can draw daily with your credit card. Please confirm with your bank before you leave how much you can draw daily in China.

Do make sure that you keep at least 2 photocopies of your important documents. Below is the checklist of important documents that you must carry with you to Xiamen.

? Valid passport and visa

? Admission Letter from Xiamen University (original copy)

? Visa Application for Study in China form (also known as the JW201/JW202 form) (original)

? Passport photos (at least 3 copies)

? Physical examination record and blood test reports (original, if any)

Travel light. Most daily necessities can be easily purchased in convenience stores, supermarkets and shopping malls in Xiamen.

We strongly suggest that you bring along the things that will make you feel at home, such as posters, photos and cultural items from your country. These mementos from home may help you feel comfortable in China and also minimize cultural shocks as well as homesickness.
