Welcome to our international student short-term visiting program!
Before applying to visit, please note that visit dates are scheduled based on capacity and application submission order ( it usually starts on the first Monday of each month). If we receive a large volume of applications, your visit may be delayed from the expected start date. We appreciate your understanding that visit dates depend on demand and cannot always begin as initially requested. Our team will make effort to confirm your visit as soon as possible based on availability.
Please note: Due to a large number of applications, new applications with an expected date before June 2026 have been suspended. According to current capacity, the visiting period available in 2026 will be coordinated uniformly (students who have submitted their applications for 2026, please wait for further email contact). Thank you all for your understanding!
To apply, please use this link (https://www.wjx.cn/vm/tUBiL08.aspx#) to fill out the application form and upload required materials. We will review applications and aim to respond within 4-5 weeks (depending on the number of applications). Approved applicants will be contacted by email to schedule visit dates based on availability.
If you have any question, please contact pumchvisit@163.com and include relevant keywords in the email subject line. This will help us address your inquiry in a timely manner. Due to the large workload, the response speed may be relatively slow. Really appreciate your patience!
