5.Create an Application Account
Please click the "NEW USER" button at the top of this page to start creating an application account. Note that once a Doctoral application account is created, you cannot create a Bachelor's or Master application account again. Therefore, please make sure that the type of degree you are applying for is correct when creating your account.
Each applicant is allowed to create only one application account, and the same ID number can only be used once. If you possess multiple nationalities or identities, it's important to choose one for your application (please note that applicants from mainland China must use the PRC ID number to register). The university will use the ID number from your application account for all official purposes. (Should it be found that an individual has used different ID numbers to apply multiple accounts, the university reserves the right to revoke their admission and enrollment eligibility.)
When creating an application account, it is necessary to use a mobile phone number to receive a verification code. Applicants must use the registered mobile phone number to receive a verification code each time they log into the application system. Therefore, please make sure that your mobile phone number is working when accessing the application system.
