Nanjing Audit University

About Nanjing Audit University

Nanjing Audit University is a province-administered public institution and an operating member of Jiangsu’s ordinary higher-education sector. It was founded in 1983, became a master’s degree-granting institution in 2013, adopted its present name in 2015, and received doctoral degree-granting authority in 2021. Its development has been closely connected to audit education, but the present university spans economics, management, law, engineering, literature, and science. The university reports more than 19,000 full-time undergraduate, postgraduate, and international students and more than 1,200 full-time teaching staff. It operates two campuses, Pukou and Mochou, with a combined reported area of 1.2 million square metres. Applicants should verify the teaching location of their chosen program because the 2026 undergraduate regulations state that specific study locations are determined through the provincial admissions information. NAU’s institutional character is more specialized than that of a broad comprehensive university. Audit remains the organizing strength, supported by accounting, finance, economics, law, statistics, data science, computing, and related subjects. International dimensions include a School of International Students, credit-recognition partnerships, a Curtin University accounting pathway, and a joint institute with SKEMA Business School. These routes have distinct curricula, locations, awards, fees, and admissions conditions, so students should evaluate them separately from standard domestic programs.

For mainland Chinese undergraduate applicants, NAU’s 2026 regulations use the national and provincial higher-education admissions system. Candidates must take the applicable provincial unified Gaokao and meet their province’s eligibility rules. In reformed examination provinces, applicants must satisfy the subject-selection requirements for the chosen major; elsewhere, they must meet the published subject-stream requirements. Provincial authorities publish the available places by province and major. Once candidates are submitted to the university, NAU ranks them by the applicable admission score and considers their ordered major preferences without imposing score differences between preferences. In reformed provinces, any major reassignment is confined to the submitted institution-major group. Applicants who cannot enter a preferred major may be placed in another unfilled eligible major if they accepted adjustment. The university recognizes qualifying provincial bonus-point policies and applies tie-breaking rules specified in the 2026 regulations. Health requirements follow the national guidance, and NAU states no gender-ratio requirement. New students undergo qualification and health rechecks after enrolment. Graduate admission follows separate national and university procedures. The 2026 master’s guide directs candidates to China’s Graduate Admissions Information Network and the relevant subject catalogue; doctoral recruitment has its own 2026 guide and school-level assessment details. International applicants must use the notice for their particular program or scholarship. The published MOFCOM Master of Auditing route, for example, requires an online application and an embassy economic or commercial office recommendation; it should not be generalized to all international applicants.

NAU organizes its academic identity around auditing while supporting it with management, economics, law, engineering, literature, and science. Its schools include National Audit, Internal Audit, Social Audit, Engineering Audit, Accounting, Business, Economics, Finance, Law, Statistics and Data Science, Computer Science and Intelligence Audit, Mathematics, Liberal Arts, and Foreign Languages. This structure gives students several routes into audit-related work, from accounting and public-sector oversight to data analysis, information systems, and engineering projects. The university reports 44 undergraduate majors, two first-level doctoral programs, eight first-level master’s programs, and 17 professional or other master’s programs. These counts describe the institution as a whole; applicants should consult the current program catalogue because not every subject or degree level necessarily recruits students each year. The 2026 graduate materials confirm active master’s and doctoral recruitment. Internationally structured options require particular attention. The Curtin University accounting program uses a 3+1 structure, with three years at NAU and the fourth at Curtin, subject to the stated progression and award requirements. The SKEMA joint institute uses a four-year, China-based 4+0 model and can lead to awards from both institutions when each institution’s conditions are met. NAU also runs an international Master of Auditing initiative. Chinese is the database-listed general language of instruction; applicants should not assume that other programs are taught in English unless the current program notice explicitly says so.

Student Life & Environment

Student life is distributed between the Pukou and Mochou campuses, so the experience depends partly on program location. The 2026 undergraduate regulations list Pukou at 86 Yushan West Road in Pukou District and Mochou at 77 Beiwei Road in Gulou District. University materials describe a dual academy-and-school education model, meaning students may engage with both an academic school and a broader residential or developmental community. Mochou campus officially lists student apartments, dining, a library, an auditorium, and spaces for basketball, dance, fitness, yoga, fencing, badminton, billiards, and table tennis. The university also operates transport services between its two campuses, although timetables can change and should be checked locally. At Pukou, current procurement notices confirm continuing operation and renovation of student residences and campus facilities but do not establish identical amenities for every building. International students are supported through the School of International Students, which manages recruitment, enrolment, and daily administration. Recent university activity includes cultural celebrations and international-student participation in campus sports. Housing is assigned by the university for standard domestic undergraduate admissions, with annual accommodation charges varying by room conditions. Prospective students should confirm campus, residence type, room arrangements, and move-in procedures after admission rather than assuming all students receive the same accommodation.

Location & Surroundings

NAU is located in Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu Province, but its two campuses occupy different parts of the city. Pukou campus is at 86 Yushan West Road in Jiangpu Sub-district, Pukou District, with postal code 211815. It is the principal address used by the university, undergraduate admissions office, and graduate school. Mochou campus is at 77 Beiwei Road in Gulou District, postal code 210029. The split-campus structure matters when comparing programs and planning housing or travel. The 2026 undergraduate rules say that the study location for a particular major is the one published by the relevant provincial admissions authority. Official materials describe Mochou as an important base for international education, while many central administrative and graduate functions use the Pukou address. The university runs buses between the campuses, but students should consult the latest timetable rather than rely on older schedules. Applicants should therefore evaluate location at the program level. Before accepting an offer, confirm where classes, accommodation, laboratories, and student services for the specific course are based. This is especially important for joint international programs associated with Mochou campus and programs administered from Pukou.

Costs & Career Outcomes

For standard domestic undergraduate programs in 2026, the university lists annual tuition of CNY 5,200 for humanities subjects, CNY 5,500 for science subjects, and CNY 5,800 for engineering subjects. Some designated strong disciplines may use separately approved rates. Joint international programs charge under different rules, so applicants must consult the program-specific notice rather than apply the standard rates. Undergraduate accommodation is listed at CNY 1,000 to CNY 1,500 per academic year, depending on housing conditions, and is arranged by the university. Rates remain subject to changes in government policy. The 2026 master’s guide presents total-program rather than annual tuition. It lists CNY 24,000 for three-year full-time academic master’s programs. Professional-program totals vary substantially: several two-year programs cost CNY 20,000, while full-time three-year Audit and Accounting are listed at CNY 90,000. Part-time and international joint programs have different totals. The guide also identifies national, university, academic, and assistantship-based support for eligible full-time graduate students, but awards are conditional rather than guaranteed. Career preparation is strongest where audit intersects with accounting, finance, public administration, internal control, risk, statistics, data science, computer systems, and engineering projects. The curriculum and school structure provide plausible routes into public audit bodies, accounting and advisory firms, financial institutions, corporate assurance and compliance, and data-oriented roles. These are program-to-field connections, not guaranteed outcomes. No current institution-wide placement rate, employer list, or salary figure was sufficiently verified, so students should request recent program-level destination data from the admissions or careers office.
