Student Life & Environment

International-student administration is based at the College of International Education on the Xianlin campus. The college manages admissions, teaching affairs, language training and student administration, giving international students a defined office for both academic and immigration-related processes. NUFE’s published facilities information describes international dormitories, lecture rooms, libraries, dining halls, printing services, laundry facilities, a gym and indoor or outdoor sports spaces. Available sports facilities include basketball, football, tennis, badminton and table tennis areas. The university reports four canteens at Xianlin, with Dongyuan Dining Hall closest to the international residence. The 2026 English-taught BBA guide also stated that halal meals were available on Dongyuan’s second floor. Students should nevertheless check current opening arrangements and dietary provision after arrival because the detailed facilities page dates from 2022. Housing conditions depend on program and campus assignment. The 2026 international undergraduate guide said first-year undergraduates were generally expected to live on campus. The master’s guide placed international students at Xianlin or Fujian Road during the standard study period and allowed an application for off-campus residence after one completed academic year. Campus and room allocation remain subject to university arrangements, so applicants should not assume that admission guarantees a particular building or campus.

Location & Surroundings

NUFE is in Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu Province in eastern China. Its principal address is 3 Wenyuan Road, Xianlin College Town, Qixia District. Xianlin is a university-oriented area rather than Nanjing’s traditional central district, which gives the main campus a concentrated academic setting. The university describes Xianlin as its main campus, while its Fujian Road location is in Gulou District and is closer to central Nanjing. The distinction matters for daily travel and housing. International students may study or live at Xianlin or Fujian Road depending on their program and the university’s allocation, so they should verify the teaching site before choosing off-campus accommodation or estimating a commute. Xianlin contains the College of International Education, international residences, dining and major student facilities. The official address page also identifies Qiaotou as part of the university’s multi-campus footprint, but current international admissions documents do not indicate it as the normal base for new international degree students. Applicants should therefore make practical plans around the campus named in their admission and accommodation documents rather than the university name alone.

Costs & Career Outcomes

For the 2026 international intake, the Chinese-taught bachelor’s and English-taught BBA guides set tuition at CNY 17,000 per academic year. A twin room at Xianlin was listed at CNY 4,000 per academic year. The bachelor’s guide also identified a CNY 400 application fee, CNY 600 annual insurance, an approximately CNY 580 medical examination and a CNY 400 annual residence permit, with textbooks and visa-related costs paid separately. The master’s guide listed tuition of CNY 23,000 and accommodation of CNY 4,000 per academic year, plus a CNY 400 application fee and other personal study or immigration costs. These are 2026 figures and should be rechecked for later entry. Students should budget for payment timing as well as headline charges. NUFE stated that scholarship awards are paid after students register and first pay the full required tuition, housing and related fees. Newly admitted external undergraduate and master’s students generally could not compete for the university’s performance-based awards in their first year because they lacked a NUFE academic record; later eligibility depended on prior-year performance. A refundable CNY 1,000 dormitory deposit was also specified for international graduate arrival and the BBA route. Official sources describe curricula and intended professional preparation but do not publish verified placement rates, salaries or employer outcomes for the relevant 2026 cohorts. Career planning should therefore focus on the concrete skills in the chosen curriculum, Chinese-language development, internships and the legal conditions governing international-student work and post-study employment in China.
