Student Life & Environment

Student life is distributed across several sites rather than concentrated on a single campus. The main campus includes the Hedong, Hexi and Nanshan areas, while other teaching locations include Lanting, Shangyu and Songliuling. Applicants should confirm where their program is taught before evaluating housing, commuting and access to particular facilities. The university uses residential colleges and integrated student-community services as part of its support model. Its official profile identifies Yangming Academy as a member of a national residential-college alliance and describes the university’s one-stop student-community system. Campus materials also refer to academic guidance, psychological support, professional advice and innovation or entrepreneurship services within student communities. Student organizations, the student union and graduate-student union provide formal channels for activities and participation in campus affairs. Cultural life has a strong Shaoxing character. Calligraphy education, Lu Xun-related humanities work and the Fengzejiang lecture series are visible parts of university life. The institution reports international students studying Chinese language, Chinese culture and degree programs, although a current country-by-country enrollment breakdown should not be used as a guide to the language environment of a particular course. For 2026 entrants, university-arranged rooms may be four- or six-person units, with bathroom configuration and price varying by room type.

Location & Surroundings

The university is based in Shaoxing, a city in Zhejiang Province whose historic identity shapes several parts of the institution’s teaching and campus culture. The principal undergraduate admissions address is on Chengnan Avenue in Yuecheng District. The 2026 undergraduate regulations separately identify the Lanting campus in Keqiao District and the Shangyu campus on Dongshan Road in Shangyu District. The broader university profile also lists Songliuling as a campus location. This dispersed layout means that “Shaoxing” should not be treated as one interchangeable campus setting. Lanting is particularly relevant to calligraphy-focused study, while other disciplines may be based at the main or additional sites. Prospective students should check the current program plan and admission notice before arranging accommodation or estimating a commute. Shaoxing’s literary and artistic heritage is integrated into the institution through Lu Xun studies, calligraphy and local cultural programming. That connection can be valuable for students in Chinese language, history, art and cultural fields. For practical planning, students should rely on the address in their admission materials because official pages use different addresses for the main campus complex and administrative units.

Costs & Career Outcomes

For the 2026 undergraduate intake, standard annual tuition is CNY 10,000 for art programs. Clinical medicine, medical imaging and optoelectronic information science and engineering cost CNY 6,300. Other engineering and medical programs cost CNY 5,500, while remaining undergraduate programs cost CNY 4,800. The preschool-education program operated in cooperation with the University of Burgos costs CNY 25,000 per year. The university uses a credit-based fee system: students prepay according to the annual rate and receive an end-of-year settlement. These figures apply to the domestic 2026 undergraduate regulations and should not be extended to graduate or international study. University-arranged housing for 2026 costs CNY 1,600 per academic year for a four-person room with a private bathroom, CNY 1,200 for a six-person room with a private bathroom, or CNY 1,280 for a limited number of transitional four-person rooms without a private bathroom. Room allocation is made by the university. The regulations also describe scholarships, grants, loans, work-study support, hardship assistance and a green channel for financially disadvantaged entrants, but eligibility must be checked individually. Career support includes a university employment portal with full-time roles, internships, recruitment events and employer presentations. The autumn recruitment fair for the 2026 graduating class listed 174 participating employers, 453 positions and 3,437 recruitment openings. These are opportunity counts, not graduate-placement or salary outcomes, and no current independently verified earnings figure was found.
