Student Life & Environment

Student life is centered on a campus of approximately 1,800 mu in Xiamen’s Jimei District. The university’s official profile identifies a large multifunctional gymnasium and a substantial library collection among its shared facilities. Its website also maintains dedicated channels for student organizations, campus services, network services, and a three-dimensional campus view, indicating that academic, administrative, and extracurricular support is organized through separate university units. Housing arrangements vary by student category. The 2026 undergraduate charter quotes a six-person, air-conditioned room at CNY 970 per student per academic year. For 2026 full-time master’s students, university-arranged accommodation is quoted at CNY 1,100–1,300 per year depending on per-person room area. The university does not arrange housing for non-full-time master’s students. International students are handled separately; the published 2026 international guide says the university assigns accommodation and quotes CNY 2,000 per academic year. Prospective students should use these official categories carefully rather than assuming that one housing rate or arrangement applies to everyone. Detailed current information about room allocation, dining plans, accessibility, club membership, and move-in procedures was not available in the strongest sources reviewed. Students for whom these matters are decisive should request current information from the relevant admissions or student-services office before accepting an offer.

Location & Surroundings

The university’s published address is 600 Ligong Road, Jimei District, Xiamen, Fujian Province. Xiamen is a coastal sub-provincial city and special economic zone with a major port, tourism economy, and substantial manufacturing and technology activity. The Jimei location places students outside the historic island-center environment commonly associated with Xiamen, so applicants should assess travel time for internships, entertainment, and off-campus appointments rather than treating all parts of the city as immediately adjacent. Location is academically relevant because the university explicitly aligns teaching and research with Xiamen and Fujian industries. Its official profile lists partnerships with enterprises involved in displays, electronic components, automation, transport, minerals and materials, software, logistics, and manufacturing. It also reports modern industry colleges built with corporate partners. These relationships may create useful exposure to applied projects and regional workplaces, although participation and placement are program-specific and should not be assumed for every student. International and non-local students should also account for Xiamen’s humid subtropical coastal climate, cross-city commuting needs, and the practical requirement to navigate daily services in Chinese. The reviewed sources do not provide a verified campus-to-airport or campus-to-rail travel time.

Costs & Career Outcomes

For 2026 domestic undergraduates, annual tuition is quoted at CNY 5,040 for ordinary programs, CNY 5,460 for designated key-discipline programs, and CNY 8,640 for art programs. Software engineering costs CNY 5,460 in each of the first two years and CNY 16,000 in each of years three and four. Fujian–Taiwan cooperative programs are CNY 15,000 per year, while undergraduate academic mutual-recognition programs are CNY 28,000 during the China-based stage; overseas partner charges apply during study abroad. The listed undergraduate accommodation charge is CNY 970 per year for an air-conditioned six-person room. Approved adjustments may supersede these figures. For the 2026 master’s intake, full-time tuition is CNY 8,000 per year. The non-full-time tourism-management master’s costs CNY 18,000 per year. Full-time master’s accommodation is CNY 1,100–1,300 annually, while the university does not house non-full-time students. The guide lists merit scholarships, a CNY 6,000 annual national stipend for eligible full-time students without fixed salary income, assistantship opportunities, and possible placement support, all subject to the applicable annual rules. Career preparation is strongly applied. The university reports nine modern industry-college platforms and partnerships with regional and national companies. It also states that roughly 60% of graduates who enter employment or further study remain in Xiamen. This is an institutional figure without a clearly stated cohort year, so it is useful as directional context rather than a guaranteed outcome. No independently verified salary, employer-placement, or program-level employment rate was found, and students should request the latest graduate outcomes for their intended field.
