Veterinary and Animal Sciences
Veterinary study in China, on the notice we can price, is 中国农业大学’s international undergraduate rule for 动物医学, not a clinic DragonTrail can staff. The 2027 notice posted 3 September 2026 keeps a higher language bar for veterinary medicine: HSK 5 with a score of at least 250. The same notice prints one tuition for the international intake, 20,000 RMB a year. It does not print a separate veterinary sticker.
Information checked 29 October 2026 (Asia/Shanghai).
DragonTrail has no veterinary seats and no animal hospital. The length of the international veterinary bachelor’s is not restated in that HTML. A five-year 动物医学 line appears on the 2026 domestic gaokao charter and belongs to that audience, with that charter’s own fees. Do not mix 3,000 or 5,000 RMB with the international 20,000. Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry are also first-class labels. The enrollment spreadsheet was not parsed, so this page will not invent a major menu. Nothing here is a license to practise veterinary medicine.
At a Glance
| Language exception | Veterinary medicine, 动物医学: HSK 5 at 250 or above. The 2026 notice already used that floor. The 2027 notice keeps it while raising the general intake from HSK 4 to HSK 5. Do not copy 250 onto food science or crop science. |
|---|---|
| Tuition | The notice’s single international line is 20,000 RMB a year. It is not a veterinary supplement. Application fee 400 RMB, not refundable. If a later file prices 动物医学 apart from other majors, that file replaces this sentence. |
| Length | Not stated in the international HTML we read. The domestic 2026 charter’s five-year veterinary length is a gaokao document. Quoting five years for an international applicant invents a duration the international page does not give. |
| 2027 window | 1 November 2026 to 31 May 2027. On 29 October 2026 it had not opened. The 2026 international window, 1 March to 15 June 2026, is closed. Interviews start when an applicant threshold is reached. The threshold is not numbered on the page. |
| Housing and insurance | Shared room 1,000 to 1,600 RMB a month. Insurance 800 RMB a year. These sit on the international notice beside the single tuition line. They are not a clinical placement fee. |
| Labels | Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Science appear in the nine-name list of first-class disciplines. They describe the university. They are not rows we opened in the xlsx. Biology and Grass Science are other labels, not animal-science seats. |
| Eligibility | Age at least 18, high-school graduation, foreign passport, passport valid later than December 2027, and the emigration rule the notice cites. Physical form valid six months. Apply at apply.cau.edu.cn. CSCA pass mark on the 2027 notice is 50 per subject. |
| DragonTrail | No clinic, no license letter, and no early opening of 1 November. Find a Suitable Program does not file the veterinary exception for you. |
The HSK Exception That Belongs to Veterinary Medicine
Veterinary medicine on 中国农业大学’s 2027 international notice is the HSK exception inside an otherwise single set of rules. The score is HSK 5 at 250 or above for 动物医学. The 2026 notice already asked for that veterinary floor while the rest of the intake was described at HSK 4. The 2027 notice lifts the general bar to HSK 5 and leaves veterinary medicine at 250. A certificate that would satisfy a food-science reading of “HSK 5” can still miss 250. Agriculture and Food Science keeps the general line so the two numbers are not averaged into one invented cutoff.
动物医学 is the Chinese name the notices use for veterinary medicine. Animal science, animal husbandry, and zoology are not automatic synonyms on these pages. Animal Husbandry is one of the nine first-class labels. It is not a sentence that says “apply here for a husbandry bachelor’s at a private fee.” If your home authority needs the words “veterinary medicine” rather than “animal husbandry” on the parchment, wait until the major row is visible. We did not parse 2027年度来华留学生本科生招生专业信息1015.xlsx, and we will not reconstruct it.
One International Fee, Not a Veterinary Sticker
The single international tuition line is 20,000 RMB a year for the intake the notice describes. Nothing in the HTML adds a laboratory levy, a clinical year, or a veterinary surcharge. Treating 20,000 as “the vet price” is fair only as “the only price printed,” not as proof that 动物医学 was priced on its own. The application fee is 400 RMB and is not refundable. Shared rooms are 1,000 to 1,600 RMB a month. Insurance is 800 RMB a year, the same insurance sentence as the rest of the notice. Cost of Studying can hold the monthly range after you know the year has started. It cannot split a fee the university did not split.
Duration of the veterinary bachelor’s is not restated in the international HTML. People repeat five years because the domestic charter says so for 动物医学. That charter, posted 29 May 2026, is the gaokao intake. Its fee bands, including figures near 3,000 and 5,000 RMB, are not the international 20,000. Using the charter’s length without its audience is how a budget and a transcript expectation both go wrong. If the next international PDF prints a year count, use that count. Until then the honest line is that the length is unpublished on the page we priced.
Two Clocks, and Only One of Them Is Ahead
The 2026 international window, 1 March through 15 June 2026, is closed. Paying 400 RMB against that PDF does not create a 2027 veterinary place. Results, interviews, and dormitory steps from that cycle belong to people who filed then. The 2027 window opens at the start of 1 November 2026 and runs through 31 May 2027. On 29 October 2026 the opening day had not arrived. That is a calendar fact. It is not a message from us to apply, and the university can edit the hour. Interviews begin when the number of applicants reaches a threshold the page does not quantify.
CSCA is required from 2026, and the 2027 notice prints 50 per subject as the pass mark. The 2026 notice said the score line would be announced, so 50 is not a rule you can push backward onto a closed file. Which papers a veterinary row requires is a catalog question. The spreadsheet is the catalog. We will not guess anatomy versus chemistry. The physical examination form the notice points to is valid for six months. A form that expires before registration is a new appointment, not a waiver. Passport validity must run later than December 2027.
Who the Notice Counts, and Who Issues the Visa
Eligibility on the international notice is age 18 or above, high-school graduation, and a foreign passport, together with the emigration rule the page cites: four years holding that passport and two years of overseas residence. Ministry rules of that kind sit next to 教外函〔2020〕12号 on nationality checks for international students. DragonTrail cannot certify a parent’s citizenship story. The office is Room 412, main building, 17 Tsinghua East Road, Haidian, telephone 0086-10-6273 7815, email cauie@cau.edu.cn. After admission the notice describes an X1 visa and a JW202, then a residence permit within 30 days. We do not print those forms.
Nationality checks still point at the ministry notice when documents and the passport disagree. False materials cancel status. You should assume a veterinary file is checked at least as carefully as any other international file, because the language exception already marks it as its own row. A guardian arrangement for a younger applicant is not the story on this 2027 page, which sets 18 as the floor. Do not import Beijing Normal University’s under-18 guardian letter from a closed 2026 brochure. Different university, different year, different major.
Labels, Clinics, and the License This Page Does Not Grant
Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Science appear in the nine-label list beside Biology, Agricultural Engineering, Food Science and Engineering, Crop Science, Agricultural Resources and Environment, Plant Protection, and Grass Science. The list is how the university talks about itself. Universities and Schools is where 985, 211, and 双一流 stay as glossary. They do not rank veterinary faculties, and they do not turn a label into a parsed major. A clinic placement, a farm internship, or a short animal-handling course is not the bachelor’s. If a faculty later requires observation hours, those hours will be on the faculty page. We will not invent them.
No page we read says this bachelor’s is a license to practise veterinary medicine in China or at home. A diploma, a transcript, and a course list are what a veterinary council usually asks to see. The council decides. The Chinese university decides its own parchment. Bring both the major name, once it is visible, and the curriculum. Do not bring a blog ranking. DragonTrail does not supervise a clinical rotation and does not write a good-standing letter. How To Apply orders the passport and the transcript. It does not sit HSK.
What To Re-Read Before You Treat 20,000 as the Veterinary Fee
Re-read four lines on the live notice: HSK 5 at 250 for 动物医学, the single 20,000 RMB tuition, the 1 November 2026 opening, and the absence of a year count. If any line has moved, this article is a record of 29 October 2026, not the offer. If the spreadsheet is now an HTML table, read the veterinary row there before you pay 400 RMB. We can compare the new row with this note. We cannot choose Animal Husbandry over Veterinary Science for you, and we cannot convert a domestic five-year charter into an international offer.
Other animal-related English titles at other universities were not opened for this subject, so they are not given fees. Silence is not a claim that China Agricultural University is the only school. It is a claim that we priced the notice we fetched. What To Study is the hub. Agriculture and Food Science is the sibling that shares the tuition line and does not share the 250-point floor. Pay the fee only when both the window and the major name are on the screen together.

FAQ
Does DragonTrail place students in veterinary programs?
No. China Agricultural University admits its own international undergraduates. This page records the 2027 veterinary language rule and the single tuition line we read on 29 October 2026. Find a Suitable Program does not file the form.
What HSK score does veterinary medicine ask for?
HSK 5 with at least 250, on both the 2026 and 2027 international notices we read. The 2027 notice also raises other majors to HSK 5, without copying the 250-point veterinary floor onto them.
Is veterinary tuition higher than 20,000 RMB?
The international notice prints one tuition line of 20,000 RMB a year. It does not add a veterinary surcharge. A later file could split the fee. The domestic charter’s lower bands are a different intake.
How many years is the international veterinary bachelor’s?
The international HTML we read does not say. Five years appears on the 2026 domestic gaokao charter for 动物医学. That length belongs to that document, not automatically to the international applicant.
Was veterinary admission open on 29 October 2026?
The 2027 window is printed from 1 November 2026 to 31 May 2027, so it had not opened on the day we checked. The 2026 window had closed on 15 June 2026. Confirm the live page before you pay 400 RMB.
Is Veterinary Science on the label list a seat?
It is one of nine first-class discipline labels. Enrollment majors are in a spreadsheet we did not parse. Animal Husbandry is a second label, not a second priced program.
Does this degree license me to practise veterinary medicine?
No page we read says that. A home veterinary council and the Chinese university’s diploma rules are separate decisions. Bring them the major name and the curriculum. We cannot write the license letter.
What should I send when the major table is visible?
The URL of the table and the veterinary row. We can check the HSK line, the fee, and the length if one is printed. We cannot sit the exam or pay the application fee.
