The national seminary in Nanjing, Jiangsu, has released two admission brochures for undergraduate and master's programs in 2024, providing information about program duration, curriculum, admission requirements, application procedures, and entrance exams.
Applicants for the first year of the undergraduate program must have a high school diploma or higher, reported CCC&TSPM. Applicants for the third year of the undergraduate program must be graduates of three-year theological college programs with a high school diploma or graduates with a bachelor's degree or higher from regular universities. Exam locations will be set up across the country based on the registration situation.
The application period is from September 15 to November 15, while the exam date is March 21–22, 2024.
For master's programs, the three-year program accepts graduates with a theology undergraduate degree, while the four-year program accepts graduates from regular universities. The application period is from September 15 to November 15, and the exam date is January 9–10, 2024. Exams will be held at the seminary.
Both notices mentioned that candidates must be recommended by the local church to the provincial (autonomous region, municipality directly under the central government) CC&TSPM.
Students or churches that recommend them are responsible for their study and living expenses during their time at the seminary. The seminary does not provide job placements; after graduation, the provincial (autonomous region, municipality directly under the central government) CC&TSPM or local churches will coordinate employment according to the needs of ministries.
