Getting an acceptance letter (pre-admission letter) from a supervisor is one of the most important steps when applying to Southeast University (SEU), Nanjing for the Chinese Government Scholarship (CSC) or a university scholarship. To get one, you first need to find the right professor and contact them by email.
Below are the official faculty (teacher) pages for each SEU school. Open your school’s page, find professors who work in your research area, and email them directly.
Tip: Choose 3–5 professors whose research matches your background. Read their recent papers before you write to them. A personal email gets far more replies than a copied one.

How to Find the Right Professor
- Open the faculty page of the school that matches your degree.
- Click on each professor’s name to see their profile, research area and email address.
- Shortlist professors whose research is close to your previous degree or thesis.
- Search their name on Google Scholar to read 1–2 of their recent papers.
- Write a short, personal email to each one (do not send one email to many professors at the same time).

Application for an Acceptance Letter for a Master’s under your supervision
Respected Professor Liu Zhou
I hope you are doing well. My name is Muhammad Asif, and I am writing to express my strong interest in joining your esteemed research group as a Master/PhD fellow under your supervision.
Respected Professor, after going through your profile available at https://sese.sysu.edu.cn/teacher/4048. I am now very interested in your research, including;
- Study of the process and mechanism of the remediation of phenol-contaminated soil by a plasma-vibrated bed. Plasma Chemistry and Plasma Processing, 2017.
- Study of the process and mechanism of the remediation of phenol-contaminated soil by a plasma-vibrated bed. Plasma Chemistry and Plasma Processing, 2017.
I recently completed my Bachelor/Master in the School of Environmental Engineering at Multan University, Pakistan, under the supervision of Prof. XYZ. My Bachelor’s research focused on wastewater treatment, during which I gained comprehensive expertise in advanced oxidation processes, membrane technology, contaminant degradation, and the characterization of DBPs. I also acquired advanced knowledge in GC-MS, GC-ECD, and UPLC, as well as in machine learning modelling and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, applying these tools to optimise experimental design and deepen mechanistic understanding.
My work has resulted in several publications in well-reputed journals, including Water Research, Separation and Purification Technology, Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering, Journal of Water Process Engineering, and Water, Air, and Soil Pollution. These contributions highlight my dedication to advancing research in environmental engineering, particularly in wastewater treatment and water quality improvement.
I am confident that working under your guidance will allow me to contribute meaningfully to your projects while further developing my research expertise. I have attached my CV, a letter of recommendation from my bachelor’s supervisor, and my transcript for your review. I would be grateful for the opportunity to discuss how my background aligns with your research interests.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response.
Best regards,
Muhammad Asif
Master. Environmental Engineering

Tips to Get a Reply
- Keep it short: professors receive many emails. 150–250 words is enough.
- Make it personal: mention one of their papers or research topics.
- Attach your documents: CV, transcripts and a short research proposal (as PDF).
- Use a professional email address and a clear subject line.
- Be patient: wait about one week before sending a polite follow-up.
- Don’t give up: it is normal to email several professors before getting a positive reply.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is an acceptance letter required for the SEU CSC scholarship?
A pre-admission (acceptance) letter from a supervisor greatly increases your chance of selection. Always check the latest SEU admission guide for the current requirements.How many professors should I email?
Start with 3–5 professors whose research closely matches yours. If you get no reply after a week or two, contact a few more.Can I email professors from a different school?
Yes, if their research matches your field. Many research areas are shared between schools, for example Electronic Science and Integrated Circuits.What should I do if the faculty page is in Chinese?
Use your browser’s translate option. Professors’ names and email addresses are usually easy to find on their profile pages.
