Zhejiang Ocean University takes part in the Chinese Government Scholarship High-Level Graduate Programme (中国政府奖学金“高水平研究生”项目), the Ministry of Education's fully-funded programme for outstanding international students reading for a master's or doctoral degree in China. The university gained the programme in 2022 and in the 2026/2027 round the China Scholarship Council admitted two doctoral students in marine science — ZJOU's first doctoral-level international students, extending its international provision from bachelor's and master's study to the doctoral stage. The two doctoral researchers work within ZJOU's first-level doctoral programme in Marine Science; the university's doctoral provision covers Marine Science, Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, and Fisheries, taught in English. In the same round ZJOU admitted three China-Link students from the University of Pisa under the China-Italy dual-master's arrangement run with the ZJOU-Pisa Marine Graduate School.
