Chinese Language and Non-Degree Programs in Guizhou: Which Schools Take Language Students

Several institutions in Guizhou list Chinese language study and non-degree courses for international students. The Guizhou admissions handbook for international students (produced April 2026) lists these entries school by school, and most of them are taught in Chinese. Some entries are taught in Chinese and English, and a few run for a term, a few months, or two years. The handbook's tables also list bachelor's, master's and doctoral programs at a number of universities. This guide covers only the language and non-degree entries.

The handbook does not give tuition, scholarship amounts or application deadlines. For those, check the international education office or international exchange office website of each school for its latest notice.
