The brochure prints the last entry as "生物学31". Confirm the exact program name with the university before you apply.
The brochure extract does not show intake numbers or entry requirements for each program, so it does not say how many places each program offers or what each program requires. Those details need to come from the university directly.
Who this university may suit
The brochure's program list is weighted toward Chinese language and literature, education, psychology, computer science, tourism and management, and the arts. Students who want to study Chinese language teaching, education or applied psychology will find several related programs at more than one level. Students who want to study in English should note that the brochure lists Chinese as the teaching language for every program. Students who plan to study in Chinese should prepare for classes taught in Chinese from the start.
