Guizhou Nursing Vocational College (贵州护理职业技术学院): Programs and Teaching Language for International Students
Guizhou Nursing Vocational College (贵州护理职业技术学院) offers international students two listed options in the Guizhou study brochure: a one-year Chinese language study program and a three-year nursing junior college program. Both are taught in Chinese. The brochure does not list tuition, scholarship amounts, or application deadlines, so check those with the college before you plan your application.
Programs for international students
The brochure lists two entries in its admission table:
| Category | Program | Length of study | Teaching language |
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-degree | Language Study Student (语言进修生) | 1 year | Chinese |
| Junior college (专科) | Nursing (护理) | 3 years | Chinese |
The first option is a non-degree language program. The second is a three-year junior college program in nursing. Neither entry is taught in English in the brochure.
Who the college may suit
Based on the brochure, the college fits two kinds of students. The first is a student who wants to improve Chinese before entering a Chinese-taught course. The second is a student who wants a three-year nursing qualification taught in Chinese.
If you need English-taught instruction, the brochure does not show that option at this college. You should confirm the language of any other course with the admissions office before you apply.
Background of the college
According to the brochure, the college grew out of the Nursing School of Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital, founded in 1958. It was approved by the Guizhou Provincial People's Government and put on record by the Ministry of Education in 2017. Its affiliated hospital is Guizhou Provincial Third People's Hospital. The campus is the Jin Hai Campus in Panjiang Town, Guiding County, Guizhou Province, with postcode 550025.
The brochure also describes international cooperation work. It says the college led the creation of the China-ASEAN Nursing High-Quality Development Alliance, and that it has set up an overseas nursing branch in Pakistan. It further states that two international courses, Nutrition and Health and Emergency and Critical Care Nursing, have obtained Thai certification. These statements come from the brochure's description of the college and are not the same as a listed program requirement.
What to confirm with the university
Before you apply, check the following with the college:
- Tuition and fees for the language program and the nursing program.
- Scholarship availability and amounts.
- Application deadlines and the entry requirements for each program.
- Whether the Chinese proficiency level is required before entry.
The brochure notes that these details are published in the latest notices from each university's international education college or international exchange office. Use the official website, https://www.gznvc.com, to find the current notices.
