Guizhou Polytechnic of Construction (贵州建设职业技术学院): Programs and Teaching Language for International Students
Guizhou Polytechnic of Construction (贵州建设职业技术学院) offers international students two entries in the Guizhou admissions brochure for international students (April 2026): a one-year language study track and a three-year diploma program in Architectural Engineering Technology. The brochure does not state the teaching language for either entry in a way that answers the question directly, so confirm that with the college before you apply.
What the college is
Guizhou Polytechnic of Construction was founded in 1979. It is a full-time public higher vocational college directly administered by the Education Department of Guizhou Province. The college describes itself as the province's only higher vocational institution focused mainly on training technical and skilled talent for the construction sector.
The college covers more than 500 mu and enrolls more than 12,000 full-time vocational students. It has over 600 staff and eight teaching units, including the School of Construction Engineering, the School of Electromechanical Engineering, the School of Art and Design, the School of Information Management and the School of Continuing Education.
Its address is Baihua Road, East Area, TVET Town, Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, China (postcode 551400).
Programs listed for international students
The admissions table in the brochure lists the following entries. The table has no columns for enrollment numbers or admission requirements, so those are not given here.
| Category | Program | Length of study | What the brochure says |
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-degree | Language Study (语言进修生) | One year | No specific major restriction. Mainly Chinese language and Chinese culture courses, laying the basis for degree study or stronger Chinese proficiency. |
| Diploma (专科) | Architectural Engineering Technology (建筑工程技术) | Three years | Trains high-quality technical and skilled talent for the construction industry, with knowledge and skills in architectural engineering technology. |
The college profile says it offers 25 specialized programs. The profile names some of them, including Architectural Engineering Technology, Mechatronics, Automobile Engineering, Architectural Decoration Engineering Technology and Computer Technology. The brochure's admissions table lists only the two entries above, so this article does not give a full roster of the 25 programs. Ask the college for that list.
Teaching language
The brochure does not state the teaching language for the Architectural Engineering Technology diploma. The language study track focuses on Chinese language courses, but the brochure does not say whether all of its instruction is in Chinese. Do not assume the diploma is taught in English.
Who this college may suit
- Students who want to build Chinese first. The one-year language track is built around Chinese language and Chinese culture courses, so it fits students who plan to move into degree study afterward.
- Students interested in construction technology. The college's profile lists an Intelligent Construction Virtual Simulation Training Base, a BIM Productive Industry-Education Integration Base and an information technology training base. Students who want hands-on technical training in building work may find this relevant.
- Students who prefer a vocational diploma. The program is a three-year higher vocational diploma, not a research-track degree.
What to confirm with the university
The brochure does not give tuition, scholarship amounts or application deadlines. Use the latest notice from the college's international education school or international exchange office as the final reference.
- Check the current tuition and fees on the college's official website at https://www.gzjszy.cn.
- Check the current scholarship amounts in the latest notice.
- Check the application deadline in the latest notice.
- Ask which language is used to teach the Architectural Engineering Technology diploma.
- Ask for the full list of the 25 specialized programs and which ones accept international students.
- Ask for the admission requirements and enrollment numbers for each program.
