Zunyi Medical University (遵义医科大学): Programs and Teaching Language for International Students
Zunyi Medical University (遵义医科大学) offers international students one non-degree language track, eight undergraduate programs, and four postgraduate program categories. The Guizhou international student admissions brochure lists every program as taught in Chinese. It does not give tuition, scholarship amounts, or application deadlines, so check those on the university's official site before you apply.

The brochure's table header reads "招生数量" (enrollment number), but the entries in that column are study durations. The brochure does not publish seat counts, so this guide reports the values as durations. The brochure also does not list application requirements for each program.
Teaching language
Every program in the brochure's table is taught in Chinese. Students who are not yet ready for Chinese-medium study may find the non-degree language track relevant as a first step, but the brochure does not say how that track connects to later degree entry. Ask the university directly.
The university's own profile mentions Practical Medical Chinese (《实用医学汉语》), which it says received the "First Provincial Brand Course for International Students in Guizhou Higher Education Institutions" title and a second prize in the 10th Guizhou Provincial Higher Education Teaching Achievement Awards in 2022. This is a Chinese-language course, and it fits the university's Chinese-medium teaching profile.

Who this university may suit
This university may fit students who want a Chinese-taught medical, pharmacy, nursing, or health-related program in Guizhou. It may also suit students who want to start with Chinese-language study before entering a degree program. Students interested in fields outside the listed programs, such as engineering or business, will not find them in this brochure.
Students who want an English-taught program should confirm whether the university offers one. The brochure lists only Chinese as the teaching language.

Before you apply, confirm the following on the official site or with the International Education School:
