Eligibility

Applicants should be non-Chinese citizens with valid passports and academic credentials appropriate for the chosen degree level. Annual LZU admission notices should be checked for age, health, nationality-document, and program-specific requirements. Science, medical, and graduate research programs may require additional academic preparation.

Language

Chinese-taught programs generally require HSK or equivalent Chinese proficiency. English-taught programs may require IELTS, TOEFL, or accepted proof of English-medium education. Exact thresholds should be confirmed through the current admission guide.

Application path

Review Lanzhou University's current international admission guide and scholarship options. Prepare passport, academic documents, language proof, recommendations, and study or research plan. Submit through the official international student application channel. Follow review, admission, scholarship, visa, housing, and registration instructions.

Program notes

Strong for sciences, ecology, chemistry, atmospheric science, medicine, Chinese language, and northwest regional research. Lanzhou can be significantly more affordable than coastal megacities. Silk Road routes, the Yellow River, Dunhuang, and desert landscapes add unique travel value.
