Shaanxi Normal University

1. 1

   The short answer

   Shaanxi Normal University is a public university in Xi'an, affiliated with the Ministry of Education, and it suits students looking for master's-level study at a Chinese university with a small published programme set. It may also appeal to applicants who want an institution connected to both Double First-Class Construction and Project 211.

2. 2

   What you can study

   The published study options are eight master's programmes, including Conservation des Aliments et Emballages (CAE), Chemistry - Molecular Chemistry and Physicochemistry (MCP), Biomechanics, International en Sciences de l’Education Inclusive (MISEI), Dependable Software Systems (DESEM), European Master of Science in Nuclear Fusion and Engineering Physics, Advanced Materials Science and Engineering (AMASE), and Biology and Ecology for the Forest Agronomy and Environment - track Forests. No other degree levels are listed, so applicants should treat the current catalogue as master's-only and check the official university site for the latest programme list and language details.

3. 3

   Getting in

   International applicants should apply for a master's programme and confirm the entry requirements, documents, deadlines, and any language conditions on the official university website. The university does not publish admissions details beyond the programme list, so the admissions office should confirm the exact process for overseas applicants.

4. 4

   What it costs

   The university does not publish a tuition fee range for international students; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. Living costs in Xi'an will depend on housing, transport, food, and personal spending, so check current local costs before applying.

5. 5

   Coming from abroad

   The language of instruction is not published. Before applying, confirm the teaching language, whether your previous degree is accepted for entry, what documents need translation or notarisation, and whether you must arrange visa paperwork after admission.

   How it compares

   China has 398 universities, so this institution sits within a very large national higher-education system. Its published profile is narrower than many universities because only eight master's programmes are listed, but its Ministry of Education affiliation and inclusion in Double First-Class Construction and Project 211 give it a clearer research-oriented position than a general local provider.
