studyinchina.helpGuiyang Institute of Information Science and Technology (贵阳信息科技学院): What the Guizhou Admission Brochure Lists for International Students
The Guizhou admission brochure for international students, titled Education in Guizhou and produced in April 2026, lists Guiyang Institute of Information Science and Technology (GIIST) with two e-commerce entries: a non-degree program and a four-year bachelor's program. It does not state tuition, scholarship amounts, or application deadlines. Those details have to be checked on the university's official website, which is the source to follow for the latest notices from the International Education College or the International Exchange Office.
Basic information from the brochure
The brochure describes GIIST as a private undergraduate institution independently established and approved by the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China. It is located at No. 8 Siya Road, Huaxi University Town, Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, with postcode 550025.
According to the brochure, the university had 16,451 students and more than 960 faculty members at the time of writing. It has 6 secondary schools, 2 teaching departments, and 40 undergraduate programs, most of them in science and engineering.
The brochure also gives the university's history. Its predecessor, the International College of Guizhou University of Technology, was founded in 2001. In September 2013, Guizhou University and Tellhow Group signed a cooperation agreement to co-sponsor the institution. The university moved to its Huaxi University Town campus in 2017. In August 2021, it was formally converted into Guiyang Institute of Information Technology after approvals from the Ministry of Education and the Guizhou Provincial People's Government. In August 2022, Jiangxi Cultural Performance and Art Development Group, a wholly owned enterprise of the Propaganda Department of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee, partnered with Tellhow Group to co-sponsor the university.
Admission entries in the brochure
The brochure's admission table has four columns: category, major, length of study, and application requirements. The two entries are reproduced below as they appear.
| Category | Major | Length of study | Application requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-degree | E-commerce | One or two years | / |
| Bachelor's | E-commerce | Four years | Senior high school graduation or equivalent, HSK Level 4 |
The brochure shows no requirement for the non-degree entry. It does not list the teaching language or the number of places for either entry.
What the brochure does not list
The brochure does not give the following information:
- Tuition and other fees
- Scholarship types or amounts
- Application deadlines
- A full list of application documents
- HSK requirements for the non-degree entry
Because these items are missing, the brochure should not be read as a complete guide to applying.
