Gansu is located in the northwest of the mainland, and its most representative institution is Lanzhou University, which is the country's 985 university. Except for Lanzhou University, is there no university worth applying for? The answer is obviously no, and there are some "double non" colleges and universities that are also very good, such as Northwest Normal University. Although it is not advantageous geographically, it is excellent in terms of academic strength and employment prospects, so let's take a look.
Northwest Normal University is a key university jointly established by the Gansu Provincial People's Government and the Ministry of Education, and was listed as a provincial university supported by the Gansu Provincial People's Government in 2020 to enter the ranks of national first-class universities. The university is one of the first units designated by the State Council to have the right to confer bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees.
The university has 82 general undergraduate majors (including 9 national-level characteristic majors, 29 national-level first-class undergraduate majors, and 15 provincial-level first-class undergraduate majors), and has formed a relatively reasonable degree authorization system, covering 10 disciplines such as philosophy, economics, law, education, literature, history, science, engineering, management, and art. Northwest Normal University is a well-established provincial key normal university, with distinctive teaching majors; social sciences have outstanding advantages and distinctive characteristics in the fields of ancient Chinese literature, history and geography of Northwest China, curriculum and pedagogy, ethnic education, collation of ancient books, and Dunhuang studies; natural sciences have in-depth research in the fields of polymer chemistry and physics, basic mathematics, atomic and molecular physics, and educational technology.
In 2023, the school plans to enroll 4,850 students from 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government) across the country, including 2,880 in Gansu Province, 1,800 in other provinces, and 170 students in sports training, martial arts and traditional ethnic sports, senior classes in Xinjiang, and preparatory department transfers. In 2023, the school's 17 majors will be recruited according to 7 major categories, and for candidates who are admitted to multiple majors according to the major categories, after entering the school for general education and discipline basic education, they will be trained in the college based on their personal aspirations and academic performance. Northwest Normal University cooperates with the University of South Wales in the United Kingdom to hold two undergraduate education programs, namely Chemistry and Environmental Design in cooperation with Poznan University of the Arts in Poland, and will continue to recruit students nationwide in 2023.

The admission score of Northwest Normal University in this province is not very high, the minimum admission score line for science is 40 points above the provincial control line, and the liberal arts score is 35 points above the provincial control line, which is more suitable for candidates whose scores are at the intermediate level!
In addition, the school recommends nearly 12% of outstanding fresh undergraduate graduates to study for master's degree without examination every year. A number of students have been recommended to Peking University and other universities and research institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to continue their studies.
