Hebei North University is a government administrated multi-faculty university, which offers Bachelor’s Degree programs and Master’s Degree programs. The University was founded in September 2003 after approval from the Ministry of Education. It is made up of three former provincially-administrated institutions of higher learning in Zhangjiakou: Zhangjiakou Medical College (ZJKMC), Zhangjiakou Teachers’ College (ZJKTC), Zhangjiakou Advanced Postsecondary Agronomy School (ZJKAPAS). It's the only multi-faculty university in the north of Hebei Province.
The former Zhangjiakou Medical College (ZJKMC) was upgraded to an undergraduate college in 1982 and then successfully certified to award undergraduate degrees by the Ministry of Education. The former Zhangjiakou Teachers College was founded in 1923, and the former Zhangjiakou Advanced Postsecondary Agronomy School (ZJKAPAS) was founded in 1954. All the three colleges have a long history and contribute greatly to talent discovery, education, and social development.
The main courses of the university focus on full-time undergraduate education together with postgraduate, postsecondary and adult education. At present, there are 22,267 registered students.

Graduates of the University are appreciated by their employers all the time, and the schools quality has been approved of by the society. Now, the employment rate for medical graduates of Hebei North is highly ranked compared to other universities, while the employment rate of laboratory medicine undergraduates is now 100% and the supply of all agronomy graduates falls short on demand.
After many years of development, we possess numerous superior academic areas, such as pathology and pathophysiology, human anatomy, histology and embryology, pharmacology, clinical laboratory test diagnostics, mathematics, computer application, Chinese literature and linguistics, animal and plant reproduction, and veterinary science. These courses have a strong influence in Hebei province, and even in the whole country.

China has become one of the most popular destinations for international students who want to study abroad because of its long history and exciting culture. In 2012, more than 320,000 students from over 180 countries came to China to study for either degree or non-degree programs. Studying in China is an excellent opportunity to experience China's unique blend of ancient and modern civilization, as well as its scenic beauty and bustling nightlife. Considering the size of China's territory, there are a tremendous variety of climates, cultures, and landscapes. At the northeast of the country is Harbin, a city where you can enjoy the ice festival and ski on the mountains. If that’s too cold for you, then head south to the tropical beach paradise of Hainan Island and kick back in the sunshine.
Following rapid economic development over the last 30 years, Chinese cities now boast of eye-catching works of modern architecture - from the towering skyscrapers of Shanghai to Beijing's Olympic Bird's Nest - in addition to impressive ancient structures like the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. China's 5000 years of history has promoted the endless amount of tourist attractions, while natural wonders of breathtaking beauty are also scattered about the country. It is convenient and inexpensive to get around in China, all cities have buses and taxis, and larger cities have modern subway systems. Airplane or train can reach every city. China's high-speed railway reaches a maximum speed of over 300 km/h and provides beds as well as dining services.
Studying and living in China is cheaper than studying and living in European countries, the U.S., Japan, South Korea and many other countries. Food and other commodities in China are as affordable as it gets. A good pair of jeans sells for 10-20 U.S. dollars; the bus fare only 15 cents, and a subway ticket in Beijing only 30 cents, everything is more than affordable in China.
Even in other parts of Asia studying is not cheap. Japan boasts high living expenses soaring up to 1800 dollars a month, while South Korea is one of the world's five most expensive countries for foreign residents.
China has been the world's fastest growing country for the past 30 years even during the financial crisis; China's economic growth has maintained a level of 8%, a pace unthinkable in other countries. China's GDP recently surpassed Japan's, the world's top 500 companies are doing business in China, with many choosing to base their Asia-Pacific headquarters in the bustling Chinese cities like Shanghai and Beijing.
The current rise of China has made it very clear that people who can speak Chinese and have firsthand experience of living in China have the upper hand. China serves as a huge market for multinational corporations, and employers are well aware that a real understanding of China, Chinese culture, and Chinese people.
China is striving to build more world-class universities, and investing heavily in higher education. Aside from China's unique Chinese language, calligraphy, martial arts and other cultural subjects, Chinese degree programs in majors such as engineering, science, medicine, economics and trade, MBA as well as finance are highly revered. As for those who don't know any Chinese, many universities offer degree programs taught in English, so you can earn your degree while learning the most widely spoken language in the world.
Most developed countries recognize the academic qualifications awarded by Chinese universities. The Chinese government has signed an agreement on mutual recognition of academic qualifications with some countries including the United States, Britain, France, Japan and 65 other countries and regions.
You'll run into unique cultures as you travel to different parts of China, but everyday life, believe it or not, will be just as new and fulfilling. Living and interacting with local Chinese and immersing yourself in Chinese society will provide you with a new way of visualizing the world and giving you the kind of insight that just doesn't come from textbooks.
