Ningbo University (NBU) is committed to nurturing high-end inter-disciplinarian talents equipped with an innovative and enterprising mind. The realization of this goal hinges on the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, on the thorough implementation of party’s education policy and the core mission of training all-round students, on the observance of laws governing the tertiary education, and on the respect of learners' selected path of development.

With talent training of undergraduates at its core, NBU focuses on improving students' learning outcomes, highlighting teachers' work ethics, remaining true to its original aspiration and pursuing new ideas and practices. We endeavor to make continuous progress in a student-centered and outcome-oriented way, and tailor the educational objectives to meet students' individual needs. The University works to ensure the organic integration of general education, education of innovation and entrepreneurship, and professional education. NBU adopts a specialty-free recruitment and training scheme, enabling constant improvement in the curriculum system featuring “compulsory courses plus module-based electives”. NBU aims to sharpen its ability to produce better prepared talents by developing and improving more first-rate majors, courses, teaching practices and teaching faculty.

NBU has a wide selection of studies, covering economics, law, pedagogy, literature, history, science, engineering, agriculture, medical science, management, and totaling 75 majors, with 64 open to new applicants.

Over the past few years, NBU has responded timely to the demands for national, regional and local economic and social progress by adapting to the changes brought by the latest round of technological and industrial upgrade. This involves improving the framework under which different majors are planned, shoring up traditional fields of learning, exploring emerging ones, and building more with local strength so as to empower an efficient economic and social development.
