A record number of students have applied to study at The University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) this year.

With stiff competition for places at the English-medium University, the first Sino-foreign university established in 2004, the minimum college entrance exam (gaokao) scores for applicants offered a place has also risen sharply.

The University only accepts Chinese students with the top grades (Division 1).
