The Open University of China is a full-time undergraduate college in China. Founded in 1978, it is one of the ten independent universities in China in the early days of reform and opening up, and the first university in China to adopt the form of adult higher education.
The National Open University focuses on adult education and has trained a large number of part-time undergraduates and postgraduates through distance education. Let's learn more about the National Open University.
The running feature of the National Open University is "distance open education relying on modern information technology" and the teaching mode of "self-study examination+distance education" is adopted. Students can study anytime and anywhere, regardless of time and space.
At present, the National Open University has 50 undergraduate majors, 2 1 degree category, and the discipline setting highlights the need to adapt to the market. Established 12 colleges, 47 branch schools and more than 1400 learning centers, covering 3 12 provinces, municipalities, autonomous regions and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan provinces.
The management structure of the National Open University is different from other universities. Its management level includes two levels: central management and local management.
Units directly under the central government (or funded) are directly led and managed by the state administrative department of higher education; Local supporting units are managed by local higher education authorities. This management structure can not only effectively supervise campus management, but also make the school better adapt to local policies and market demand.
As one of the distance education institutions in China, the National Open University has accumulated rich experience in running schools for many years. Through self-study and examination, students can arrange their own study plans, thus maintaining the balance between work and study. In addition, the Open University of China has been at the forefront of the country in teacher training, curriculum design and textbook compilation.
In a word, the Open University of China, as a full-time undergraduate college, has played an active role in promoting distance education and improving the social talent structure by virtue of its own characteristics and advantages.
We believe that the National Open University will continue to play an important role and contribute to the cultivation of high-quality talents under the background of the national policy of continuously optimizing the education system and promoting educational equity.
