The pedagogy of Soviet University is smaller than that of Nanjing Normal University. After all, Nanjing Normal University is a university specializing in education, and its strength ranks among the best in the country. However, the pedagogic strength of SUDA is not bad. Its predecessor was the Education Department of Jiangsu Normal University, and it also has the foundation of educating teachers. This is also the reason why many students choose Suzhou University without being admitted to Nanjing Normal University.

The teaching of pedagogy major in Su Da is still recommended, because the competition in South Normal University is too fierce and the enrollment is relatively small, so Su Da is a better choice.
