-20 18 update
Recently, the school has made the largest investment in scientific instruments since the founding of the People's Republic of China, buying five cryoelectron microscopes and corresponding tens of millions of supercomputing platforms. The scientific research conditions are very good. It was originally the management center of Zhangjiang National Science and Technology Innovation Center.
Updated on may 20 18.
In view of all the characters in the post bar, there are also various opinions in Zhihu. I used to occasionally see and express some opinions, but I found that these were very weak and would be considered as black or blowing. Or the water army or something. Therefore, I deliberately left some personal opinions on the post bar for the reference of candidates who wish to apply for our college, mainly aiming at several problems that I often explain to others.
Not to mention the advantages of going to HKUST. With the full support of scientific instruments and teachers of Chinese Academy of Sciences, foreign big cows and bosses have set up laboratories, and all of them have achieved some good results. There is no shortage of funds and hardware facilities, and it should be inevitable to rank in the top few. The faculty is very strong, and graduate students can choose Daniel from Chinese Academy of Sciences and HKUST's teachers, with a high platform. Caring for students is very counter-productive. So I mainly want to say a few shortcomings.
First, there are some problems in the early days of the school, such as the limited number of doctoral transfer places and the unclear diplomas issued after graduation. Therefore, many students say that they should scold the school leaders for inaction and the managers for not having the right to speak.
It's almost five years since I went to the University of Science and Technology, and the independent enrollment qualification specially approved by the Ministry of Education on 20 17 no longer depends on the quota of Chinese Academy of Sciences. Then the problem of changing majors is solved. Many students who didn't transfer to a doctor's degree have postponed their transfer to a doctor's degree for one year. It left a bad influence on this doctoral student. And before he was five years old, he had obtained a doctorate in materials science. Although the construction was stopped, it was also approved. It is also the fastest school in China to approve doctoral programs since the founding of the People's Republic of China. There is no doubt that this should be an objective fact. As for the diploma, at the beginning of school, President Wu Jiarui's original words were that if the master's degree didn't come down, your first batch of independent graduate students could still issue the diploma of Chinese Academy of Sciences. I won't say anything else.
Second, there are few full-time cows in schools, all of which exist in name only. Compared with South University of Science and Technology, they have more full-time academicians, thousands of them. The students are also very poor and have received a lot of adjustment.
On this issue, I think, first, I was less than five years old when I went to HKUST, and I just had the first-class hardware conditions for domestic scientific research. Although South University of Science and Technology is nominally only two years older than the previous department, in the year of my college entrance examination, that is, 20 13, South University of Science and Technology came to our Yichun Middle School to give a lecture on enrollment, which mentioned that the first undergraduate students of South University of Science and Technology did not get the diploma recognized by the Ministry of Education. Therefore, the enrollment and teacher introduction of South University of Science and Technology is not only two years earlier than that of Shanghai University of Science and Technology. According to the data, the 20 13 full-time teachers of South University of Science and Technology are the same as the 20 18 full-time teachers of Shanghai University of Science and Technology. And now thousands of young people are not lost to other schools.
(2), Lin, Daniel personally check, the selection of teachers is very critical, and will not strictly judge a scientific research worker according to the hat of talents or not. In fact, some teachers who don't have too many talent hats have also published heavy scientific research results, such as teacher Chen Jia of the School of Life.
(3) This year, a Nobel Prize winner was added to the Academy of Biological Sciences. The full professor of Tianjin University jumped ship (Qian Qing) and the full professor of Sun Yat-sen University jumped ship (it seems that there are thousands of people). I'm not showing off anything. I just want to explain that going to HKUST is not a bad thing for teachers. Last year, a full professor from Zhejiang University was hired as an associate professor, and two distinguished researchers from Tsinghua were equivalent to senior associate professors when they were in Tsinghua. Although they failed to pass Tsinghua's exam in the end, it was also because their articles were not published before the exam. At that time, Mr. Gao contributed to the CELL, and later transferred to it, which is already fast. Teacher NN was published after being dismissed by Tsinghua. This is a very influential field. Secondly, they were awarded the title of associate professor by HKUST. Their academic level is also worthy of recognition.
④ Starting from the 20th19th session, distinguished professor, studying in HKUST and Chinese Academy of Sciences, was the first student who voluntarily applied for or transferred to HKUST. The time to receive the transmission from CAS has passed. The eliminated Chinese Academy of Sciences students can no longer choose to come to HKUST for joint training.
The difference between full-time Daniel and part-time Daniel is not that big. As long as they are willing to pay for the school, they are also decisive figures. Reference can be made to Ray Stevens, Director of the Institute of Ehuman, distinguished professor. Without him, there would be no grand occasion of sending four or five CNS papers in HKUST. He is also one of the adjunct professors, but his appearance in HKUST is almost the same as that in America. In the research group of Nobel Prize winners, one * * * four Nobel Prize winners, one of whom has just joined, have a bad evaluation. The nuclear magnetic group is also considered as a highly rated Nobel Prize group. Roger's group has made a very good breakthrough in the study of vector structural biology. Rothman Group led and established a cooperative laboratory between Yale and Shanghai University of Science and Technology, and provided a very sophisticated microscope for Shanghai University of Science and Technology.
⑥ In the first two years of the school, because Shanghai University of Science and Technology began to recruit students with the help of teachers from Chinese Academy of Sciences, it received a lot of adjustment, but its popularity has not yet reached. The quality of transfer students accepted today is completely different from that of the first session. The admission ratio and graduation institutions are still relatively strict.
Third, there is no innovation in postgraduate courses, which is similar to traditional universities. Unlike innovative universities.
The postgraduate courses of Life College use foreign courses, and even directly invite teachers from world-class universities such as Yale University to teach at HKUST. But the effect seems to be not good, and students have a lot of opinions. The school is also constantly adjusting the teaching methods of the students according to the current source of students and domestic educational background. In addition, a small number of undergraduates are criticized for using courses that are in line with international standards, saying that the content of the postgraduate entrance examination is different from what they have studied. Therefore, it has affected my postgraduate entrance examination results. To sum up, it is not that the school is lazy or unwilling to work hard, but it is really difficult to adjust.
Fourth, diplomas affect employment.
First of all, there are no graduate students in the world looking for jobs with HKUST diplomas. I wonder where this statement comes from. And get HKUST diploma and enjoy the highest grade point in Shanghai. Undergraduate students studying at HKUST University seem to have a high enrollment rate. The specifications of enterprise tutors and job fairs provided by the school also seem to be very high. It seems that many students have found good jobs. Secondly, if we take the academic road, the diploma seems to be just a dead letter. What matters is academic performance and so on. Students are particularly red cards, which makes it difficult to find a job, but students majoring in biology and biology earn an annual salary of 10 million. I think it still depends on human efforts.
Fifth, Daniel left one after another because of school problems.
The School of Information left three full professors and three young professors. Among the full professors, one is the founding dean who retired after a successful career, and the other is the second dean who needs to go to the United States to accompany his family and something unfortunate has happened at home. Three Qian Qing went to other 985 colleges and universities, all with full professorship and very high annual salary, which smacked of vicious competition. Last year and this year, the Institute of Physical Education jumped ship and joined the Institute of Physical Education, leaving one or two young people behind. One of them went to Shanghai Jiaotong University, because his former tutor went to another school as the dean, and he went back to help his tutor manage the laboratory of Jiaotong University. Aside from these, the talent introduction of HKUST has always been the introduction of good talents. I don't know why the free flow of talents will be maliciously hyped by the media or others. This year, Zhang Shousheng also joined the Shanghai University of Science and Technology, and plans to establish a cutting-edge science and technology research institute. Zhang Shousheng, a talented scientist, is also working part-time, but we have reason to believe that he will definitely do a very beautiful job in HKUST.
Sixth, we don't have 50,000 masters and 100,000 doctors in south university of science and technology of china, so the salary is still relatively poor.
According to the latest salary level, some senior doctors in the School of Life have received 7 100 months (joint training). At present, the first-year master's degree is 3,000, 3,000 1 and 3,200. The so-called doctor of South University of Science and Technology is 100,000, which consists of 10,000 tuition fees and a part of competitive scholarships. In fact, it is either equal to Shanghai University of Science and Technology or not much higher.
These are the questions I answered the most, and I'm tired, so I don't want to explain any more. I hope that by leaving some words, we can help you better understand Shanghai University. I don't mean to brag or brag, I just want to explain what I understand and what I see.
Update again: Some people say that there is no advantage in going to HKUST and other universities. The advantage of going to HKUST lies in exploring new systems and modes, which is essentially different from traditional universities in many aspects. Students in our school say that the traditional 985 is the same as going to HKUST, because they don't know much about it, and they may spend their time on other things instead of studying. It makes no difference if you don't spend it on your studies.
For example, the faculty studying at HKUST is the rule of permanent track, and it is the first university in China that meets the requirements of foreign processes and the teacher standards of universities ranked around 20-30 in the world. The assistant professor who went to HKUST went to other 985 and handed them over to the full professor. The associate professor of HKUST University is either another full professor in 1985, or someone who has obtained a tenured associate professor abroad or is waiting for a position. According to internal sources, several full-time professors will be stationed in HKUST, including a full-time professor from a top foreign university and an associate professor from Harvard. The distinguished teachers are the best Daniel research group of Chinese Academy of Sciences plus Nobel Prize winners and other Daniel. Starting this year, it is the first time to apply for these people, instead of relying on the adjustment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, so Shanghai University of Science and Technology has provided almost the top teachers in the country for graduate students. (The best professor of Chinese Academy of Sciences plus HKUST, a teacher recruited according to the standards of world-class universities, plus the overseas academician research group of the Academy of Fine Arts)
All of HKUST's English is outsourced to EF Education, and everyone knows how expensive it is. Politics, physical education and other courses are taught by dean figures from Fudan University and Jiaotong University. Physical education is a famous teacher of Shanghai Institute of Physical Education. And all kinds of lectures are gathered by Master Daniel. The highest-level lectures at Shanghai University of Science and Technology have attracted giants such as the US Secretary of Energy and two consecutive central bank governors. Specifications and figures are unmatched by other universities in China. In addition, the curriculum of Chuangguan College is dedicated to providing a series of knowledge from entrepreneurs to scientists. Including leadership, communication skills, how to do scientific research, how to manage the team, financial knowledge and so on. The courses of Creative College are all invited by overseas cows, providing almost the most cutting-edge art education and enlightening the hearts of science and engineering students. Only a great mind can have a great personality. These courses are almost only available in Shanghai University of Science and Technology.
The salary of graduate students is almost the highest in the country, and the courses and materials colleges are directly taught by Daniel, such as academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Life College is the most famous Bio 2000 system course in China, which is attended by Tsinghua Peking University and Shanghai Institute of Life Sciences. The Institute of Information directly introduces the courses of world-class universities, which are taught in English, with high difficulty coefficient and high gold content.
In terms of scientific research conditions, the funds are sufficient. Start-up capital is about 3 million per assistant professor. 300 Wan Li does not include the money for buying instruments. Assistant professors can afford millions of two-photon microscopes or four million optical tweezers. Moreover, this year, it has undertaken the largest investment in scientific instruments since the founding of the People's Republic of China (654.38+000 billion). Directly integrated with Zhangjiang Laboratory, many teachers have to set up laboratories in Zhangjiang Laboratory. Almost all scientific instruments have participated in the construction of Shanghai University of Science and Technology. Needless to say, the scientific research conditions.
Starting with leadership, two academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences were added as vice presidents this year. Several colleges and research institutes are led by the top American academic super-bulls. Don't think it's a part-time job. Teachers are personally selected by these heads, led by Daniel such as Yale, Harvard and Stanford. Domestic Daniel does not have this appeal. Moreover, these people often come to HKUST, and all of them have established laboratories in HKUST, and they have done a good job. For example, the Institute of Immunology led the human 3D genome project in the name of its Nobel Prize winner, Shanghai University of Science and Technology, in collaboration with Stanford and California Institute of Technology. Ihuman started the plan to build a human virtual human body this year. The person in charge is also the director, and he is a super cow of structural biology. This year, the School of Life has joined many Daniel who have been professors abroad and will be employed soon. Moreover, several teachers have contributed magazines with an impact factor of more than 40 points. It is estimated that you will all see these great achievements within one year.
In terms of employment, 72% of students who graduated from HKUST with a bachelor's degree or above went to places such as Harvard Full Prize, and about 20% of them were employed. Many of them are well-known enterprises in China and even in the world, such as Novartis Bio.
