First of all, teacher
There are seven research institutes in the Department of Economics, and the teaching staff is still very strong. The teachers mentioned by everyone in the School of Economics, Wang Tongsan and Wei of IFAD are all very good. In the teacher's words, half of the big names in economics are related to the Academy of Social Sciences.
One of the characteristics of the Academy of Social Sciences is that there are more teachers and fewer students. It takes a teacher several years to take care of a student, and the relationship between the teacher and the student is very good. Really a lifelong teacher. And the teacher will take you to do any project without competition. I'm afraid you have no desire to learn, so there is no way out.
2. Pay attention to investigation and study
Although I am from the Law Institute, I have cooperated with a teacher of the Agricultural Development Institute on a project because there are few students. Last year, a pilot reform policy of the Ministry of Agriculture needed to be investigated and implemented and entrusted to our teachers. The teacher led us to investigate in Hebei, went deep into 30 villages in three cities, and learned about the agricultural economy and reform pilot on the spot. Provide empirical data for the national rural agricultural reform. I found it very meaningful and learned a lot. There are many projects and surveys like this.
One of the characteristics of social science is that unlike many university teachers, they rely entirely on imagination and write papers behind closed doors. We will pay special attention to investigation and study. At this point, I think the economics of social science universities is in the forefront of the country.
Investigate in Hebei
3. Teaching system
There are not many courses for graduate students, and professional courses are almost taught one-on-one in graduate schools, which may have advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that there are fewer courses and more independent time for students. Most of them are self-taught, especially when they have time to take CPA exams. Is this really important? . The disadvantage is that teaching may not be as good as other university systems, with fewer courses and more lectures. If the consciousness is not high, you will feel that you have learned nothing after three or four years. Therefore, many times it still depends on consciousness ~
Finally, if your score is enough to make northerners want to do foreign trade, but you don't want to do academics, go to these universities. If you don't get enough grades and want to do academic work, the Academy of Social Sciences is still a very good choice.
The above is my understanding, I hope it will help you. Welcome to China Academy of Social Sciences, thank you ~
