What are the 985 Normal University?
There are two 985 normal schools, namely Beijing Normal University and East China Normal University. The 985 Project is an important decision made by the government of China in May 1998, aiming at building a world-class university. The first batch of universities that entered the 985 Project included 9 universities including Peking University, Tsinghua University, China University of Science and Technology, Fudan University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Xi Jiaotong University, Nanjing University, Zhejiang University and Harbin Institute of Technology. Since then, other universities have joined in. By 20 17, 39 universities had been selected for the 985 project. These universities not only enjoy a high reputation and influence in China, but also internationally. The characteristic of Project 985 is that once selected, these universities will not quit, forming a stable support mechanism. In contrast, the 2 1 1 project was another key support plan before the 985 project, but the 21/engineering university is not necessarily the 985 engineering university. Now, the China Municipal Government has put forward the strategy of "double first-class", aiming at further improving the overall level of higher education in China, in which all 985 engineering universities were selected as double first-class, showing their strength and importance. To sum up, the 985 Project is an important policy implemented by the China government to improve the level of domestic higher education, aiming at building a number of world-class first-class universities. For students who are interested in further study, being admitted to 985 University of Engineering is undoubtedly a very valuable opportunity.
