The admission scores of Shenzhen University and Jinan University are similar, the number of dominant disciplines is equivalent, the geographical position is quite advantageous, and the school rankings are not far apart. They are all very good universities and are worth applying for. The biggest gap between the two schools is mainly in the history of the school. Shenzhen University has a relatively short running time, which is highly valued by the state and has great potential for future development, while Jinan University has a long history and a deeper cultural background, with a large number of first-class undergraduate majors. Jinan University: 18 national first-class undergraduate majors and 9 provincial first-class undergraduate majors; Shenzhen University: 15 national first-class undergraduate majors and 4 provincial first-class undergraduate majors.
Jinan University is the first overseas Chinese university founded by the government in China. The word "Jin 'an" comes from Shangshu Gong Yu: "The east is gradually in the sea, the west is in quicksand, and the south is combined, which teaches the world." It means facing South Asia and spreading Chinese culture. At present, the school is a national "double-class" construction university jointly established by the Central United Front Work Department, the Ministry of Education and Guangdong Province, and is directly under the management of the Central United Front Work Department. Jinan University is one of the oldest universities in China. The school's predecessor was Jinan School, which was founded by the Qing government in Nanjing on 1906. Later, it moved to Shanghai, and 1927 was renamed as National Jinan University.
