Xinjiang University is the second batch of national key universities in 1978, and the first batch of universities in1/project. Now it is the only "2 1 1 engineering" university in Xinjiang. From the autumn of 2007, higher vocational colleges will no longer recruit junior college students, and the school will develop to the main line of "focusing on undergraduate education and vigorously developing postgraduate education". The following is a detailed introduction of the school: Xinjiang University is located at the foot of the towering Tianshan Mountains, Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. It is a comprehensive university with the largest scale, the longest history, the most comprehensive disciplines and the highest scientific research level in Xinjiang. It is the only national key university in Xinjiang, and one of the "2 11project" 100 universities that the state has been building in 21century. It is a joint venture between the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Education. Xinjiang University is a school with a long history and glorious revolutionary tradition. Its predecessor was Xinjiang Institute of Russian Politics and Law, which was founded in 1924. 1928 was renamed Xinjiang Provincial Russian School of Political Science and Law in August, 1930 was changed to Xinjiang Russian College of Political Science and Law in September, and 1935 10 was transformed into Xinjiang College. During the period of 1938- 194 1, a group of educators, artists and progressives came to our school as leaders and progressives. 19501kloc-0/,Xinjiang University was renamed Xinjiang Institute for Nationalities. 1953165438+10 In October, the veterinary class of the Department of Animal Husbandry of Northwest University for Nationalities was merged into Xinjiang University for Nationalities. 1954 was renamed Xinjiang college. 1 960 65438+1October1,Xinjiang University was formally established. Xinjiang University 1962 merged with Xinjiang Normal University, and in July 1962, three engineering majors of Xinjiang University were incorporated into Xinjiang Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. 1978 was identified by the State Council as the only national key university in Xinjiang. 1April, 979, Xinjiang University was designated as Xinjiang Normal University by the Teacher Training Department and Sanping Branch. /kloc-0 was listed as the national "2 1 1 project" key construction university in June, 1997, and was confirmed as the national key construction university for western development in 2000. Xinjiang Institute of Technology was formerly the Mine Technical School of Sino-Soviet Nonferrous Metals Company, which was established in 1953+ 10. In June 1955, it was renamed as Urumqi Mining School of the Ministry of Heavy Industry; in September 1956, it was renamed as Urumqi Mining School of the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry; in July 1958, it was renamed as Xinjiang Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. On June 20, 2000, the Ministry of Education issued document 10. [2000] 174, approved the merger of Xinjiang University and Xinjiang Institute of Technology to form a new Xinjiang University. 65438+On February 30th, 2000, Xinjiang University and Xinjiang Institute of Technology merged to form a new Xinjiang University. In 2004, Xinjiang University was formally incorporated into the "Provincial University" of the People's Government of Xinjiang Autonomous Region by the Ministry of Education. There are more than 9000 junior college students 1856 master students/kloc-0, 65438 doctoral students and 353 professional master students. The school has formed a multi-level and relatively complete higher education system such as undergraduate, master and doctor. Xinjiang University is a high-level scientific research base in the autonomous region. Since the Tenth Five-Year Plan, the number of projects and funds approved by the National Natural Science Foundation of China has accounted for 40% and 50% of the projects and funds approved by scientific research units and universities in the whole autonomous region respectively. The vertical and horizontal research projects and funds obtained by the school account for 50% of the autonomous region. The headquarters, north campus and south campus of Xinjiang University Branch cover an area of 3,689 mu with a building area of 900,000 square meters. The school has a modern digital library and gymnasium, high-level teaching and research facilities, strong teachers and a good learning and academic environment, which has become an important base for talent training and scientific research in the autonomous region. The College of Life Science and Technology of Xinjiang University has developed rapidly in the "2 1 1" project and the construction of regional key universities. The college has developed from a science department to a comprehensive college that is compatible with science and engineering, and has trained more than 5,000 talents in biological science and food science for the society. The college is located in the headquarters of Xinjiang University, with a building area of 4,208 square meters. At present, the college has three departments, namely, Department of Ecology and Resource Biology, Department of Biotechnology and Department of Food Science and Engineering. At present, the college has four undergraduate majors: biological science, biotechnology, biological engineering, food science and engineering. The first-class master's degree in biology is awarded to majors and food science and engineering majors, including 8 master's degrees, doctor's degree in zoology 1 one, and he is a postdoctoral fellow in the project of Xinjiang Key Laboratory of Biological Resources Genes. Full-time undergraduate students 1048, master students 139, doctoral students 16, and 2 postdoctoral students. Vocational education practitioners 102, including 83 full-time teachers, 9 professors, 33 associate professors, 38 lecturers and 3 teaching assistants. Experimental management personnel 19, including experimental personnel 14 and management personnel 5. The main courses of the college are animal biology, plant biology, biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, microbiology, molecular biology, fermentation engineering, food chemistry, food technology, genetic engineering and biopharmaceuticals, among which molecular biology, biochemistry and cell biology are the key construction courses of Xinjiang University. Zoology is a key discipline at the autonomous region level. Biochemistry and molecular biology are excellent courses in Xinjiang University, and molecular biology is also excellent courses in autonomous region. Relying on the conditions of the key laboratory of molecular biology, improving the innovation ability of undergraduates won the second prize of national higher education achievements. Xinjiang Key Laboratory of Biological Resources Genes was approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology to become the cultivation base of the State Key Laboratory. In 2005, it was rated as the only excellent laboratory in the autonomous region and became one of the most advanced laboratories in Xinjiang. At present, the college undertakes more than 20 national and provincial research projects and publishes more than 60 core journal papers every year. The undergraduate training level of the college is relatively high, and the admission rate of master students ranks first in the school for a long time. With the development of life science, there is a demand for talents, and graduates have good employment prospects. After graduation, I can engage in teaching, scientific research, biological gene screening and biopharmaceuticals, biological resources development and utilization and biotechnology application, bioengineering and food technology research, health and epidemic prevention, quality and technical supervision, plant tissue culture technology and so on.
