Modern universities refer to a group of higher education institutions that rose at the end of 19 and the beginning of the 20th century. Their school-running philosophy is to train talents, to impart knowledge as the main task, to teach by teaching methods, and to set up disciplines of literature, science and engineering. Modern universities refer to higher education institutions in the 20th century, with more emphasis on innovation, openness and diversification, more diversified and flexible teaching methods, and more diversified and comprehensive disciplines. Modern universities pay attention to cultivating students' innovative ability, practical ability and comprehensive quality, and emphasize the individualization and differentiation of education.
The differences between modern universities and modern universities in school-running concepts, teaching methods and subject settings reflect the changes in the background of the times and social needs.
