Tsinghua and Peking University, both the best schools in China, are the twin constellations of the mainland. With the rise of Chinese mainland's economy, it has made continuous progress in recent years, and its influence on the international stage will be greater and greater in the future.
Tsinghua was a pure university of science and engineering 20 years ago, but since the 1990s, the liberal arts disciplines that dominated China before liberation have been continuously restored. At present, the reconstructed arts and sciences can introduce all kinds of first-class talents, especially many overseas famous returnees, and vigorously recruit talents from domestic famous schools because they have no historical burden. Therefore, in recent ten years, arts and sciences in Tsinghua have developed rapidly, including law, journalism and communication, sociology, public management, international relations, philosophy and so on. Although the scale is still a little small, the teachers of arts and sciences and academic level in Tsinghua are superb. In addition, Tsinghua also vigorously develops the discipline of economic management, as well as the disciplines of economy, management, finance, accounting, marketing and human resources. Dr. Haigui, a famous school, has been vigorously introduced, which is the most dynamic economic management discipline group in China at present. Of course, Tsinghua's traditional engineering is still very tough, especially information science, which has no rivals in China. The best is the computer, which broke the record for China at the top academic conference.
Peking University has a huge group of arts and sciences. Traditional liberal arts are still very strong, but the newly established humanities, such as the School of Journalism and Communication, are not as good as the Tsinghua School of Journalism established at the same time. Because of the talent gap in many disciplines, although the scale is very large and there are not many top academic talents, the overall strength of Peking University's liberal arts is still the strongest because of its very large scale. There is also a huge science discipline group in Peking University, which was recognized as the best 20 years ago. However, since 2000, the science department of Peking University has been overstaffed, and the academic level is not proportional to the scale. The advantages of those years have disappeared, and many disciplines have been surpassed by Tsinghua and HKUST. But on the whole, the science department of Peking University is huge and strong. In recent years, Peking University is also vigorously developing new engineering courses, but these so-called new engineering courses are just a makeover of mechanics and materials, which are far from the real engineering courses.
