University major
1, science and engineering major, refers to the study of science and engineering two major disciplines, science and engineering colleges, refers to the colleges and universities with science and engineering major as the main discipline.
2. Finance and Economics is an institution whose major is finance and economics.
3. Normal education refers to the normal education in colleges and universities.
4, medicine, refers to the medical profession as the main discipline of colleges and universities.
5. Ethnic groups can be divided into two categories: central ministries and commissions and local ethnic colleges.
6, agriculture and forestry, refers to colleges and universities with agriculture and forestry as the main discipline.
7. Politics and law refers to institutions of higher learning with law and political science as their main disciplines.
8. Language refers to institutions of higher learning with language as their major.
9. Art studies, the goal is to cultivate talents with various professional knowledge who can engage in education and practice in various professional categories.
1, according to the division of competent departments
Most of the "double-class" universities are directly under the Ministry of Education, which may be the main consideration of most parents and candidates; Other central ministries and commissions also have their own directly affiliated universities, such as Harbin Institute of Technology under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. There are also some provincial universities and independent colleges, and the universities directly under the central ministries and commissions have advantages over these provincial universities, such as funds and teaching resources.
At present, universities directly under the central ministries and commissions118; There are 2838 colleges and universities managed by local governments, and the number is very large. If you want to be admitted to universities directly under the central ministries, you naturally need high marks. If you can't reach the score line, there are still many good provincial universities, which need everyone to know in advance.
2, according to the type of school.
China University can be roughly divided into research universities, applied universities and technical universities according to the types of running schools.
Research University: A university that provides more undergraduate majors and bachelor's degrees, focuses on research and is committed to high-level personnel training and scientific research and development. That is, the number of graduate students in universities is equivalent to the number of undergraduates, or the number of graduate students accounts for a large proportion.
Application-oriented university: an undergraduate college that is application-oriented rather than scientific research-oriented. Focusing on undergraduate education, we will provide talent support and intellectual services around the needs of industries and local pillar industries, the development of strategic emerging industries and social development.
Universities of Applied Sciences University of Technology is a local undergraduate and junior college aiming at cultivating applied technical talents.
3. According to the characteristics of running a school
Characteristic types: including science and engineering, normal university, agriculture and forestry, language, sports, medicine, finance and economics, politics and law, art and nationality.
Such universities can generally be seen from their names, such as Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing Forestry University, Beijing Normal University and Central University of Finance and Economics. It is best for characteristic universities to apply for their characteristic majors, because these characteristic majors are supported by the school, and the school will give more help in terms of teachers and education funds.
Comprehensive: Generally speaking, there must be at least ten disciplines to become a comprehensive university, such as Peking University Tsinghua.
At present, most key universities are comprehensive universities or are changing to comprehensive universities. Entering such a university is more suitable for students who have no clear plans for the future, and they can slowly find the future direction in their study.
4. According to the level of running a school
There used to be "985 Project" and "2 1 1 Project" universities, but now they have become "double-class". There are 140 "double-class" universities, of which112 "211"
In addition to "double first-class", it can basically be divided into provincial key undergraduate colleges, ordinary colleges, independent colleges, private colleges and so on.
"Double-class" institutions are of course the key consideration for everyone. If the score is not enough, you can also consider provincial key institutions. Such colleges and universities can get the key support from the education department in the province, and also have certain recognition in the province, which is relatively good.
What's the difference between a comprehensive college class and a science and engineering class?
Generally speaking, comprehensive universities are rich in disciplines and involve many categories, but they also have the characteristics of that university.
Strong professionalism, strong professionalism. Of course, the university of science and engineering takes science and engineering as a strong discipline, and the school only has science and engineering.
There are few other majors in science and engineering. In fact, domestic comprehensive universities can be regarded as a single type of university (science and engineering or literature and history). Universities in China like to develop in many directions, but they are not developing well. Even comprehensive universities are only good at their own strong disciplines, and everything else is average except famous universities.
For example, science and liberal arts at Peking University are better. To choose a university, we must first look at its strong disciplines, and then look at its comprehensive strength. It's better this way.
The current situation of university classification in China;
1. There are many universities in China, but their international competitiveness is not strong. When considering the classification of research universities, we basically learn from the classification standards of other countries in order to put our research universities on the stage of international competition. As a result, the proportion of research universities in China is too small, which is not commensurate with China's strategy of "rejuvenating the country through science and education".
2. Compared with other countries' research universities, China's research universities already have considerable international competitiveness in personnel training, but they still need to be improved in terms of teachers' personal research ability and comprehensive strength of universities.
3. Compared with other countries, China's research universities receive less government research funds, which is far from the goal of building an internationally competitive research university in China.
4. The lack of widely influential scientific research output is the main index limiting the number of research universities in China. Although the scientific research output of universities has been greatly improved in recent years, compared with developed countries, the per capita index is still relatively low.
