Joint running of colleges and universities is a mode of joint running of colleges and universities directly under the Ministry of Education and the people of China. Universities run schools according to the principles of resource sharing, complementary advantages, equality, mutual benefit and mutual promotion.

For example, the Wuhan Seven-School Alliance started to run schools jointly from 1999, allowing students to minor in their second degree across schools and majors. The joint school is composed of seven national key universities: Wuhan University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Huazhong Normal University, Wuhan University of Technology, China Geo University, Huazhong Agricultural University and Zhongnan University of Economics and Law.

Each university has its own characteristics and advantages, and runs schools jointly. Undergraduates in these seven universities can choose any elective or specialized courses in one of them and get a double degree, which is equivalent to "one admission notice can go to seven prestigious universities". Seven key universities in Wuhan, China jointly run schools, which has the longest duration, the most substantial participation in universities, the widest scope of cooperation and the most benefited students in Chinese mainland.

Yan Xinping, vice president of Wuhan University of Technology, was one of the early participants in this mode. He said that each school has its own superior resources, but from the perspective of talent training, colleges and universities should absorb the advantages of other colleges and universities if they want to meet the individualized development needs of students and lay the foundation for students' early knowledge structure and ability as much as possible.

For example, Wuhan University of Technology and Huazhong University of Science and Technology are excellent universities in science and engineering, while Wuhan University and Huazhong Normal University have advantages in humanities, social sciences and basic disciplines. China University is the first famous university in the field of earth science and environmental resources in China, and Huazhong Agricultural University enjoys a high reputation in the whole country. Since the merger of Zhongnan University of Finance and Economics, remarkable progress has been made. If universities learn from each other's strengths, they can meet the professional needs of students as much as possible and cultivate more compound talents.
