The reasons why universities set up multi-campuses are: geographical coverage and resource utilization, population demand and enrollment scale, discipline and specialty advantages and resource integration, regional economic development and industrial demand, local policies and development needs.
1. Regional coverage and resource utilization: By setting up multiple campuses, universities can better cover students in different regions and provide convenient educational resources. This enables students to receive higher education nearby and reduces their learning and living costs.
2. Population demand and enrollment scale: In densely populated areas, the establishment of multiple campuses can meet the greater enrollment demand. This will help to expand the scale and influence of the school and provide more employment opportunities.
3. Discipline advantages and resource integration: universities may have special advantages and resources in specific disciplines. By setting up multiple campuses, universities can better integrate the advantages of these disciplines and form a situation of coordinated development and complementary cooperation. Teachers, scientific research and laboratory resources can be shared between different campuses to improve the overall academic level and teaching quality.
4. Regional economic development and industrial demand: the establishment of multi-campus universities is also closely related to regional economic development and industrial demand. By cooperating with local enterprises, industrial parks and governments, colleges and universities can inject talents and R&D resources into the local economy and provide senior personnel training and scientific research support in related fields.
5. Local policies and development needs: Some local governments may take the initiative to invite universities to set up branch schools to promote local education development, personnel training and regional image enhancement.
