However, there used to be a ministerial-level college in China, and this school is the Military Engineering College of the People's Liberation Army of China. This school mainly trains military engineers. Because it is located in Harbin, it is also called "Harbin Military Industry", and its first president is General Chen Geng.
However, the school officially began to migrate from 65438 to 0970, in which the rocket engineering department, electronic engineering department and computer department moved to Changsha and became Changsha Institute of Technology. The Air Force Engineering Department moved to Xi 'an, merged into Northwestern Polytechnical University and so on. In addition to being merged into the departments of other universities, the former Harbin military industry has been decomposed into Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin Engineering University, Changsha University of Technology and Harbin Institute of Aerodynamics after many relocations and changes of school sites. Moreover, the original school site of Harbin Military Industry is now Harbin Engineering University.
Provincial and ministerial level
The difference between vice-ministerial universities and ministerial universities
In China, all undergraduate universities have their own administrative levels at the main department level, and all junior colleges have their own administrative levels at the deputy department level.
The reason why there are vice-ministerial colleges and universities is that the presidents and party secretaries of these colleges and universities are cadres directly managed by the central government, and their own administrative level is the vice-ministerial level.
Therefore, the main difference between vice-ministerial universities and ministerial universities lies in the administrative level of the presidents of these universities. The administrative level of university presidents at the main hall level is the main hall level, and the administrative level of university presidents at the deputy ministerial level is the deputy ministerial level.
Among the 32 vice-ministerial colleges and universities in China, 365 and 438+0 are all 985 colleges and universities directly under the central government. There is also the 1 military school, which is the National Defense University of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
985 universities are not vice-ministerial universities, but ministerial universities, namely Hunan University, Northeastern University, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, South China University of Technology, East China Normal University, China Ocean University and Minzu University of China.
It is worth mentioning that military schools are different from ordinary universities in administrative level, and now the administrative level of military schools is between the deputy corps level and the deputy corps level.
The administrative level of the National Defense University is the deputy corps level, which is directly managed by the Central Military Commission, so this university can also be regarded as a deputy ministerial university. Moreover, the administrative level of the National Defense University used to be a military-level university, which can be called a ministerial-level university, but after the military reform in 20 17, it became a deputy military level.
Historically, there was a university in China that was really a ministerial university. This institution is China People's Liberation Army Military Engineering University. Since Harbin was founded, it has been called Harbin Military Industry for short. Harbin Military Industry used to be a corps-level unit directly under the Central Military Commission, with a higher level than the Ministry of Education. It is also the only key university in the first five-year plan of New China. The military school with the strongest national defense strength, National University of Defense Technology, is only at the level of deputy military region, so it is no problem to say that Harbin military industry is the only ministerial-level university. However, the military industry in Harbin no longer exists, and the military industry department has now been allocated to colleges and universities. National University of Defense Technology is the largest institution in the merger of Harbin's military departments, which has played an important role in enhancing the strength of National University of Defense Technology.
