The purpose of issuing this assessment is also to reduce the phenomenon of "water abundance" and "water abundance" among returned overseas students, especially in the fields of humanities and social sciences.
In short, it is to avoid more and more overseas "water masters" mainly in the fields of humanities and social sciences from entering China.
Online said that China's visit to Haigui University would be a background check?
Is this the "QS" that China people give to foreign universities?
Overseas version "985,211"?
Last week, the Classified Catalogue of Overseas Universities (Humanities and Social Sciences) jointly formulated by the National University Information Research Association and the Evaluation and Research Center of China Renmin University was released in Beijing!
The university center that initiated this survey is Renmin University of China, which recently dropped out of the ranking of QS University.
In view of the following status quo
1, the existing rankings generally emphasize that scientific research is more important than teaching;
2. The existing ranking can not effectively evaluate the level of humanities and social sciences;
3. The existing ranking can not effectively evaluate the quality of personnel training;
Therefore, the research group selected philosophy, language and literature, history, art, business administration, economics, law, sociology, political science, public administration, journalism and communication, book and information management, education and other three internationally accepted humanities and social sciences as the evaluation objects, and made an evaluation of the related disciplines of more than 10000 overseas academic institutions from two dimensions of academic innovation and talent training.
Professor Zhou Guangli, vice president of the National University Information Research Association, dean of the School of Education of Renmin University of China and executive director of the Evaluation Research Center, said: "At present, the two major foreign language databases in the world, the Web of Science in the United States and Scopus in Europe, are more inclined to natural science. The Evaluation and Research Center of China Renmin University specializes in humanities and social sciences, and now it has basically built the third largest database in the world, specializing in research and evaluation of humanities and social sciences. "
The top 2% is rated as A+, the top 5% is rated as A, the top 65,438+00% is rated as A-, the top 40% is rated as B, and the top 70% is rated as C, from which the disciplines (humanities and social sciences) of overseas universities are obtained.
On the basis of grading evaluation of disciplines, the research group further weighted and summarized the academic institutions selected from disciplines A+, A and A- in 13 within the evaluation scope, and obtained the Classified Catalogue of Comprehensive Competitiveness of Overseas Universities (Humanities and Social Sciences). The top 2% of the comprehensive scores were rated as Class A, the top 5% as Class B and the rest as Class C..
In fact, this can also be regarded as a ranking, which is a reference ranking made by China people specially for humanities and social sciences, and also provides educational information support for enterprises and students to recruit talents and study abroad.
At present, the Baidu entry in the subject classification catalogue of overseas universities (humanities and social sciences) has been updated.
China Education News Network also released specific news.
In short, ranking naturally produces results.
In the rating results, nine humanities and social sciences disciplines from Harvard University in the United States rank first among overseas universities, while the University of California at Berkeley, Stanford University, Oxford University and Amsterdam University each have 1 humanities and social sciences disciplines rank first among overseas universities.
The screenshots of the currently published university scores are as follows.
List of Class A schools:
There are many American schools in List A, including Oxford and Cambridge in Britain, and the University of Sydney in Australia.
List of Class B schools:
B There are many familiar faces on the list, such as Loughborough University, Western Australia University and Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology.
List of Class C schools:
Also dominated by American universities, the Dutch Open University is on the list.
In terms of professional classification, some screenshots of the current classification are as follows.
philosophy
Oxford University ranks first! Harvard is second, and Cambridge is third.
In addition, the University of Edinburgh and King's College London also entered this list.
Legal science
Cambridge University, Oxford University, University College London and Melbourne University in Australia are all on the list! The rest are American universities ~
enterprise management
Harvard University is still firmly in the first place, while the University of Surrey and the University of Leeds in Britain rank in the top ten. The University of Queensland in Australia and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University in Hong Kong, China are both on the list!
Other overseas university disciplines (humanities and social sciences) are listed as follows.
After the press conference, netizens talked about it.
Some people can't wait to get a complete list. Some people spit out their names after quitting the rankings, while others questioned the reliability of the list.
In any case, ranking and research in other disciplines are still improving. Perhaps this evaluation is a useful exploration for actively participating in global higher education governance and establishing China's independent transnational education quality evaluation standard.
However, if this is used as a means to control the chaos of "water theory", the result is still unknown for the time being.
So students can use it as a reference for choosing a school. After all, we applied for GPA and excellent language scores. Both schools are not bad, so naturally, there is no "water quality".
