□ Director of Deng Tongji Admissions Office
If students are interested in Tongji, please consider the following five key words first, which may provide some reference for you to choose your major:
Comprehensive. Tongji has 26 colleges and 83 majors, covering liberal arts, science, engineering, medicine, art and other directions. All colleges have established a complete student training system from undergraduate education to doctoral education.
Research type. Tongji University's research ability and some achievements are very important for undergraduates' study.
Internationalization. Future college students should master many languages, learn to communicate with foreigners, and have the opportunity to communicate abroad. This is one of Tongji's goals to train students.
Innovative experimental plan. Tongji entered the first batch of innovative experimental programs approved and supported by the state, which further strengthened the cultivation of students' innovative ability.
Innovative talent training mode. Tongji University now has five new talent training modes, and students who are interested and have special skills can choose to enter. These five models have been approved by the Ministry of Education.
Compared with previous years, Tongji University will try out the "4+2" mode education plan for outstanding engineers in more than 10 engineering majors for the first time this year, and explore new ways to cultivate advanced engineering and technical talents and top-notch innovative talents in cooperation with internationally renowned universities and leading enterprises.
Tongji University is still biased towards Shanghai students, while the total number of candidates in Shanghai continues to decrease at 20 10. In 20 10, Tongji University plans to recruit more than 200 students in Shanghai through various forms of enrollment, including 465 students from Shanghai (345 students in science and 20 students in arts) through the general college entrance examination plan, which is the highest among the "985" universities in Shanghai, and may be based on the admission stage of the college entrance examination. Moreover, in order to prevent high-scoring candidates from failing the list, Tongji University continued to implement the policy of "obeying the adjustment and not quitting the file after entering the file" in provinces and cities in parallel volunteer this year.
Tongji 2009 1 10 freshmen smoothly transferred to the innovative experimental area of talent training mode such as "strengthening mathematical foundation" This year, the reform of personnel training has been intensified, and it is planned to select about 200 freshmen of grades 2065 and 438+00 to enter the relevant experimental area, so that students can clarify their professional aspirations and choose a major that is more suitable for their own development through exploratory study in the experimental area. At the same time, Tongji University continues the policy of changing majors from freshman to sophomore to help students choose their majors more rationally with the deepening of university study. In 20 10, Tongji University will try out the education plan for cultivating outstanding engineers in more than 0/kloc-0 engineering majors, and adopt the "4+2" model to explore new ways to cultivate advanced engineering and technical talents and top-notch innovative talents in cooperation with internationally renowned universities and leading enterprises.
In addition, Tongji University launched a new enrollment policy this year, and will also implement the policy that "the enrollment major of Sino-German Engineering College only accepts candidates who have filled in their professional volunteers" when enrolling students in the college entrance examination.
Going to normal university: traditional advantages and disadvantages are equally important.
□ Head of Admissions, Shanghai Normal University
There are 84 undergraduate majors in Shanghai Normal University, and 82 students are enrolled this year, covering 1 1 in the disciplines of philosophy, economics, law, education, literature and history, science, engineering, management and agronomy promulgated by the Ministry of Education.
Among these majors, normal majors account for about 25%, all of which are included in the undergraduate enrollment in advance. Many students are concerned about whether they must become primary and secondary school teachers after studying normal major. Judging from the current social employment trend, it is a two-way choice. Students can choose their teaching career or display their talents in other fields.
Some traditional advantages of the school, such as Chinese language and literature, history, philosophy, applied psychology, pedagogy, information and computational mathematics, mathematics and applied mathematics, chemistry, environmental engineering, etc. , among the best in domestic universities; Some characteristic majors, such as foreign language major, teaching Chinese as a foreign language, tourism management, exhibition economy and management, advertising, electronic information engineering, elementary education, art design, musicology, dance, performance, broadcasting and hosting, have certain influence in Shanghai and even the whole country. In recent years, 50 undergraduate majors have been added to cater to the social shortage of giving priority to the development of advanced manufacturing and modern service industries in Shanghai.
In order to adapt to the trend of Shanghai's international metropolis construction, the school has also cooperated with some well-known universities and educational institutions in the United States, France, Germany and Britain, and set up Sino-foreign cooperative education majors such as economics, tourism management, computer science and technology, advertising, mechanical design and manufacturing and its automation, electronic engineering information, and civil engineering. Every year, some students go abroad for further study through cooperation in running schools. The school also has Shanghai Education Commission 15 key construction disciplines; Chinese Language and Literature (Base) is the training and scientific research base of liberal arts basic disciplines of the Ministry of Education, and it is also a key discipline in Shanghai. Classical literature major is one of the four bases for cultivating literary talents in China.
This year, there are 7 majors in arts and sciences in Normal University, which are included in one enrollment. These majors are some superior majors, with strong academic strength, the right to award doctoral degrees, strong faculty, mature development and more research funds; In addition, two new majors this year also participated in the enrollment, namely, applied physics and credit management.
This year is the third year of parallel volunteer's reform, and candidates can make full use of this policy. 1. Reasonable arrangement of school volunteers: Candidates should pay attention to the level of the school and the grade difference between schools when reporting schools, especially the school that reported the last volunteer, and the positioning should be lower to ensure that this group can enter a school. 2. Pay attention to the order of reporting majors: If the normal university adopts the policy of extra points, there will be differences in professional levels. Therefore, when candidates fill in their majors, the general situation should be stepped. From high scores to low scores, there should also be certain differences between majors. 3. Carefully fill in the intention of "adjustment": Because in the process of filling in parallel volunteer, candidates only have one opportunity to fill in, and once they are rejected because they are unwilling to adjust or charge high fees, they can only ask for voluntary filling in, which is even more risky.
Shangwai: Boys are welcome to apply.
□ Zhang Feng, Director of Shanghai Foreign Affairs Office
Shanghai International Studies University is known as "one of the birthplaces of higher foreign language education in New China" and "the first foreign language institution in the south of the Yangtze River". It is a national key university directly under the Ministry of Education and a national "2 1 1 project" key university. The school is a multi-disciplinary foreign language university, which is good at the coordinated development of language and literature, literature, teaching, economics, management and law. At present, efforts are being made to build three core competitiveness: language and literature, compound specialty and international education.
At present, Shanghai International Studies University has 34 undergraduate majors, including 12 compound major (major+professional foreign language); 25 master's programs, 2 professional master's degree awarding programs, 9 doctoral programs, 1 postdoctoral mobile station. The Institute of Advanced Translation was rated as the top 15 in the world by the International Association of Conference Interpreters (AIIC), and the doctoral program in translation studies was the national doctoral program in this discipline.
The survey shows that with the increasing internationalization of the domestic market, compound talents with good foreign language proficiency and professional ability are becoming the "darling" of the talent market. Shanghai International Studies University keeps up with the changes in the market. While grasping the basic teaching of foreign languages and giving full play to the advantages of foreign languages, it insists on teaching reform and innovation, and gradually forms a talent training mode with its own characteristics-"four types-auxiliary system" (that is, "foreign language major, professional orientation, dual foreign languages, major+foreign languages, major and minor system, double degree system"), and realizes "excellent entry and excellent exit".
In order to attract more students with excellent academic performance and solid professional thinking to apply for minor language majors, Shanghai has arranged some minor language majors such as Russian, Arabic and Ukrainian in advance this year. At the same time, because some minority language majors enroll students every other year or every three or four years, Persian, Thai, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Hebrew, Swedish, Greek, Dutch and other majors in foreign languages departments have not arranged enrollment plans this year. At present, there is a great demand for talents in small languages. The graduates majoring in small languages mainly work in foreign companies, government agencies and foreign affairs departments. However, the graduate employment situation of students of all majors is very good, and there is no obvious cold and hot phenomenon. The employment rate of college graduates in this school has been among the best for many years.
Candidates should consider both employment and interest when choosing foreign volunteers. At present, the proportion of female students in foreign universities is very high. Boys in Shanghai have advantages in club activities and employment.
In addition, due to the special requirements of language learning, the huge differences between foreign languages, the difficulty of foreign language learning, and the complex, bilingual and directional professional setting of the school, the requirements for students are very high, which is equivalent to the double major setting. However, for students who have the ability to study, the school encourages them to take a second degree or a second major. After completing the required credits and passing the thesis, they can obtain a minor bachelor's degree certificate or a second major certificate.
