First of all, the first-class institutions in China that recruit graduate students majoring in urban planning are Tongji University, Chongqing University, Tsinghua University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Southeast University, South China University of Technology and Xi University of Architecture and Technology.

Schools with national key disciplines of urban planning and design include Tongji University, Chongqing University and Tsinghua University.

There are also some schools that are better and relatively easy to test:

Suzhou Institute of Science and Technology, shenyang jianzhu university, Tianjin University, Dalian University of Technology, Shandong Jianzhu University, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Southwest Jiaotong University, etc.

Tongji is the most competitive (but Tongji doesn't accept quick questions at the initial test), followed by Tsinghua, Zhong Da and Huazhong Science and Technology.

Suzhou Science and Technology, Shenyang Construction Engineering and Shandong Construction Engineering, including Xi 'an Construction, have a little less competition. Although it is an old eight school, there are not many students who want to take the exam there, and the competition is small.

If you want to take the exam, practice urban planning and design from now on (practice hand-drawing and read books on urban planning and design) and recommend several books: "Principles of Urban Planning" (edited by Tongji, basically tested in any school); Principles and design methods of residential area planning (big edition, which is used to learn residential area design), 50 quick questions of urban planning (big edition, quick questions of learning).

These schools basically have to take an examination of urban planning and design (6 hours), which requires a certain degree of design and drawing skills, but overall it is still very good. You are not required to draw well (of course, you will get extra points if you draw well). As long as it can basically meet the design requirements, it will generally pass. But you must practice more.

As for the content of the initial test and re-examination, it is easy to find. It is easy to find "* * * University 20 1 1 Admissions Guide" on the Internet.

I'll just give you a brief statement:

1, politics 2, English 3, professional theory 4, rapid design

Professional theory: mainly take the following books: urban planning principles, Chinese and foreign urban construction history, Chinese and foreign architectural history, urban road traffic planning, but different schools are different, you have to prescribe the right medicine.

Rapid design: urban design of urban centers, residential quarters, parks, historical blocks, waterfront areas, etc.

I hope my answer is helpful to you!
