I. Comprehensive ranking
Shanghai International Studies University ranks lower in the comprehensive ranking of universities in China, but its admission scores remain in the top 20 all the year round. In the ranking of national foreign studies universities, it ranks second, and the first place is Beijing Foreign Studies University.
Beijing Foreign Studies University and Shanghai International Studies University have always been the two best foreign language colleges in China, regardless of the faculty, school location, scale, level and history.
The evaluation of a foreign language college should not be based on comprehensive ranking. Because the comprehensive ranking of national universities should refer to the number of majors offered by the school, the number of doctoral and master's programs, the number of students in school, the number and composition of teachers, the teacher-student ratio, the history of disciplines, and the projects involved. Therefore, in the comprehensive ranking, foreign language colleges have no advantage, because the general foreign language colleges are not large in scale and have incomplete professional settings, unlike comprehensive colleges of engineering, science and engineering and medicine, which can undertake various national and upgraded project research and development.
Second, the historical background
Shanghai International Studies University, the same age as New China, is the first foreign language college established after the founding of New China and one of the birthplaces of foreign language education in New China. There are a group of real masters who have taught in Shanghai and abroad. Li, a famous diplomat and master of western learning, Jiang Chunfang, a famous translator and the first editor-in-chief of Encyclopedia of China, all taught in Shanghai.
Third, the core advantages.
The core advantage of Shanghai International Studies University is the teaching level of advanced translation and simultaneous interpretation.
Shanghai International Studies University, as a 2 1 1 institution, is the only institution in China with two first-class disciplines (foreign languages and literature, political science) doctoral degree authorization points and postdoctoral research mobile stations. The school has formed a discipline pattern that is good at language and literature in an all-round way, and five categories, such as literature, education, economy, management and law, have developed in harmony. Diversified and distinctive, * * * owns 19 teaching colleges (departments), and three are directly under the teaching department.
Fourth, life and diet
Shanghai University is now in Songjiang University Town, and Line 9 leads to the urban area, one-way for one and a half hours. Life in Songjiang is relatively convenient if you don't go to town. There is a street at the entrance of Wen Hui Road, and there are some shopping malls around it, which are generally for eating and playing. There is only one canteen in the school. To tell the truth, there are few favorable comments in the school cafeteria.
