First, universities named after cities.

1. Every economically strong city is eager to have a university named after the city.

165438+1October 20th, announced by the Development Planning Department of the Ministry of Education, according to the Higher Education Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the Provisional Regulations on the Establishment of Ordinary Colleges and Universities and the Interim Provisions on the Establishment of Ordinary Undergraduate Colleges and Universities.

The relevant regulations and the investigation and evaluation results of the Eighth National College Setup Evaluation Committee, after deliberation by the party group meeting of the Ministry of Education, intend to agree to the setup of five schools including Anhui Public Security College. Among them, Hefei College intends to be renamed Hefei College.

2. Hefei will soon have a university directly named after the city, becoming the 12 provincial capital city in China.

At this exciting moment, we should not only look back at the past, but also look forward to the future and imagine what surprises "Hefei University" will bring.

Second, promote the renaming of "Hefei College" as "Hefei University"

1. This is not only a natural move for the school to build for many years, but also a proper move for the development of this city. At present, there are 20 undergraduate colleges in Chinese mainland named after provincial capitals. Strictly speaking, there are only 12 provincial universities, and Hefei College is the latest one (the rest, such as Changsha College, are still named after the college).

In their respective cities and even provinces, most of these universities are outstanding. Among them, there are "985" universities represented by Nanjing University, Wuhan University and Lanzhou University, as well as new "double-class" universities represented by Zhengzhou University, Fuzhou University and Nanchang University.

How can it be called a "university"

1. According to the regulations of the Ministry of Education, the scale of running a school is called a "university", and the number of full-time students is required to be more than 8,000, and the number of graduate students is not less than 5% of the total number of full-time students. Generally, there are at least 10 master programs, and the number of graduate students is more than 5.

2. In 2002, with the consent of the Ministry of Education, Hefei United University, Hefei Education College and Hefei Teachers College merged and renamed as "Hefei College". After the merger, Hefei University has also made a series of progress and achievements.

In 2004, Hefei University was approved as a "bachelor degree awarding unit". In 2009, the school was listed as a provincial "master project construction unit" by the Anhui Provincial Department of Education. In 20 18, the school entered the first batch of enrollment in Anhui province as a whole, and was officially approved as a "master awarding unit".

With the rapid development of Hefei in recent years, a "provincial capital university" is needed to further enhance Hefei's city popularity, attract talents and build scientific infrastructure.
