The relationship between the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen) and the Chinese University of Hong Kong is "one brand, two campuses". On 20 14, mainland college entrance examination students were enrolled. The school is located in Longgang District, Shenzhen. It is an international university that pays equal attention to both Chinese and English. In just five years, it has become one of the first-class universities in China with its unique concept of running a school. According to reports, there were only eight teaching buildings in the school at that time, and they were teaching while building. 20 17 September, a modern campus covering an area of 1 square kilometer was completed. The first batch of China, Hongkong and China, Shenzhen enrolled more than 280 students in China (the first session was limited to the School of Economics and Management). Later, this group of students was called "Huangpu Phase I" and "brothers and sisters forever" by Professor Xu Yangsheng, President of HKU.
After five years' development, there are currently 365,438+00 teachers and 3,500 undergraduates in Hong Kong, and the teacher-student ratio is about 65,438+065,438+0 to 65,438+0. There are four Nobel Prize winners, two Turing Prize winners, Fields Prize winners 1 and teachers 15. Professor Xu Yangsheng, the president of the school, was the vice-president of the Chinese University of Hong Kong and an academician of the China Academy of Sciences. He is a top expert in robotics and artificial intelligence in the world. As advertised by the school, teachers in Hongkong, China and Shenzhen are recruited from all over the world. Only after the selection and approval of the Academic Affairs Committee of the Chinese University of Hong Kong can they engage in teaching in Hong Kong, and all these teachers have 100% overseas doctoral degrees. Moreover, the textbooks used by Hong Kong undergraduates are different from those used by domestic universities, and the teaching language is all English, which is rare in mainland universities. He ensures that students have an international perspective from the moment they enter the university.
The relationship between the principal, dean, professor and students of this school is very harmonious. Some of them live in colleges (note: colleges are a unique accommodation system, which not only provides accommodation, but also provides students with various extracurricular guidance and support, which is completely different from other universities in the mainland). They eat together in the school cafeteria. As long as students are willing, they can "meet" the professor's cafe in the canteen at any time, or they can sit next to the professor with plates and chat with him. In particular, President Xu is very approachable. President Xu has more than 5,000 friends on WeChat, which is the first micro-signal in China, Hongkong and China. Most of his WeChat friends are students and parents. In normal school teaching, in order to help freshmen master English listening and speaking skills as soon as possible, principals, deans and professors will set up 15-20 "English Club" to help students practice English listening and speaking in their spare time for free. In addition, the school also has a special language lab, where four teachers from the United States are responsible for training students who have temporary difficulties in English listening and speaking, correcting words and grammar, and correcting English mistakes in students' homework, which is unique in China. Therefore, after about three months of intensive training, ordinary students can communicate and discuss in class in English completely skillfully.
Hong Kong Shenzhong adopts strict teaching methods. The GPA of children during their four years in college, also known as their usual grades, is directly linked to their scholarships, exchange students and future diplomas, so every student will always feel the pressure of GPA as soon as he enters Hong Kong to study in Shenzhen. Unlike most other universities in China, the four-year life in Shenzhen, Hong Kong is as stressful as that in senior three, and few students can sleep before 1 1 at night. The busiest time for commuter buses in Hong Kong and Shenzhen is in the afternoon 12 when students return to the college for rest from the library and classroom. GPA assessment in China, Hongkong and Shenzhen is also different from that in mainland universities. It is strictly linked to students' attendance, classroom participation, homework, mid-term and final exam results, not just the final results.
It is particularly worth mentioning that Hong Kong Shenzhong inherited the teaching philosophy and mode of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and paid special attention to general education, which lasted for four years. Teaching in Hong Kong is generally in small classes. Teachers will give students heuristic education and group discussion to encourage their critical thinking and ensure that their independent thinking is not interfered by authority and administration. The school also completes homework through group cooperation to cultivate students' cooperative spirit and team consciousness. This is what almost all universities in China can't do at present, and it is also the advantage of Hong Kong, China and Shenzhen ahead of other universities in China.
It is under this advanced teaching concept and mode that the first batch of undergraduate graduates from China, Hong Kong and Shenzhen can go to Europe, America and Hong Kong for further study after graduation in 20 18, and nearly 35% of them stay in large enterprises such as Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou for employment. Among them, most of the advanced students have obtained the postgraduate admission qualifications of the top 50 universities in QS world, and each person has obtained 3 offer. According to the parents of students in school, the employment situation of the second graduates of 19 is even more gratifying. Wuhan 15 Almost all the students who are pursuing further studies have received offer from famous universities, such as Yale, Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, London Economics and Political Science, new york University, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Michigan and Southern California.
