This has attracted widespread attention from the higher education community and even all sectors of society. Who is Southern University of Science and Technology? Is it really that awesome?
"Four non-university"South University of Science and Technology
First explain to you what is "Four non-university" university.
The so-called "four non-" universities refer to "non-985 universities", "non-211 universities", "non-first-class disciplines" and "non-first-class universities". Translated, it means a newly established university, without the time and the opportunity to enjoy the various resource allocations within the system.
Southern University of Science and Technology is a typical "four non-university".
In September 2008, 62-year-old Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Zhu Qingshi stole the position of seventh president of the University of Science and Technology of China.
In March 2007, although the economy was developing rapidly, Shenzhen, which lacked supporting resources for higher education, decided to build an innovative university with the goal of quickly building an international high-level research university. He also strongly invited Academician Zhu Qingshi, who was about to retire, to be one of the initiators of Southern University of Science and Technology.
This is later Southern University of Science and Technology.
In December 2010, the Ministry of Education agreed to prepare for the establishment of Southern University of Science and Technology. In February 2011, the first 45 students from the Education Reform Experimental Class of Southern University of Science and Technology entered the school, and the Southern University of Science and Technology was truly established.
The discipline settings of Southern University of Science and Technology are mainly based on science, engineering and medicine. has built an international and high-level faculty team. Among them, about 60% of the national talent program were selected, and nearly one-third of the teachers overseas and foreign countries accounted for. 45 academicians were introduced and cultivated, including 23 full-time academicians. Internationalization and high-quality have become prominent features of the school's faculty.
Nanjing University of Science and Technology has built a relatively cutting-edge discipline level with basic disciplines as the main focus. It is a "small but exquisite" research-based science and technology university.
School of Science, Southern University of Science and Technology
School of Engineering, Southern University of Science and Technology
It is understood that in 2019, teachers in school published a total of 2,608 papers on different majors, and there were 2,119 articles on SCI. That year, 415 vertical science and technology projects were obtained, with a total fund of up to 1.27 billion yuan. In 2020, Southern University of Science and Technology published a total of 6 papers in Science and Nature, ranking 9th among domestic universities and , which shows its strength.
Southern University of Science and Technology has many innovative practices to lead the trend of the times.
For example, if freshmen are admitted, the independent admission model adopts the 631 comprehensive evaluation: means that the college entrance examination score accounts for 60%, the school organizes ability tests account for 30%, and the high school academic score accounts for 10%. In this way, you can have great autonomy among the group of candidates you choose.
For example, teaching adopts general education to cultivate innovative talents. undergraduates will not be divided into majors after admission, and can choose their own majors according to their own characteristics. Implement the three-system and three-in-one model, as well as the academy system, credit system, , tutor system and internationalization, personalization and refined education. is of great help to students' free growth, display their strengths and nature.
For example, learn from the discipline setting model of world-class science and technology universities. focuses on science, engineering and medicine, and develops emerging disciplines and interdisciplinary disciplines such as new energy, new materials, biotechnology, energy conservation and environmental protection, etc. . In this way, in terms of discipline development, there will be obvious latecomer advantages from the beginning, which will help to give full play to the advantages of emerging colleges and universities.
The big data on 2020 graduates of Southern University of Science and Technology has been released. As of June 28, among the 933 undergraduate graduates of South China University of Science and Technology, about 93% of graduates have received employment offers. Among them, more than 60% of graduates choose to go to further their studies, and about 30% choose to find employment. The first choice for employed students to stay in Shenzhen.
3 President of South China University of Science and Technology Xue Qikun revealed that according to the development plan, South China University of Science and Technology will achieve the goal of building a "world-class research university rooted in China" in three stages:
By 2025, the characteristic disciplines will reach the advanced level, build an international high-level research university, and strive to enter the ranks of national first-class universities;
By 2035, the innovative university that matches innovative countries and pilot demonstration zones, and strive to become the first echelon of Chinese universities;
By 2049, it will become a world-class research university rooted in China and has important global influence.
June 8, 2016 UNESCO Higher Education Innovation Center was unveiled at Southern University of Science and Technology. This is the only second-class center established by UNESCO in the Asia-Pacific region focusing on higher education. Li Ming, who was once the Party Secretary of the Southern University of Science and Technology, serves as the director of the center.
Another school that is very similar to Southern University of Science and Technology is Shanghai University of Science and Technology, which is jointly organized and built by Shanghai Municipal People's Government and Chinese Academy of Sciences . It is related to University of Science and Technology and University of Chinese Academy of Sciences .
Shanghai University of Science and Technology was officially established on September 30, 2013 with the approval of the Ministry of Education. The school is committed to serving the national economic and social development strategy, cultivating scientific and technological innovation and entrepreneurship talents, providing scientific and technological solutions and giving full play to the role of a think tank, actively participating in the reform of higher education, participating in the construction of Shanghai Science and Technology Innovation Center, and striving to build a small-scale, high-level, international research-oriented and innovative university.
There is also a West Lake University , Shi Yigong , Chen Shiyi , Pan Jianwei , Rao Yi , Qian Yingyi , Zhang Hui, Wang Jian and other seven people proposed to establish West Lake University . Positioned as a new non-profit university organized by social forces and supported by the state. Drawing on the scale of Caltech's and Stanford University's school management philosophy, adhering to the school management positioning of "high starting point, small but refined, research-oriented", focusing on science, life and health, cutting-edge technology and other directions to establish first-level disciplines; leading the establishment of relevant departments, first completing the enrollment of doctoral students in the name of the research institute, focusing on science and engineering, and then targeting undergraduate students.
In April 2018, West Lake University was officially approved by the Ministry of Education, with Shi Yigong as the president of West Lake University.
The second "Hong Kong University of Science and Technology"?
In the 1980s, Hong Kong, a port city that started with re-export trade, faced huge pressure on economic transformation. At that time, the Hong Kong government planned to transform through technology and decided to build a third university, which was later Hong Kong University of Science and Technology .
In 1991, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology was officially established. developed very rapidly in just 20 years. In the 2011 QS Asian University Ranking, it once surpassed , Hong Kong University of , ranking first in Asia.
Since its establishment, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has given up its large-scale and comprehensive development goal. Instead, based on its own development characteristics and regional characteristics, it has set up small and exquisite famous schools, and so far there are less than 10,000 students.
What is commendable is that the University of Science and Technology emphasizes the regionality and phase of positioning:
"A good university is in a region, which means a fish is in a water tank, and it will be killed if it is taken out.A university must be clear about the development of the school in the country, region and different stages, such as what type it belongs to, what is the difference between it and other schools, etc., and these are all taken into account before they can be clearly positioned.”
Hong Kong University of Science and Technology also adopts the highly internationalized strategy of and is positioned as a research university.
Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has an excellent international teaching and research team that is renowned internationally. Professors, associate professors, and assistant professors There are about 450 professors from 35 countries around the world. All professors at all levels have doctoral degrees, of which 75% have obtained doctoral degrees from 62 first-class research institutions in North America.
Since its establishment, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has been pursuing three concepts:
As a world-class institution, it strives to be at the forefront of the international frontier in every selected teaching and research field;
h As one of the best universities in China, tml3 requires contribution to the country's social and economic development;
is the main university in Hong Kong, and cooperates with the government and business circles to strive to develop Hong Kong into a knowledge-based society.
Under the guidance of this correct concept, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has moved step by step towards success.
So, can the Southern University of Science and Technology copy the glory of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and "catch the Qing Dynasty and surpass the North"?
