South University of Science and Technology Introduction
South University of Science and Technology , referred to as South University of Science and Technology, is a national pilot institution for comprehensive reform of higher education. In 2007, the "Government Work Report" of the Third Session of the Fourth People's Congress of Shenzhen, the decision was made to establish Southern University of Science and Technology, and in 2010, it was accepted as the launching campus of the former Shenzhen School of Financial Engineering of Nankai University.
South China University of Science and Technology officially started in 2011, and the first batch of 45 students entered the school to start studying. In 2012, the Ministry of Education approved that South China University of Science and Technology would enroll students in accordance with the "6+3+1" comprehensive evaluation model. That year, a total of 188 freshmen were admitted from 8 provinces across the country, with an average score of 70 points above the first-tier score.
In 2015, the former president of Peking University Chen Shiyi served as the second president of South University of Science and Technology. The Graduate School was established in April; the first graduation ceremony of 2016 was held, and in the same year, a cooperation agreement was signed with Johns Hopkins University to jointly prepare for Southern University of Science and Technology School of Medicine.
In 2017, we held a cooperation signing ceremony with the Nanshan District People's Government to jointly build Xili People's Hospital (renamed Southern University of Science and Technology Hospital in 2018) and start building its own affiliated hospital. In 2018, it was approved as a doctoral degree awarding institution and became the fastest university in China to obtain a doctoral authorization. In the same year, we also signed an agreement with Hong Kong University of Science and Technology to jointly build "Shenzhen-Hong Kong Microelectronics College ".
In 2018, the first and second affiliated hospitals of South University of Science and Technology were unveiled in Shenzhen People's Hospital and Shenzhen Third People's Hospital ; in 2019, the school was approved for the first time to postdoctoral research mobile station . In the same year, it also cooperated with Shenzhen Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Cancer Hospital to jointly build the "Southern University of Science and Technology Clinical Teaching Hospital".
In 2020, South University of Science and Technology took the lead in the construction of the Shenzhen Applied Mathematics Center, which is the first national scientific research platform of South University of Science and Technology.
All the way, in just ten years, South China University of Science and Technology has achieved impressive results and progress. In the latest QS global university rankings, South China University of Science and Technology ranks between 300-350, ranking among the top universities in the country.
Recently, the Ministry of Education announced the filing and approval results of undergraduate majors in general higher education institutions in 2020. The four majors of industrial design, data science and big data technology, marine engineering and technology, and intelligent medical engineering applied for by South China University of Science and Technology were approved by the Ministry of Education for preparation.
South University of Science and Technology major setting
The advantages of nantech University
South University of Science and Technology adopts the general education model . After admission, there is no major in the first academic year. Students are encouraged to study across different subjects. gradually understand their interests, specialties and development directions before making a major choice. If it is not suitable, you can choose a major again.
South University of Science and Technology implements a dual tutor system: a life tutor and a professional tutor can answer questions at any time. In addition to providing guidance to students in their studies, the tutor will also lead students out to climb mountains, eat, and play from time to time. In traditional universities, teachers leave the teacher after class, and it is difficult to communicate with the teacher after a semester. The counselor is only responsible for daily study and life management. He cannot give students too much help and guidance in early academic studies.
The future development space is huge: Greater Bay Area is a frontier region of national strategy. College students who learn and grow in this soil will be subtly inspired, and their horizons, vision, ideas, etc. will be significantly improved. Eighty percent of graduates from South China University of Science and Technology are in Guangdong, and 90 percent of them are in Shenzhen.
South University of Science and Technology has a strong faculty. The three principals are from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Peking University, and Tsinghua . In recent years, the school has recruited a large number of academic talents at home and abroad, such as Hong Kong Academy of Sciences, Academician Fang Fuquan, who is currently the chair professor of the School of Mathematics of South University of Science and Technology, and foreign countries such as Turing Award winner, Joseph Sfakis, a professor in the Department of Computer and Engineering, etc. The school has signed contracts to introduce more than 1,000 teachers and 23 full-time academicians (this number is excellent compared to 985, no problem).
South University of Science and Technology has gradually become one of the top universities in the country in the construction of some advantageous disciplines. Moreover, at South China University of Science and Technology, everything is student-centered. It represents the direction of China's future university and is what a university should be.
The shortcomings of South China University of Science and Technology
South China University of Science and Technology is a young university, slightly inferior to the traditional 985 in terms of social influence, and the overall discipline construction also needs to be improved. Let’s look at the 985 universities at the bottom (taking Northwest A&F University as an example). Northwest A&F University has 14 postdoctoral mobile stations, 16 first-level disciplines with doctoral degree authorization, 27 first-level disciplines with master’s degree authorization, 1 professional doctoral degree authorization category, and 12 professional master’s degree authorization categories. Southern University of Science and Technology has 4 postdoctoral research mobile stations, 4 first-level discipline doctoral programs, and 6 first-level discipline master programs.
The discipline construction of Southern University of Science and Technology is not comprehensive enough. This is mainly based on the school positioning of Southern University of Science and Technology , focusing on basic disciplines and applied science and technology as the main development direction, so other disciplines are slow to intervene. . Social influence has been affected by the short establishment time and has not yet cultivated multi-level scientific researchers and students, and the influence of alumni needs to be strengthened.
But on the other hand, universities that have achieved such achievements just 10 years ago are rare at home and even internationally.
Shanghai University of Science and Technology Introduction
Shanghai University of Science and Technology is jointly organized by the Shanghai Municipal Government and Hong Kong Academy of Sciences. It is a national comprehensive education reform pilot university. The school is located in the middle district of Zhangjiang High-tech Park, Pudong New District, Shanghai. It is mainly science and engineering and is an integral part of Zhangjiang Comprehensive National Science Center .
It has been 17 years since the establishment of the Shanghai University of Science and Technology.
In 2004, Shanghai Municipal People's Government and the Chinese Academy of Sciences began to build a new research university in Pudong , where the origin of Shanghai University of Science and Technology originated. In 2006, Shanghai agreed to jointly build the Shanghai Pudong Science and Technology Park of the Chinese Academy of Sciences with the Shanghai Branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (including a comprehensive scientific research institution and a university). In the same year, Shanghai allocated 1,500 acres of land for the construction of the science and technology park. Construction of Shanghai Pudong Science and Technology Park of the Chinese Academy of Sciences started in 2008.
On December 26, 2010, Shanghai Institute of Advanced Studies, Chinese Academy of Sciences, officially settled in Shanghai Pudong Science and Technology Park, Chinese Academy of Sciences. In 2012, the school’s preparatory group was established, tentatively named Pudong University of Science and Technology, and was later renamed Shanghai University of Advanced Research, and later officially named Shanghai University of Science and Technology. At the end of 2012, the construction of the Shanghai University of Science and Technology campus was officially launched, and the school preparations entered a substantive stage.
In 2013, Shanghai University of Science and Technology welcomed the first batch of graduate students. At the end of the same year, Shanghai University of Science and Technology submitted an undergraduate enrollment plan to the Ministry of Education and approved it. In September 2014, the first batch of 207 undergraduate students from the University of Science and Technology officially entered the school.
In June 2018, the school welcomed its first undergraduate graduates. Among the 184 undergraduate graduates, about 37% choose to go abroad to study for graduate students, and about 36% choose to study for graduate students in domestic universities such as Shanghai University of Science and Technology, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Tsinghua University , Shanghai Jiaotong University , Fudan University , Zhejiang University and other Zhejiang University .
So far, Shanghai University of Science and Technology has five colleges, including the School of Material Science and Technology, the School of Life Science and Technology, the School of Information Science and Technology, the School of Entrepreneurship and Management, the School of Creativity and Arts, as well as the School of Humanities, which implements a university system and does not have departments under the college. There are also three research institutes including the Institute of Immunochemistry, iHuman Research Institute, and Mathematical Science Institute.
In 2021, Shanghai University of Science and Technology recruited students in 18 provinces and cities, including physics, chemistry, materials science and engineering, biological science , biomedical engineering , electronic information engineering , computer science and technology, mathematics and applied mathematics, and management science, with a total of 430 students enrolled.
Advantages of the University of Science and Technology of China
Background of the Chinese Academy of Sciences: Among domestic universities, there are only three universities with background in the Chinese Academy of Sciences: University of Science and Technology of China ,University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Shanghai University of Science and Technology,
Small scale: The enrollment scale of the University of Science and Technology of China is small, with only more than 400 undergraduate students enrolling each year, and the school’s faculty ratio is very high. Small-class education is more conducive to students interacting with teachers and learning project experience. Like South China University of Science and Technology, students who go to University of Science and Technology have the opportunity to enter the laboratory and publish papers at the undergraduate stage.
specializes in certain fields: Shanghai University of Science and Technology has the top teachers and scientific research equipment in front-end fields such as materials science ( perovskite solar cell field, smart wearable dynamic fabric field), life science ( gene editing field), and many related scientific research projects of Shanghai University of Science and Technology are also at the forefront of domestic research level.
High quality of admission at home and abroad: Postgraduate entrance examinations in foreign universities are mainly world-renowned universities with top 50. Most of the schools in China are studying for graduate school. In addition to this school, they mainly go to Tsinghua Peking University , Huawu, our school or the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The insufficient number of students in the University of Science and Technology
The enrollment and campus scale are too small, and the school covers less than 1,000 acres. The size of the school restricts the number of students in the school and also limits the expansion and development of various disciplines in the University of Science and Technology and the deep intersection.
Like South China University of Science and Technology, the quality of undergraduate training still needs to be examined by the society, there are insufficient outstanding alumni, and social influence needs to be improved.
At the level of college selection, many parents and exams have pain points: If both schools can be admitted, which one should I choose? Under the premise of the same score, is it better to choose to go to the University of Science and Technology of South China University of Science and Technology, or to choose a traditional 985 university?
does not matter if the college entrance examination scores are released. As long as the basic conditions are met, both the University of Science and Technology and the University of Science and Technology can apply in advance. In the end, you have to make a choice based on the college entrance examination scores. If the score is not enough, others will not choose you. If you have enough scores to Tsinghua and Peking University, there is a high probability that you will not choose to go to University of Science and Technology and the University of Science and Technology. The prerequisite for selection is the score.
First of all, we need to correct a misunderstanding: it doesn’t matter whether it’s good to apply for a volunteer or choose a school. Schools with the same scores have their own advantages and specialties. Schools A, B, and C have a good geographical location and are in a first-tier city; School B, you have a higher ranking in the major you want to study in School B; School C is between the two.
Our commonly used choice ideas are: Comparing the comprehensive ranking of the two schools, the strength of a certain subject, the employment quality of graduates, geographical location, industry recognition, school faculty, hardware, management, etc. However, under the same circumstances, it is difficult for a certain school to take all the above advantages. The three ABC schools always have their own advantages and always have some things that are inferior to each other. Therefore, we should start from our own needs and choose based on the positioning and characteristics of the school.
In short: What do you want to look at school? Picture her geographical location? Comprehensive ranking? Word of mouth? A certain advantageous major? Or accommodation and food?
is limited in space, so I won’t explain it here. The following uses data to analyze the comparison between Shangke, Nanke and ordinary 985 colleges and universities in detail based on the school size, faculty, scientific research ability, and graduate employment quality, and how to apply for parents and classmates.
Let’s first look at the admission scores of the two schools in Henan in previous years.
Admission scores for the University of Science and Technology and South China University of Science and Technology
It is not difficult to see from the above table that the average admission rankings for science in the two schools in Henan are around 5,000-7,000, and some particularly outstanding students also occupies the top 1,000 in science.
It can be said that the scores of science students who are admitted to the South China University of Science and Technology and the Shanghai University of Science and Technology are between 1,000 and 9,000 in the province, and most of them are mainly concentrated between 5,000 and 7,000.
Next, we find this position, and the school is positioned as a "science and engineering research type" university to compare:
You can choose colleges and universities
The first 1000 students who go to South China University of Science and Technology or go to South China University of Science and Technology are definitely true love, but this part is a minority after all. We focus on comparing South China University of Science and Technology with the two schools and other 985 universities.
We select Beijing University of Technology , Tongji University , Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications , South China University of Technology , Chongqing University , and Dalian University of Technology to compare one by one:
Scale and faculty
0Comparing academicians, master-doctoral points, postdoctoral research stations and faculty ratios in various schools, it can be seen that Traditional 985 universities, especially 985 universities in first-tier cities such as Beijing Institute of Technology, Tongji, and South China Institute of Technology, have a significant number advantage. These universities have accumulated advantages over the years of school management. South University of Science and Technology and Shanghai University of Science and Technology are difficult to surpass them in terms of the number of departments and discipline groups in a short period of time.
Top talents, the number of academicians introduced by South China University of Science and Technology and Shanghai University of Science and Technology has increased rapidly, far exceeding some 985 universities in the above table. Academicians have a great role in promoting the scientific research platform of high-quality talents and scientific research projects of high-quality universities. Many experts and scholars in the fields of engineering and science are closely related to academicians in the same field. In terms of teacher allocation, the ratio of undergraduate students from South China University of Science and Technology and Shanghai University of Science and Technology has the highest proportion of undergraduate students, and students enjoy high teaching benefits. Compared with traditional 985 universities, students in the South and the students in the South have more time and opportunities to communicate with teachers about their study and studies.
Scientific research opportunities
National Natural Foundation: National Natural Science Foundation As one of the main channels for my country to support basic research, it is facing the whole country, focusing on funding researchers in universities and scientific research institutions with good research conditions and research strength. The application for the National Natural Science Foundation of China project represents the breadth and depth of a school. The more projects you apply for, it means that the more single and interdisciplinary disciplines the school has, the stronger the scientific research ability; the higher the funding rate, it means that the strength and depth of the subjects applied for by the school.
In terms of the number of applications, traditional 985 such as Tongji, Dalian Science and Technology, South China Science and Technology and Chongqing University have a large number of disciplines and a wide range of subjects, so the total number is mostly large. However, South China University of Science and Technology and Shanghai University of Science and Technology have gained a leading position in funding rate, which shows that the two schools have more advantages in discipline construction and the proportion of high-quality scientific research projects is high.
Youth Science Foundation Project: Youth Science Foundation Project Support young scientific and technical personnel to independently select topics within the scope of the National Natural Science Foundation of China funding, carry out basic research work, and cultivate young scientific and technical personnel’s ability to independently preside over scientific research projects and conduct innovative research. The applicant shall not exceed 35 males and the females shall not exceed 40 years old.
Youth Fund Project represents the vitality and future of a college. Young scientific and technological workers aged 30-40 are the core force in the future scientific and technological research of colleges and universities. The funding rate of represents the degree of support for young scientific and technological workers in the college. The higher the funding rate means the easier it is for young people to do scientific research in the school. From another aspect, it can also reflect the school's support for young scientific and technological workers.
Similarly, the summary above shows that traditional 985 still has a significant advantage in the number of applications. The three schools of Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing University of Technology, Beijing Post and Dalian Institute of Technology, which shows that Young scholars are more likely to carry out scientific research work in these three universities, South China University of Technology is relatively easy, Chongqing University and South China University of Technology are not much different, and the proportion of independent projects at the University of Science and Technology and Tongji University is relatively low.
It is not difficult to see from this that the capital and colleges with military background pay more attention to cultivating young scientific and technological scholars, such as Beijing Institute of Technology and Beihang University; the proportion of young scientific researchers in Shanghai universities applying for funding is relatively low, such as Shanghai University of Science and Technology and Tongji University, which may also be related to the wider source of scientific research funds for Shanghai universities.
In summary, From a scientific research perspective, although the number of disciplines in South China University of Science and Technology and Shanghai University of Science and Technology is relatively small, it has made great progress in its own discipline construction. The quality of some scientific research projects is no less than these traditional 985, and it even has a catching up attitude. However, since the two colleges are relatively young, most scientific research projects are undertaken by introduced talents, and the quantity and quality of youth science fund applications need to be improved. The talents trained by the school themselves cannot keep up with the school's development pace. The training of young talents (30-40 years old) at the University of Science and Technology and South China University of Science and Technology is still slightly inferior to traditional universities. With the rapid development of the two schools, this phenomenon will definitely improve in the future.
Above we compared the discipline construction, faculty, scientific research projects and the training of young talents between South China University of Science and Technology, Shanghai University of Science and Technology and traditional 985 universities. Let’s analyze the differences between them based on the quality of undergraduate training.
Comparing the quality of undergraduate training, we start with the quality of further studies. The quality of further studies includes domestic and foreign studies : How many undergraduate graduates have successfully entered the postgraduate stage, which level of schools have they visited, and what proportion have they gone to? Here we cannot only look at the "rate", but also the "quantity". The reason why the quality of admission to colleges and universities in 985 and 211 is that many students can continue to choose graduate students from their schools to study.
Admissions
Comparison of the admissions situation of 8 colleges and universities in the past two years. Whether it is South China University of Science and Technology, the University of Science and Technology or the traditional 985 colleges, the overall admission rate remains above 50% or even higher, while the differences between colleges and universities are also very obvious.
First of all, the domestic enrollment rate of Beijing Institute of Technology, Shanghai University of Science and Technology and Beijing Post are very high. Beijing Institute of Technology and Beijing Post occupy the local high-quality educational resources in Beijing. It goes without saying that Shanghai University of Science and Technology was a Shanghai graduate student of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the postgraduate training was relatively mature. Therefore, the demand for graduates of Shanghai University of Science and Technology to go abroad is not as high as that of South China University of Science and Technology.
The highest proportion of overseas enrollment was South China University of Science and Technology 40.05%, because the impact of the epidemic in 2020 decreased slightly, but the proportion was still very high. The highest proportion of traditional colleges and universities abroad was still Beijing Institute of Technology and Beijing Post, which shows that Beijing’s colleges and universities have a great advantage in enrollment resources.
The number of high-quality 985 colleges and universities in Guangdong is relatively small. Therefore, the proportion of admissions in China between South China University of Science and Technology and South China University of Science and Technology is relatively low. South China University of Science and Technology chooses to find direct employment, while South China University of Science and Technology chooses to go abroad.
The admission situation of Dalian University of Technology, Tongji University and Chongqing University is similar. The admission and employment are basically 50% open, accounting for half of each; the proportion of admission to overseas is relatively small.
Overall, in addition to the obvious advantages of going abroad to study at South China University of Science and Technology and the Shanghai University of Science and Technology, the Shanghai University of Science and Technology is comparable to other colleges and universities in terms of domestic study. South China University of Science and Technology is relatively weak in domestic study. has obvious choices for students who have no plans to go abroad.
From the perspective of the quality of admission to each school above, the main flow of admission to the traditional 985/211 is the school. The number of admission to the country in Beijing Science and Technology, Beijing Post and Tongji is concentrated in our school, accounting for about 80%. The other paths to further studies are mainly concentrated in universities with higher local levels, or top five colleges and universities in Tsinghua University and Peking University.
For example, the domestic school in Tongji, including the school of education in Tongji + re-joining and re-joining Zhejiang + Tsinghua and Peking University, reached more than 90%, and Beijing Institute of Technology + Tsinghua and Peking University + Beihang also accounts for about 90%. These colleges and universities are very regional, and graduates will obviously choose their own schools or universities of the same type with higher local levels.
Dalian University of Technology is also mainly concentrated in its own school, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and 985 universities in Beijing, such as Tsinghua University, Beijing Institute of Technology and Beihang University. There is no data at the moment. It is speculated that the admission to the university is mainly based on the headquarters and 985 universities in the southwest region.
South China Institute of Technology graduates mainly focus on their school, Zhongshan , Tsinghua University and two China-5 colleges and universities.
In terms of overseas studies, Tongji and Beijing Institute of Technology have the highest quality, with most students concentrated in Top 200 schools, and Beijing Post, Dalian Institute of Technology and South China Institute of Technology are slightly inferior.
1 and above colleges and universities are not difficult to find that in terms of domestic enrollment, , South University of Science and Technology is mainly concentrated in the two 985 schools in the school and Guangzhou area. has the highest proportion of overseas enrollment. Although the school's employment quality report does not provide detailed data from overseas universities, it is not difficult to judge based on the situation in previous years that the proportion of the top 100 colleges and universities is more than 80%, which is comparable to that of the Shanghai University of Science and Technology.
In terms of domestic further studies, in addition to our school, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Fudan , and Shangshang are also the first choice for graduates of Shanghai University of Science and Technology. Generally speaking, Shanghai University of Science and Technology is slightly better than South China University of Science and Technology in domestic further studies.
Comparison of the admission situation between South China University of Science and Technology, and their traditional 985 colleges and universities, it can be concluded that: The Administrative University of Science and Technology and the South China University of Science and Technology have obvious advantages in overseas admission, and are slightly behind other 985 colleges and universities in the same score. Compared with the Administrative University of Science and Technology and the Administrative University of Science and Technology, the Administrative University of Science and Technology has slightly obvious advantages in admission, and is highly targeted: the characteristics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (directly affiliated institutions) and localization (Fudan, Shangjiao).
South China University of Science and Technology has a large scale and has been rapidly forming its own discipline group, scientific research projects and institutions in recent years. Shenzhen is the front line of scientific research and innovation in my country. If South China University of Science and Technology wants to make up for the shortcomings in domestic studies, strengthening its own construction is the most fundamental way. Because most undergraduate graduates will choose to go to school at their own school, when they face the choice of South China University of Science and Technology or other 985, their strong alma mater can attract and retain outstanding talents.
South China University of Science and Technology and Shanghai University of Science and Technology both represent the direction of China's higher education reform. In the early stages of their establishment, they were targeted at candidates and parents as a high-end, new and scientific research-oriented college. I believe they will do better in the future. At the same time, traditional 985 has a good foundation and social reputation, and will still maintain a strong advantage in the selection of domestic education, state-owned enterprises, institutions, civil servants and government agencies.
Whether it is South China University of Science and Technology or the University of Science and Technology, traditional 985 has its own clear positioning and direction. As a candidate, making an accurate positioning for yourself is the foundation for applying for the school. Wherever you are positioned, your choice is where you choose.
If traditional 985 has immediate advantages, then Shanghai University of Science and Technology and South China University of Science and Technology represent the future of China's higher education.
