Good cities and good development are the most attractive to people and universities. This article comes from the WeChat public account: There is a university (ID: youjian-university) , author : Rick, editor: Qiuku, head picture from: Visual China
After nearly four years, the Wuhan campus of Wuhan University has no more details.
Sometimes ago, some netizens inquired on the leadership message board of Renmin.com, “It is said that Wuhan University Shenzhen Campus was cancelled. Is it true? Why did Wuhan University cancel the campus in Shenzhen?”
The official reply stated that due to the tightening of the Ministry of Education on remote schools in recent years, the project had to end.
But in reality, universities and new cities are still holding hands frequently, especially for the old universities affected by the region. If they fail to seize a place in the first-tier cities in time, the anxiety of finding a way out may become more and more serious. Too.
First, running a school in another place is a good business
Running schools in different places, as the name suggests, one side is the ground and the other side is the school. When the two sides agree on the exchange of resources, the business is finalized.
In the 1980s, Shandong University and Harbin Institute of Technology were the first universities to look outward from their homes and settled. They came to Weihai from Jinan and Harbin.
At that time, some coastal cities in China rose under the wave of reform and opening up, and Weihai was one of them. The arrival of colleges and universities is just an assist in accelerating their development. Moreover, the oncoming leaders are the leaders of colleges and universities. Be happy instead.
By the end of the 1990s, colleges and universities ushered in a wave of enrollment expansion. At this time, the need to expand the scale of universities and the need to continue to accelerate the development of emerging cities contributed to a wave of off-site schooling. The Suzhou Graduate School of the University was born during this period.
In most cases, universities and new cities come together. The latter is a relatively more active one. After all, the former can bring benefits to the naked eye: If the history and culture are not long enough, with universities, Even the development of the university city, the cultural image of the entire city can naturally follow the grade.
Retaining the university also means that there are more opportunities to retain the talents cultivated by the school. This pre-emptive operation is more effective than sending accounts and subsidies to the younger generation and asking young people to look at themselves more Live initiative.
The city is keen to invite your school to visit, there is a more realistic reason, new local universities need a lot of time, money costs, and famous schools are unlikely to be completed within three to five years.
Under such circumstances, a business-minded city certainly understands a different approach.
Shenzhen, for example, sent invitations to famous universities such as Peking University, Tsinghua University, Harbin Institute of Technology, and Nankai around 2000, and sincerely hopes that all kinds of big brothers can come to the south. If it was n’t active 20 years ago, it probably would n’t have the enviable grandeur of higher education in 985 universities.

The new campuses brought by the remote schools also suffered from suspicions of “unorthodox” at the beginning of the establishment, such as “the teachers in the branch campus are not as good as the headquarters”, “the admission score of the branch is a bug” ……
But time has proved that the question has gradually become attractive, and more and more people have begun to vote with their feet and flock to the branch campuses of these famous schools.
Second, Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen) , maybe catch up with the best ‘S trip
Hanong University (Shenzhen) is an excellent representative among the branch teams that are getting better year by year.
In 2001, the Shenzhen government and Harbin Institute of Technology jointly established the Shenzhen Graduate School of Harbin Institute of Technology. 15 years later, the Shenzhen campus relied on the headquarters of Harbin Institute of Technology to recruit the first batch of 376 undergraduates. In 2017, the Ministry of Education approved Harbin Institute of Technology Shenzhen to recruit undergraduates with an independent admission code.
From the beginning of recruiting undergraduates until last year, Harbin Institute of Technology ’s (Shenzhen) ranked first in Guangdong province ’s colleges, surpassing Guangdong The famous universities Zhongshan University and South China University of Technology.
Not only became a popular player in the new city, but from the point of view of admission scores, this campus also began to overwhelm the headquarters on a large scale. In 2018, Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen) recruited students from 12 provinces and regions across the country, and 11 of them had higher admission points than Harbin Headquarters.
In the same year, taking the computer major as an example, the average admission score of Harbin Institute of Technology Shenzhen campus in Guangdong Province was 636 points, and the average score of the headquarters was 617 points, which is nearly 20 points away from the former. Among the three campuses in one school, the Weihai campus is at the bottom. The highest score of this major in Guangdong is only 596 points.
Obviously, the difference in location has caused such differential treatment, which is not only the embarrassment of the Harbin Institute of Technology.
Throughout the country, especially in remote areas, you will find that some universities, even senior 985, have to bow their heads to geographical disadvantages and allow more and more students with higher scores to flow elsewhere.
A comparative data from the daily economic news pointed out that Taking the last batch of undergraduate science and engineering shift lines in Hebei Province as an example, Lanzhou University in the northwest region had the lowestThe shift line is 615 points, lower than the 617 points of Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, which is similar to the 614 points of Shanghai University of International Business and Economics, both of which are double non-universities. The downturn in admission scores of Lanta University is not limited to one province in Hebei.
Similarly, Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University, not far from the University of Lanzhou, Jilin University and Northeastern University in the Northeast, and other partners have also joined the caring and mutual love group of sad and famous schools.
After all, for the students who are struggling to take the college entrance examination and look forward to the great achievements in the next four years, they choose not only the school, but also the geographical location, local economy and employment opportunities contained in the university.
The unsatisfactory factors behind these factors are also the source of pain for the former C9 League leader Harbin Institute of Technology, which has been sung and the old schools have been left out.
Some people think that the Harbin Institute of Technology Shenzhen campus has developed so rapidly, as if it has overshadowed the headquarters. If this continues, the branch campus that occupies an excellent geographical advantage will not empty the headquarters ’resources.
Harbin Institute of Technology stated that instead of speculating on this game with the so-called Gongdou perspective, why not come to affirm the desire to set up campuses in developed cities to feed back the school and make the whole cake bigger?
Furthermore, the score line cannot be used as a standard for measuring the quality of a university. It is unreasonable to simply use the popularity index to compare a new campus that has only developed for four or five years with a century-old headquarters.
The Harbin Institute of Technology, which once stood with Qingbei ’s resumption of diplomatic relations, is now being distanced by this group of partners, but its progress in recent years should also be seen. The QS2020 World University Ranking Harbin Institute of Technology entered the top ten in mainland China, and the world ranking was higher than last year. Advance 8 places; in the natural index ranking of subject areas, Harbin Institute of Technology rose 61 places in 2018, making it the most advanced among the top 200 universities in the world.
Being able to achieve these results, of course, is inseparable from the bold attempts of one school and three districts, and the initiative to find more ways.
Compared with other universities in the same echelon that are declining overall due to geographical disadvantages, but still not moving, it chooses to seek internal breakthroughs and self-breakthroughs. Can such well-established famous schools not be fragrant?
Three, famous schools all go north to Guangzhou, Shenzhen, is this really okay
The birth of a successful case has brought great encouragement to other players in the urban and university circles.
In addition to Shenzhen, QingCities such as Dao, Suzhou, Zhuhai and other economically developed non-provincial capitals and lacking colleges and universities also began to eagerly try to join hands with academics.
For example, as of the end of 2018, Qingdao has signed a contract to introduce 32 universities, including the Qingdao campus of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Tongji University, Fudan University, Peking University, etc., half of which have been put into operation, and the other half are advancing.
In March last year, Suzhou and Nanjing University signed a construction agreement for the Nanjing University Suzhou campus. In 2021, most of the southern campus will be relocated to Suzhou. At that time, the Northwestern Polytechnical University Taicang campus will be completed and put into operation.
In fact, the Ministry of Education once released a tightening attitude towards colleges and universities in 2016. In 2018, the “Notice on Doing a Good Job in the Establishment of Higher Education Institutions in 2018” issued by the General Office of the Ministry of Education also clearly stipulates that there must be no problem of running schools across prefectures when applying for setting up undergraduate schools.
Last year, a letter from the “Proposal on Strengthening the Top-level Design of the National University Layout” stated that the problem of running schools in different places in the expansion of universities and colleges can arrange for cooperation and transformation of remote scientific research within the scope of autonomy, as well as extended graduate students The construction of school-running sites; however, it does not approve or encourage school-running behaviors such as remote campuses and branch campuses.
But in reality, the operation of setting up new undergraduate campuses and branch campuses is still in progress. After all, whether it is a city or a university, you can taste the sweetness from it.
Eat old famous schools with geographical losses, hoping to enter the first-tier cities, copy Harbin Institute of Technology （深 zhen) success template; cities lacking prestigious schools and lack of money are also thirsty for universities with strong basic strength.
When such a remote school model becomes a trend, or a neat but single direction, new damage will follow.
Because of the shortage of teaching resources in the original campus, it is appropriate to expand outwards. Of course, there is nothing wrong with it, but if you blindly seek for the big, it will only cause waste of resources. Running schools in different places, especially cross-provincial schools, will also bring inconvenience to teachers and students in transportation and teaching arrangements, resulting in difficult to guarantee the quality of teaching.
In 2014, Lanta went to Nantong, Jiangsu to set up a teaching base, and began accepting graduate students in the following year. The trip to the south did show the determination of the veteran 985 to try to reform, but the bug of this operation is a bit difficult to conceal.
