Some time ago, the fate of a Guangdong candidate touched everyone’s hearts. This student scored 632 points in this year’s test. When filling in his volunteers, he filled in the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu College, and netizens wondered if this student was I originally wanted to fill in the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, but I filled it in wrong.
Is it wrong or not? Since I did not respond to it, I cannot know the whole truth of the matter. This hot search has attracted everyone’s attention to a phenomenon-the names of some universities are so alike. Isn’t it really for the popularity of famous universities?
Actually, it’s not all.
At least the major branch schools in Shenzhen that the upper class is going to talk about today are all treasure schools with roots and roots. They are not extraordinary players, and they really can’t enter.
1. Shenzhen multi-branch school
If Shenzhen’s universities are just names, apart from Shenzhen University and Southern University of Science and Technology, how do other universities look like “not very formal”——
The Chinese University of Hong Kong(Shenzhen), Shenzhen Beili Moscow University, Sun Yat-sen University Shenzhen Campus, Harbin Institute of Technology(Shenzhen), Tsinghua University Shenzhen International Graduate School, Peking University Shenzhen Graduate School, Jinan University Shenzhen Institute of Tourism, Nankai University Shenzhen School of Financial Engineering, Tianjin University Georgia Institute of Technology Shenzhen…
emmm this familiar formula, familiar taste. It’s not a certain college or a bracket Shenzhen, is this style very similar to Wudaokou Vocational and Technical College and Zhongguancun Applied Arts and Science College? (error)
There are rumors that some students from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen) went for an interview after graduation. The result was mistaken by HR for Pheasant University because He has only heard of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. The authenticity of the rumors is untestable, but its spread actually reflects the problems faced by many universities in Shenzhen: the school’s reputation is indeed not very high.
The so-called people can’t look good, of course, schools can’t just look at their name and reputation. In fact, all of these schools in Shenzhen are Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Just like the self-deprecating classmates from Hong Kong and Shenzhen: Guangdong Province’s famous Shuangfei (non-985, non-211) “Pheasant Three Books” , short school time and tuition One hundred thousand yuan a year, it’s clearly to collect money

Sorry for a misunderstanding. Hong Kong and Shenzhen said: I pretended to be Longgang University. I don’t know what the other branch schools are like, but our family is really not that kind of branch school. Thank you for cooperating with the school. As for the admission score, it has exceeded 90+.
Here I will give you a general introduction to the scores of the Chinese University of Hong Kong(Shenzhen): Guangdong Province admission scores 630+, other provinces admission scores for science The average is about 100 points higher, and the liberal arts is about 80 points higher. (As of this writing, my typing hands are already shaking slightly.)
Let’s put it this way, the high-scoring classmates here are basically the level of Zhejiang who can return to the Qing Dynasty, and at least they are also the pride of the sky.
As everyone knows, Harbin Institute of Technology in the northeast of the coordinates is a famous university in science, but in fact, in addition to its headquarters, Harbin Institute of Technology also has a campus in Weihai and Shenzhen.
Although the score line of Harbin Institute of Technology Shenzhen campus will be slightly lower than that of the headquarters, in recent years, due to the attractive location and employment opportunities of the Shenzhen campus, the score line has been rising.
In 2017, Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen) had the lowest scores in science at the same level as Sun Yat-sen University, and in 2018 it was even higher than Sun Yat-sen University. (I have confirmed the scores, this is a school I can’t afford to attend.)
As for the Graduate School of Tsinghua University in Shenzhen and the Graduate School of Peking University in Shenzhen, it is also a serious Tsinghua and Peking University. They are co-constructed with the Shenzhen Municipal People’s Government. The quality of students is high and the teaching staff is also leveraged.
△Peking University Shenzhen Graduate School
For the Shenzhen Graduate School of Peking University, the biggest feature here is internationalization. All English teaching and bilingual teaching are commonplace. After all, peopleThere are a large number of foreign experts and returnees. Even ordinary young teachers have educational backgrounds from prestigious universities such as Harvard, MIT, and Stanford University.
It sounds a lot like the XX university + XX college model of “three books”. For example, the Shenzhen Institute of Tourism of Jinan University has only one college, which is far away from the headquarters in Guangzhou. It’s only a single one, but it is often mistaken for not one.

But it’s really not a three-year college, it’s the Shenzhen campus, Jinan University, a century-old school with a decent history.
Although the campus here is small, its strength is not weak. You must know that JIU Shenzhen Tourism was established in 1996. The Sun Yat-Sen University Tourism Institute and South China Institute of Technology Tourism were all set up in 2004. It can be said that JIU Shenzhen Tourism was the first to see the tourism industry trend in the Pearl River Delta. Of universities.
The tourism management undergraduate major here has also passed the qualification certification of the Tourism Education Committee of the World Tourism Organization. It is the first higher tourism college in the Mainland to pass this certification.
In addition, Shenzhen Travel is jointly invested and constructed by China Travel Service Group, Hong Kong China Travel Service Group, Fujian China Travel Service Group, Guangdong China Travel Service Group and Shenzhen Overseas Chinese Town Group and provides school funding.
What does this mean? That is to say, any student club activities can be sponsored, and competitions sponsored by various companies can participate in (winning) at any time, and the most precious Internship and employment opportunities.
II. What’s the experience of Shenzhen branch
Many college students who choose Shenzhen have actually made long-term considerations. Choosing these universities in Shenzhen means choosing this city. The biggest feature of Shenzhen, needless to say, is that its economy is developing rapidly and the whole city is a world of young people.
There are famous companies such as Huawei, Tencent, Alibaba, Baidu, China Resources, PricewaterhouseCoopers, etc., as well as major small and medium-sized enterprises. Whether you want to gain experience in a large factory or go to a small company or even start a business. Shenzhen, the most important thing is opportunity.

Not to mention, some schools also have special school-enterprise cooperation internship bases. Before graduation, they will be arranged by the school to go to large companies for internships. Of course, these students themselves also have strong comprehensive qualities., Pay attention to practice.
When ordinary college graduates from other second and third-tier cities struggled with whether to go to big cities, Shenzhen graduates have already been familiar with the corners of the city and have participated in major companies in 4 years. In the entrepreneurial competition hosted by him, there have been several internships in companies large and small.
The various foreign exchange opportunities and programs in Shenzhen’s universities and colleges are also a highlight of attracting academic masters. For example, Tsinghua University has also established Shenzhen International Graduate School and Tsinghua-Berkeley Shenzhen College, which are positioned as the goal of international vision training. Students can go to universities and research institutes in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom for overseas academic exchange activities.
△Tsinghua-Berkeley Shenzhen College nearly one-third of the faculty members come from the University of California, Berkeley
Studying in a university in Shenzhen, you can communicate face-to-face with the Nobel Prize winners and academicians to apply for various overseas studies or exchange programs to gain a broader perspective, and you can also exchange and study with peers from various high-quality universities.
Located in the University Town by the Lihu Lake in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, there are Shenzhen Research Institute of Tsinghua University, Shenzhen Research Institute of Peking University, Harbin Institute of Technology(Shenzhen) And many universities, canteens and courts are shared between schools.
Maybe behind you today is the Tsinghua Schoolmaster with a GPA4.0. The guy who played basketball with you yesterday will go abroad for exchanges tomorrow.
Reading on the lawn of Tsinghua University, drinking at the lake of Peking University, and then picking lychees at the Litchi Garden of the University of Technology. Can you imagine this scene? In Shenzhen, let imagination become reality.
If you have high requirements for dormitory conditions, congratulations, all the dormitories of major universities in Shenzhen are air-conditioned! Because of the short time since the establishment of the school, most colleges and universities dormitory buildings are very new, and the conditions are also the college series of others.
For example, the Shenzhen Institute of Tourism of Jinan University is located in the tourist attraction of OCT Dujuan Mountain, and the Window of the World and Happy Valley are nearby.

What is the experience of studying at the Chinese University of Hong Kong(Shenzhen)? Learn about the academy system. Simply put, the academy manages students’ daily affairs other than classes. Students have their own departments in terms of professionalism, and their lives belong to each academy. The academy provides not only dormitories and canteens, but also music rooms and gyms. , Laundry room (with dryer), special lectures will be held, dinner with Nobel Prize winners… p>

You can go to the music room to practice piano, you can go to the gym, and finally you can go to the massage room when you are tired. No wonder the students say “the college is the father and the college is the mother”.

3. Why do Shenzhen have more branches
According to the statistics of the Shenzhen Municipal Education Bureau, there are a total of 14 colleges and universities enrolling students in Shenzhen so far. Among these 14 universities, “branch schools” account for nearly half.
Why do Shenzhen have so many “branch schools”? This is inseparable from the characteristic development trajectory of Shenzhen. As a young first-tier city that took 40 years to take off, Shenzhen’s economic development has created a miracle of “Shenzhen Speed”.
In contrast to the rapid economic development, education has always been a shortcoming of Shenzhen. For a long time, Shenzhen has been facing the embarrassing situation of only one Shenzhen University, basic education is not satisfactory, and the enrollment rate of secondary schools is even less than half.

Starting a university is not a matter of overnight. It requires long-term investment and construction. The introduction of universities has become a compromise method for quickly attracting talents.
So Shenzhen, in addition to the construction of Shenzhen University, Southern University of Science and Technology and other universities, began to cooperate with the top domestic universities, Tsinghua University, Peking University and other schools to establish graduate schools. Unlike undergraduates, the cultivation of postgraduates pays more attention to scientific research and the rapid application of scientific research results to industrial development, which is exactly what Shenzhen needs to develop.
Take the Shenzhen Research Institute of Tsinghua University as an example. More than 2,500 companies have been incubated and 21 listed companies have been cultivated, including Lihe Microelectronics, Lando Biomaterials, and Mizuki Jingu.
By now, these prestigious schools have not only transferred the training of graduate students to Shenzhen, but also gradually followed up undergraduate education. The Shenzhen campus of Harbin Institute of Technology began enrolling undergraduates in 2017, and the admission score even exceeded Sun Yat-sen University and South China University of Technology.
The process of introducing universities did not stop because of the entry of Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Harbin Institute of Technology.
According to the plan, by 2025, Shenzhen’s colleges and universities will reach about 20, reaching the goal of about 200,000 full-time students. The comprehensive ranking of 3~5 colleges and universities will be among the top 50 in the country and will become the South Important higher education center.
Look at the list of cooperatively introduced universities in Shenzhen in recent years: not only Zhejiang University, Nanjing University, Xi’an Jiaotong University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan University, Renmin University of China and other domestic famous universities, but also Yale and Oxford. , Cambridge and other world famous schools.
△In 2019, Nankai University and Oxford University announced the establishment of a joint research institute in Shenzhen
△Cambridge University and Peking University will jointly run a school in Shenzhen
This model of introducing and cooperating with well-known universities at home and abroad can be said that only Shenzhen, a city that pays attention to economic efficiency, can do it. This has also become a model of higher education with Shenzhen characteristics.
It is true that due to the short time to establish a school, this cooperation model also has problems such as insufficient resources, insufficient infrastructure, more emphasis on science and weak humanities, etc., but things are never achieved overnight, especially when running a university. The development of education in Shenzhen may not have immediate results, only time can give the answer.
Not long ago, Shenzhen just passed its 40th birthday. This city, which has witnessed the miracle of reform and opening up, is now achieving its Shenzhen speed in education.
