After the announcement of Xiamen University's 2012 Undergraduate Enrollment Regulations, Xiamen University's 2012 enrollment and related policies of the school have attracted great attention from candidates in Xiamen and even across the country.
Zhan Xinli, director of the Admissions Office of Xiamen University, explained Xiamen University’s admissions policy this year for the first time and responded to the school’s campus adjustments this year and tuition exemption for two categories of students.
Top undergraduate students at Xiamen University can directly advance to Ph.D. This year, Xiamen undergraduate plans to enroll 4,750 students, the same as last year.
Zhan Xinli said that although Xiamen University has no new majors this year, it will strengthen its enrollment by major categories, and the enrollment categories will be adjusted from 68 last year to 59.
First-year and second-year students study general courses according to broad categories, and second- and third-year students are divided into majors by taking elective majors or directional courses to determine their major or direction.
In the entire admissions regulations, what attracts the most attention is the “naked score” admission for majors.
In layman's terms, Xiamen University recognizes the bonus points from each province. For example, if a candidate's original score is 640 points and 10 points are added for a certain competition, then the candidate will be admitted to Xiamen University with a score of 650 points, but when Xiamen University makes professional allocation
, then the candidate’s original score on the college entrance examination paper, that is, 640 points, will be used for admission to the major categories (or majors).
If the raw scores of the candidates are the same, the literature and history categories will be sorted by the scores of Chinese, mathematics, English, and comprehensive arts; the science and engineering categories will be sorted by the scores of mathematics, Chinese, English, and science.
Zhan Xinli emphasized that all courses for undergraduate freshmen at Xiamen University this year will be taken by professors and associate professors, and no less than 90% of professional courses for other grades will be taken.
As one of the "985 Project" universities, Xiamen University will also select a group of outstanding students from freshmen majoring in chemistry, biology, and mathematics in 2012, implement a pilot plan for training top students, and establish a "through-train" mechanism to get top-notch students in the three basic disciplines.
Undergraduate students can directly advance to Ph.D.
Rewards doubled, two categories of freshmen will also be exempted from tuition fees. When talking about adjustments to the tuition policy, the first thing Zhan Xinli mentioned was that two categories of freshmen will be exempted from tuition fees.
The first category is that Xiamen University has significantly increased scholarships for outstanding students this year. All liberal arts and science candidates whose total score (original score on the test paper) ranks among the top 30 in their province, and who apply for Xiamen University as their first choice and are admitted,
Xiamen University will waive tuition fees for four years and provide one-time rewards ranging from 20,000 yuan to 40,000 yuan.
This reward has doubled from last year.
The second category of tuition-free students is the freshmen admitted this year to the School of Medicine and Public Health of Xiamen University.
Zhan Xinli explained that Xiamen University introduced this policy for three reasons: First, because medical students have a long learning cycle and current employment benefits are low, and the country is in urgent need of a large number of outstanding talents who are interested in pursuing a medical career; second, Xiamen University has the facilities to provide medical undergraduates
Tuition is free, there are many donations from Xiamen University alumni and social groups, the medical school is strongly supported by Fujian Province and Xiamen City, and there are donations from overseas alumni and societies such as Singapore’s Lee Foundation. Xiamen University’s medical education has good development prospects;
Third, Xiamen University has been running a medical school for 15 years. The level of talent training and teachers has been continuously improved, and it has achieved good results in running the school.
Major campus adjustment. Students are basically in the main campus and Xiang'an. Regarding the much-publicized adjustment of the Xiamen University campus, Zhan Xinli also officially responded to the outside world for the first time yesterday. She said that the campus where freshmen will live this year will be allocated according to the college. Freshmen from seven colleges will live in Xiang'an.
Xiang'an campus, and "the campus has made great adjustments this year, and students are basically in the main campus and Xiang'an campus."
In other words, Xiamen University will basically concentrate students originally distributed in Xiamen University’s main campus, Zhangzhou campus, and Xiang’an campus to Xiamen University’s main campus and Xiang’an campus.
At the recent Xiamen University "Principal's Appointment" breakfast meeting, Xiamen University President Zhu Chongshi also said, "After moving back to the main campus, students will have more opportunities to communicate with teachers and seniors, and the cultural atmosphere will be stronger. However, most of the buildings on the main campus
It is relatively old and some conditions are not as good as those of the Zhangzhou campus. The school will make every effort to overcome and solve these problems."
It is worth noting that Xiamen University’s official Weibo recently emphasized: “The Zhangzhou campus will always be the Zhangzhou campus of Xiamen University. It is inappropriate to think that Xiamen University is Xiamen University and the Zhangzhou campus will not belong to Xiamen University in the future. The future Zhangzhou campus will include schools and colleges.
Various technological innovation platforms and incubation centers at all levels, as well as teachers and students of Jiageng College, are important parts of Xiamen University.” According to reports, because the total construction area of ??Xiamen University’s Xiang’an campus is 3,645 acres, which is larger than the main campus of Xiamen University, in order to facilitate students.
, Xiamen University will provide students with 3,000 free green bicycles, which are not locked. Students can freely ride to classrooms, laboratories, dormitories, and restaurants on campus.
In addition, there are special buses connecting the two campuses of the main campus and Xiang'an.
