Nanchang University is a 211 university, but it is not a 985 university. Moreover, it is the only 211 university in Jiangxi Province and one of the key universities in Jiangxi Province.

school profile

Nanchang University, referred to as "Nanda" for short, is located in Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi Province. It is a national "double-first-class" university, which is built in cooperation with the Ministry and province of Jiangxi Provincial People's Government, and a high-level university in Jiangxi Province as a whole. It has been selected into the comprehensive strength project of central and western universities, the graduate program of national construction of high-level universities, and the engineer education and training plan. It is also a university in which Jiangxi participates in the construction of China's next-generation Internet demonstration project CNGI.

Nanchang University is a comprehensive university and a key university in the 211 Project. Nanchang University is a pilot university in the excellent doctor training program and the engineer training program. The school's predecessors, Jiangxi Medical College, Jiangxi University and Jiangxi University of Technology, can be traced back to Jiangxi Public Medical College founded in 1921, National Chung Cheng University founded in 194 and Jiangxi Institute of Technology founded in 1958. In 1993, Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee and Provincial People's Government decided to merge Jiangxi University and Jiangxi University of Technology to form Nanchang University. In 1997, it was included in the national 211 project. In 25, Jiangxi Medical College was merged and the new Nanchang University was established.

985 and 211 introduced the

985 project. On May 4, 1998, at the conference to celebrate the centenary of the founding of Peking University, it was proposed that "in order to realize modernization, China should have a number of first-class universities with world-class level", and the first phase of the 985 project was first implemented in Peking University and Tsinghua University.

Project p>211: a construction project that focuses on building about 1 institutions of higher learning and a number of key disciplines for the 21st century. Since the founding of New China, the largest and highest-level key construction work in the field of higher education has been initiated by the state, which is a major measure for the China government to implement the strategy of "rejuvenating the country through science and education".

The universities selected for the p>985 Project and the 211 Project are the top universities in China, with very strong comprehensive strength. According to the Ministry of Education, the state has successively implemented key projects such as "Project 211", "Project 985", "Innovation Platform for Dominant Discipline" and "Key Discipline Project with Characteristics", which effectively promoted the overall level of higher education in China. In the future, China will further strengthen top-level design, adhere to the characteristics of China, emphasize strategic guidance, highlight performance principles, encourage reform and innovation, avoid duplication and overlap, improve integration efficiency, and make overall plans to promote the construction of world-class universities and first-class disciplines.

Comparison between 985 and 211

In terms of social recognition, 985 is better than 211. 985 is the overall strength of the school, while 211 is strong in some disciplines.

The comprehensive school-running strength is different. The overall school-running strength of 985 University is obviously stronger than that of 211 University.

There are only more than 3 985 engineering universities in China, but there are more than 1 985 and 211 engineering universities. In terms of quantity, 985 universities are obviously less than 211 universities. Those who were selected to 985 universities were all selected to 211 universities, but those who were selected to 211 universities were not necessarily selected to 985 universities.

985 University basically represents the first-class level of China University, and the list of 42 world-class universities among the dual-class universities currently implemented is originally composed of all 39 985 universities plus Zhengzhou University, Yunnan University and Xinjiang University.
