Video interview website:
Moderator:Hello everyone, welcome to the People's Daily Online video interview. Today I have invited Professor Sun Jian, dean of the w88 casino of Insurance at the w88 casino. Hello, Teacher Sun. First, say hello to our netizens and briefly introduce yourself.
Sun Jian:Hello everyone, I am Sun Jian, dean of the w88 casino of Insurance at the w88 casino.
Development History of Insurance College
Moderator:Teacher Sun, we all know that the insurance major is probably the best in the country at the w88 casino, and there are very few schools offering this major across the country. Therefore, we would like to ask you to briefly introduce the current development of our college.
Sun Jian:In fact, there are universities across the country that offer insurance majors86There are still quite a few, but there are few universities called insurance colleges. Among the schools affiliated with the Ministry of Education, only three universities have insurance schools. The other insurance schools are affiliated to local governments and departments, and the total does not exceed10So. The earliest insurance major in our college was1988Enrollment in the year, should be available by now29Year, our college is2007The college was established in 2010, and this year it is exactly the same10Anniversary celebration. The development of our college has been the fastest in the past ten years. Up to now, our college has the most teachers and the most high-end talents, including masters and doctoral students, in China. in2016New Year's Eve201713744_13782
Insurance Professional Features
Moderator:It can be said that our college is still very strong. Because I am a layman, I look at it from a layman’s perspective. When I hear about the insurance major, many candidates and many candidates’ parents may be surprised. Is it possible that after the insurance major comes out, it will sell insurance? Of course, this is a very shallow and superficial understanding, but among our people, there are indeed some concerns and some such opinions. I would like to take this opportunity today to ask our Dean Sun to correct this statement for us?
Sun Jian:This view may be formed in the common people's impressions, but it cannot be said that the common people's views are wrong. Because in China's economic life, there are three major financial institutions in the financial industry, one is banks, one is insurance, and the other is securities. As we all know, banks mainly provide loans, securities companies provide customers, and insurance companies sell insurance to obtain premiums. I can’t say that what they did was wrong, but this is not a very good business model for financial institutions. The majors in our college are actually a combination of majors under the large risk management discipline. The main direction is risk management. We have risk management and insurance, labor and social security, and actuarial science. There are three undergraduate majors, which are more academic. To put it in layman’s terms, we have commercial insurance, we have social insurance, and we also have actuarial science. You know, whether it is commercial insurance or social insurance, there will be huge sources of funds. Recently, insurance companies have been more active in the capital market because they have more premiums and they need to allocate assets.The amount of social security funds is larger, and they last longer, ranging from a few years to thirty or fifty years. What should we do with such a large amount of funds? We are going to allocate assets, allocate real estate, allocate movable assets, you can participatePEVC, support the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, and can also participate in the country’s “One Belt, One Road” initiative for infrastructure construction. Such a large amount of funds is used to repay principal and interest over a long period of time, or to pay pensions, which requires a very good actuarial calculation. This is the main setting of our undergraduate program. On this basis, we have four master's degree programs, and we also have two doctoral programs. Future students entering our college can have higher-level majors.
Moderator:Are there any new directions in training masters and doctoral students?
Sun Jian:Our master's degree programs include finance (including insurance), master's degree in insurance, actuarial science, and labor economics,There are four in total; Ph.D. degrees include finance (including insurance) and labor economics. This is our entire subject system. Our subject system from undergraduate, master to doctoral degree is the most comprehensive in our country and even in the world.
Course Settings and Professional Advantages
Moderator:You just gave us a layman's talk about several majors under the Insurance College. I believe it is very easy for us to understand and has also helped many people learn about them. After you just talked about these majors, I think they are very comprehensive talents for our entire insurance system. In terms of professional courses, what are some distinctive courses or professional courses that are more market-oriented?
Sun Jian:If we look at it from the perspective of undergraduates, we will integrate students' employment into our entire course design. For example, the actuarial major, our actuarial major is2016The first actuarial major in Chinese history. In the past history, we have also recruited many actuaries, but they are all in brackets. Many colleges and universities recruit actuaries in brackets under the insurance, economics, management, statistics, and mathematics.201621806_21962
Another major is insurance, which is risk management and insurance. This major focuses more on the operation and management of financial institutions, including insurance companies and non-bank financial institutions. We focus more on the teaching of this aspect. Another major is labor and social security. Our major has two main directions. One is social security fund management. The connotation of social security fund management includes part of company operations and part of actuarial quantification. They are not exactly the same. Social security funds pay more attention to safety. The other direction is human resources management. These are features of roughly three of our undergraduate majors.
Teaching staff
Moderator:A very good undergraduate major with three characteristics. In terms of teacher construction, what is the current situation of the teachers in our college?
Sun Jian:Our college now has full-time teachers50People, in addition, there are other teaching assistants serving the college, the total of our college faculty and staff60Many, this is the largest in China. Our teachers have all been recruited in the past five years from overseas, that is, students who graduated from prestigious foreign schools. The teachers we are recruiting now must teach in English. w88 casino is characterized by internationalization, and the internationalization level of our students is also the highest in China. Therefore, our requirements for teachers must be good at English. This is a basic requirement. The remaining teachers all graduated from prestigious domestic universities, and each teacher has at least one year of study experience abroad. Even if you cannot teach in English, you can teach in bilingual, and this requirement must be met. This is our teaching staff. In addition, our teachers, including his scientific research papers, are at the highest level in insurance science in China and have published the most papers in core journals prescribed by the state. Three years ago, our scientific research funding ranked second among our schools.
Moderator:It shows that we have a very high-quality scientific research team.
Sun Jian:On average, one teacher has one national project.
Moderator:Listening to what you just said, I found that our teachers are basically high-level and comprehensive. They have professional qualities in the insurance major, and some of the English speaking skills you just said must be good. There are so many Ph.D.s who have returned from overseas over the years. Will we also adopt this kind of compound talent training in our student training?
Sun Jian:We will also talk about this issue later. As I just said, the characteristic of w88 casino is internationalization, and the characteristic of our college is also internationalization. The students we train are elite talents in the direction of international risk management and insurance. We train students with such a goal in mind.
Employment situation
Moderator:I think our starting point is very high, we are heading towards internationalization and facing the international market. It should be said that the employment situation of our students should be very good. I would like you to give a more detailed introduction. What is the employment situation of students in our college in recent years?
Sun Jian:I can divide the employment of our students into two parts, one is for undergraduates, and the second is for master's and doctoral students. Let's talk briefly first, the employment rate of our master's and doctoral students100%，90%The above financial institutions. The employment of our undergraduate students is such a situation.201631861_3190436.53%, ranked first in China, our college is41.57%, ranked first in the w88 casino, must be the first in China. The schools I studied in in China, which are the universities where I studied for graduate studies, were all ranked among the top. Taken together, my postgraduate study rate was75.3%, this is the highest in our entire w88 casino. In my memory, the ratio in Tsinghua University is80%More, Peking University ranks second75%、76%, our level is similar to that of Peking University. The universities we study abroad, our students mainly come from British and American universities. For example, in the United States, they are Harvard, MIT, Columbia, Chicago, Cornell, Johns Hopkins, etc. They are basically these famous universities. In the UK, they are Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial College, London Political Science and Economics, etc. In Australia, they are the Australian National University, referred to as ANU, New South Wales, etc. The schools our students study abroad should be said to be world-famous universities. In other words, our undergraduates probably have less than 100 jobs25%people are in the job market, so employment is not a problem for us. And in the entire process of training students, we combine professional certificates with students' basic course learning. Many students have different types of professional certificates after graduating from undergraduate degrees, which means our employment is very good. In the words of Western economics, if there is voluntary unemployment, because some students do not look for jobs after graduation and have to take the postgraduate examination again, if this is excepted, our employment rate is100%。
Graduation destination: Studying abroad
Moderator:This number and such gratifying results are indeed very proud of you and the college. In fact, you just mentioned this issue, and I can't help but have a question. Of course, I know that our future education development model should be like this, and we should follow this path of becoming more and more specialized. However, you mentioned why so many people in our college choose to continue their studies? This goes back to the first topic we just talked about. We say that the insurance major may serve the market and be more practical. However, more and more people are willing to stay or go further afield to further their studies and then undergo professional training and improvement. Do you think this phenomenon is actually difficult for ordinary people to understand. The job market is obviously so good, why do so many people choose to further their studies?
Sun Jian:I think you raised a question that is of great concern to current students. I think there are two aspects to this matter. First, because there is an insurance master in our college who just ranked first in the evaluation, I completed a questionnaire survey on the fifth batch of students who graduated from us just a year ago. Two-thirds of the companies where our master's degree graduates are employed are in the headquarters. Working in the headquarters and working in a branch have different effects on personal future development. Second, good units are all in good cities, and in good cities, people with high academic qualifications are required to obtain household registration. This is the second reason. This is also the reason why our students, including I believe there are students from other good universities, choose to further their studies.
Famous enterprise cooperation project
Moderator:I think everyone may be striving for that core competitiveness. Therefore, everyone chooses to go to a better and further platform and enter a better platform to develop. Speaking of this, I think that although you mentioned that students in further studies account for a large proportion, there are also many students who are employed. As a w88 casino, how does our college cooperate with enterprises? I wonder if our college has any such cooperation projects, or whether such cooperation projects have been deeply integrated into our teaching practice? I want you to talk a little bit more about this.
Sun Jian:In fact, it is divided into two aspects. One is to cooperate with major insurance companies and financial institutions, including banks, to provide internship bases for students. We have many of these. We have dozens, including PICC, China Life, Xinhua, and Bank of China, and there are many, many, because their headquarters are in Beijing. Including the dual-tutor system required for our master's degree, one of our students is basically a tutor from w88 casino and the other is the CEO of an insurance company. They are jointly led by this, and this is an internship. This is one aspect. Domestic internship institutions, internship platforms, and internship opportunities. The other is the two majors of actuarial science and insurance risk management, which cooperate with the British Institute of Actuaries. The basic course is calledCT1、CT8Examination, after we cooperated with it, we are the first company in China that exempts the certification from the actuary. If a student wants to take the actuary exam, he has completed these eight courses in our college, and if he passes the exam, he will not take the exam again. If he wants to be an actuary in the future, he will be exempted from the exam.
Moderator:It does reflect from one aspect that the educational level of the actuarial major in w88 casino is very high and has been recognized by the industry.
Sun Jian:Because their classes, including textbooks, are all in English, and the teachers’ lectures are all in English. The teachers who teach them are basically actuarial teachers who have returned from overseas. Because this major is also the most popular in our college. Because experts predict that in the next five to ten years, actuaries will be the highest paid, and they are now also at the top of the list. They call this the golden collar certificate major among golden collars. In the next ten years, actuaries, China will have a shortfall of 5,000 people. Now our country has less than 1,000 people.
Moderator:Yes, there is a huge demand for employment. What do I think is the best major to choose? Many people are worried about finding a job after graduation and become unemployed immediately after graduation. Our major seems to be in short supply.
Sun Jian:Our deputy secretary in charge of students told me that our students are basically five boys on averageoffer, the average number of girls is three.
Instructions for application
Moderator:This is the envy of many people and the dream of many graduates. Speaking of which, I have a little question that I find very interesting. Although the number one scholar in the thirty-six lines is said to be the number one scholar, it seems that the number one scholar here is a little better. But there is another problem. People are afraid of entering the wrong profession. Of course, it used to be said that men are afraid of entering the wrong profession. Now it is said that men are afraid of entering the wrong profession. It is very important to choose this major. Many students may feel very painful after choosing a major and cannot continue to study. In our major, which candidates do you think are suitable for applying? It may be better?
Sun Jian:I think if students want to choose our major, first of all, you'd better have a good foundation in mathematics and physics, and second, you'd better have good English, because our college provides students with a very wide range of international cooperation projects, we have2+2、3+2、4+1、1+1, there are so many international cooperation projects, students can go abroad to further their studies. If you have these two foundations, it will be relatively easy to further your studies, and with a higher academic qualification, you will have better positions in the future.
Moderator:Very practical, one is good at English, the other is a very good mathematical foundation, and of course, the love for the financial industry.
Sun Jian:Many students are not willing to do finance, our graduates,90%The above are all in the financial industry, insurance, banking, securities, trusts, funds, financial companies, etc., all kinds, basically90%This is all the above. Doing this is very rewarding, but very hard work.
Moderator:In fact, what you just said about everyone’s employment covers the entire financial industry. It seems that it is not just in insurance companies, so it covers a lot. In terms of setting up core courses, have we also taken into account some courses in other financial categories?
Sun Jian:Yes. In fact, there are many basic courses that are required in the entire finance major.
The college’s “double first-class” positioning
Moderator:In fact, when we choose the insurance major, we don’t just say that our employment counterparts are going to work in insurance companies. The more information we get from you, the more we want to further our studies and get a better platform. We can also choose to work in other financial industries. Of course, as long as you have the enthusiasm and enthusiasm to learn in this area.
There is another one related to the positioning of our college. We all know that every college has its own positioning. Construction and development are all related to this positioning. So what I would like to ask Dean Sun is, what is the current positioning of our college?
Sun Jian:Our college is positioned as a first-class insurance w88 casino and a first-class insurance discipline at home and abroad. We should cultivate elite talents in insurance, actuarial science, asset allocation, social security fund management, internationalization, and comprehensive skills.
International exchange and cooperation project
Moderator:I found that w88 casino has such a good international vision and platform for the outside world, and it also provides a good path for cultivating high-level compound talents for many of our majors. You just mentioned some international exchange and cooperation projects. Maybe many students must have thought of international exchange projects when choosing this major in w88 casino. If I want to have some understanding, can you introduce it in more detail?
Sun Jian:First of all2+2，2+2We cooperate with universities in the United Kingdom and the United States. We study in China for two years and study in the United States or the United Kingdom for two years. They are issued two diplomas and two degrees. This is2+2。3+2I studied in China for three years and in the United States for two years. The United States provides a master's degree, and we provide an undergraduate degree.4+1That’s it4I completed my studies in China in one year and studied abroad in one year. There is an undergraduate degree awarded in China and a master's degree in foreign countries.1+1, because our master's degree lasts two years, one year in China and one year abroad, and we are awarded two master's degrees.
Moderator:Very flexible, changeable and rich training method.
Sun Jian:Students can choose by themselves or not. We should provide more paths for students' future development. Then let students make their own choices.
College’s future development goals
Moderator:We just talked about a positioning issue. Since we have a positioning, we must have a goal. I don’t know that now that we have developed the college to such a good situation, what is your goal, or your goal for the future development of the college?
Sun Jian:Actually, as I said just now, since the day our college was established, we have established the goal of becoming a first-class insurance college in China and a world-class insurance college. We have been working hard towards this goal. Ultimately we hope to be the best in the world.
Development prospects of the insurance industry
Moderator:Dean Sun, we all know that after the promulgation of the Ten Articles of the New Country, our country may have put forward higher requirements for our insurance industry from a strategic level. Of course, with the development of the economy, our insurance has increasingly become an area that attracts everyone's attention, so our insurance major also has momentum. As a rising industry, what do you think of the development prospects of insurance? Because only if the development prospects of our entire large industry have a good momentum, our disciplines may be driven to develop better. I would like to ask you to talk about the development status of our insurance industry as a rising industry from a macro level?
Sun Jian:Insurance in our country should have developed by leaps and bounds in recent years, and the average growth rate is20%More, this is better than oursGDPThe speed is much higher and is growing faster than other financial industries, especially banks. Insurance is actually closely related to the country's economic development. When a country's economy develops and people's income increases, everyone pays more attention to insurance. This is how the insurance industry has been doing for so many years20%The reasons for the rapid growth. Such a rapid growth requires the cultivation of talents, which is an important economic reason why our college is developing so quickly.
We are here2016As of the end of this year, our country’s premium income has surpassed Japan and become the second largest in the world, second only to the United States. I think within a few years, our premium income will surpass the United States and become the first in the world.
Moral education work
Moderator:This is a great vision. Of course, I think we are determined to win, with our economy developing so rapidly. Time passed quickly, and we quickly entered the last part, which was questions from netizens. We have a netizen on the Internet who raised such a question. He said that in the insurance industry, we pay attention to the word "honesty". People with integrity develop faster especially in the financial field. As for talent training, I believe that the cultivation of moral education must be a very important part in our financial major, including our insurance major. I don’t know what kind of work our insurance college has done in terms of moral education?
Sun Jian:I think there are two aspects. On the one hand, it provides students with basic integrity education. In principle, this education should start in kindergarten, kindergarten, primary w88 casino, middle w88 casino, and university. The state has set up many courses to educate students on integrity. On this basis, our college also has another feature, which is that we offer many legal courses. That is to say, students must abide by the law when doing things, including economic laws and insurance laws. These lessons teach you that if you are dishonest, you will be punished by law. On the one hand, we need education and everyone needs to be honest. On the other hand, we need to know that those who violate the principle of integrity will be punished.
Moderator:A very important point in our college is that many people don’t know it. We need to let them know it first, and then they can follow it, and finally it becomes natural.
Sun Jian:This thing should be a problem with two sides.
Message from the Dean
Moderator:Thank you very much for sharing so much with us today. I believe it will be very useful to the candidates and their parents. Finally, I have a small request. I hope you can give some messages to the candidates and some students who applied for the exam.
Sun Jian:The motto of w88 casino is erudition, integrity, pursuit, and practice. Insurance is love. Welcome to the Insurance College.
Moderator:Thank you very much, and thank you to the netizens who watched our program. See you next time!
