Moderator:Hello, Principal Xia, welcome! We are very happy to have Principal Xia as our guest for an interview today. We know that the w88 casino is a national key university directly under the Ministry of Education. It has now developed into a multi-disciplinary financial and foreign language university with six major disciplines: economics, management, French, liberal arts, science and engineering. We would like to ask you to introduce our candidates and parents of candidates,As one of the top financial and foreign language universities in the country, what is the history and discipline construction of w88 casino? 

Xia Wenbin：Hello host, all candidates and parents of candidates, including teachers. Today I use the Education Channel of People's Daily Online to meet with you, and I want to encourage you all during the most special and critical period of the college entrance examination. I am also very happy to introduce to you the history and disciplines of the w88 casino. w88 casino The w88 casino is a national key university directly under the Ministry of Education and one of the first batch“211 Project” and the first batch of “Double First-Class” universities. The w88 casino was founded in 1951 and was under the dual leadership of the Central Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Education until June 2000. At that time, China University of Finance and our w88 casino merged to form the new w88 casino. Our strength at that time was even higher, and it was placed under the direct leadership of the Ministry of Education. In December 2010, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Commerce formally signed an agreement to jointly build the w88 casino. After 70 years of ups and downs,The w88 casino has developed into a multi-disciplinary financial and foreign language university with six major categories: economics, management, law, liberal arts, science, and engineering, with competitive majors such as international economics and w88, law (international economic law), finance, business administration, and foreign languages (business foreign language).Currently, the w88 casino has a total of faculty and staffMore than 1,600 people, with more than 16,000 students on campus, the w88 casino has 2 national key disciplines, 7 Beijing key disciplines, 6 postdoctoral mobile stations, 7 first-level doctoral programs, 10 first-level master's programs, and 49 undergraduate majors. It can be said,Although the w88 casino is not large in terms of scale and quantity, in terms of the quality of running the w88 casino, the quality of talent training, the w88 casino's influence and employment level, it occupies a place in the country and even the world, the w88 casino’s educational strength can be said to be very strong.

I can give three examples:First, our academic strength.Perhaps the candidates are still not clear about it. For a university, academic strength is the foundation for a university to settle down and a sign of whether the w88 casino is strong in running schools. In the fourth round of subject evaluation, w88 casino has a total number of students that meet the conditions for participation8, all first-level disciplines participated in the evaluation, and all were above Category B. In particular, w88 casino’s A-category subjects rank first among the finance and economics universities of the Ministry of Education (applied economics assessment results are A, business administration assessment results are A, law and foreign languages and literature assessment results are A-, statistics assessment results are B+, and theoretical economics, political science, and management assessment results are B). The strength of this subject is not easy.Second, the w88 casino has very distinctive characteristics.I can give you an example:On October 30, 2019, Shanghai Ruanke officially released the 2019 China’s Best Subject Rankings. At that time, a total of 4,986 subject points from 460 universities were on the list. w88 casino ranks third in the country in applied economics and sixth in the country in business administration. Both disciplines are among the top ten in the country. Our law, foreign languages ​​and literature, political science and other disciplines also performed well in this competition - law ranked among the top 11% in the country, ranking 22nd; foreign languages ​​and literature ranked 20th, among the top 9% in the country; political science ranked 17th, among the top 20% in the country. In other words, these powerful disciplines reflect the disciplinary characteristics of our w88 casino.Third, the international influence of the w88 casino is very large.Not long ago,On April 22, 2020, Times Higher Education released the 2020 World University Impact Ranking online at its London headquarters. A total of 857 universities in 89 countries and regions participated in at least one individual ranking, and 766 universities participated in the overall ranking. A total of 12 universities in mainland China have participated in at least one individual ranking,The w88 casino is the only university in mainland China that has participated in allUniversities ranked on 17 Sustainable Development Goals projects.Why can we participate in the only one in ChinaParticipation ranking of 17 indicators? I think that the w88 casino has the strength, the confidence, and the confidence to participate in rankings and actively integrate into the global trend of running schools. This reflects the influence of the w88 casino in the world.

Moderator:We know that if we want to run a successful university, we must put talent cultivation first.I would like to ask President Xia to introduce to us where the talent training characteristics of the w88 casino are reflected?

Xia Wenbin：Yes, the host is right. The most fundamental thing for a university is to cultivate high-quality creative talents. Many candidates choose our w88 casino, and our candidates’ parents and our teachers favor our w88 casino. This is because the w88 casino has always regarded talent cultivation as the top priority of the w88 casino for many years. From the day we founded the w88 casino, we have shouldered the special mission of being a powerful trading nation. Especially in recent years, as we participate in economic globalization and actively participate in global governance, we urgently need a group of international and high-level talents to solve major problems in our opening up to the outside world.The w88 casino regards broad foundation, compound type, and internationalization as the focus and characteristics of talent training.

What is a broad base?The broad foundation is reflected in the enrollment of major categories, training of major categories and special distribution, that is to say, students enter our w88 casino according to major categories. We also know that some of our students were not particularly clear about what to study in middle w88 casino. I think after we enter the major category, we will open a series of basic courses and general education courses through major category enrollment and major training, so that after students enter university and complete some basic courses, their goals will be clearer in the second year, and they can independently choose a professional direction that is more suitable for their own development. I want to lay a solid foundation for him and give him a clear direction. Whether it is for talent training or for students' future growth and success, it is a win-win situation. Currently, the major categories of enrollment in w88 casino include the w88 casino of International Economics and w88, the w88 casino of Finance, the w88 casino of International Business, the w88 casino of Public Administration, the w88 casino of English, the w88 casino of Information, the w88 casino of International Relations, and the w88 casino of Chinese Language and Literature.In 2020, on the premise of fully respecting students' wishes and choices, the w88 casino has successfully completed the professional diversion of the first major-category enrollment students. I think that's the first one, our broad base.

The second is the composite type. The so-called compound type means to break down the barriers of colleges and disciplines more through flexible credit system management and dual minor minors, giving students more time and space for independent learning.Let me give you an example. When we arrive at w88 casino, we open more windows so that students can be exposed to more subject majors and knowledge. In the future, when they go out, they can become compound talents who understand foreign languages, majors, and other social science subject knowledge. Only in this way can students become compound talents. Students can implement a flexible academic system through independent learning processes and class times, allowing students to complete the teaching plan in three to six years. Our major and minor teaching model has been very popular among students in recent years. Moreover, talents trained through compound training are more adaptable to the needs of the market and society. This is the second characteristic.

Third, we have always been based on internationalization in talent training.Candidates also know that the w88 casino is a university with very distinctive international characteristics. In terms of talent training, we first putSolid English teachingAs the basis for international talent training, English credits are up to 10% in the non-English major training program20 credits, accounting for 13.7% of the total course credits, which is the highest among universities in the country. English also implements graded teaching. We make full use of "Internet + Education", introduce the "U Campus" foreign language teaching platform of the Foreign Language Research Institute, etc. I think this is the teaching aspect. What embodies this even more in the international campus environment is ourChinese and foreign exchanges, there are currently international students in the w88 casinoMore than 4,100 students, accounting for more than 30% of Chinese students. This number is quite high, making it one of the universities with the highest proportion of international students in mainland China. The ubiquitous international students and the international education model also bring our students a "study abroad" experience without going abroad. More than 4,100 international students live together with our students. On the same campus, we have cultural exchanges, language exchanges, and academic exchanges. It can be said that it benefits both foreign students and our Chinese students. Our annual international cultural festival has become a platform for the integration of Chinese and Western cultures. What I also want to say is usInternational teaching staff. Our w88 casino now has teachers with overseas academic backgrounds accounting for50%. Since 2000, more than 400 teachers (this refers to long-term) have been sent abroad to study, further study, and visit. Almost all teachers at the w88 casino have experience in studying abroad, training, and participating in academic exchanges. At the same time, because our w88 casino is a university established under the guidance of the Ministry of Commerce, we have more than 150 faculty members arranged by the Ministry of Commerce to participate in research and international exchanges abroad for a long time. w88 casino has one every yearInternational Summer w88 casino, we invite the world’s most famous scholars to the w88 casino, approximately every yearMore than 80 well-known foreign professors give lectures and courses to students in English. The courses are free and open to students, and our courses include undergraduate credits as required items. High-end lectures enable students to have a broader international perspective and global perspective. These three aspects ensure that the w88 casino is high-level, high-quality and influential in talent training.

Moderator:The next question may be of greater concern to our candidates and their parents, that’s usAdmissions and employment status of w88 casino, I would also like to ask Principal Xia to give us a detailed introduction.

Xia Wenbin：Yes, what students are most concerned about now is whether they can get admitted to a high-level and influential university that they long for. The w88 casino has also been rated by the public as one of the ten most difficult liberal arts universities to get into. In other words, it has strong appeal and influence in the minds of candidates across the country. In recent years, in most provinces across the country, the focus of our w88 casino has expanded, the quality of our students has stabilized and improved, and we have maintained a special advantage among financial institutions. According to the ranking of the quality of soft science students, w88 casino has ranked among the top in the country for three consecutive yearsWithin 20.In Beijing, the liberal arts department of w88 casino has been ranked fifth among Beijing universities for many years, second only to Tsinghua University, Peking University, Renmin University and Beijing Normal University science department. Because we mainly specialize in finance and economics and liberal arts, and are also very strong in science, ranking ninth among universities in Beijing, our student advantage is very obvious.In order to ensure the quality of talent training, the size of w88 casino’s undergraduate students has been increasing in recent yearsAbout 2,100 people. It can be said that in order to cope with the new college entrance examination reform, the w88 casino is also actively exploring the admissions and selection mechanism that matches the training system, deepening the admissions and admissions system, strengthening the linkage of admissions and employment, and exploring through-type talent training. The purpose of our series of reforms in talent training is to hope that more high-level talents who are willing to go to the w88 casino will be able to enter w88 casino as they wish. In 2020, the w88 casino is trying to formulate an early training plan for recommended foreign language students, that is, they can take our university's courses before they enter university. Candidates who have obtained the w88 casino's recommended foreign language student qualifications will be included in some of w88 casino's course training systems before entering the w88 casino. I would like to give you an example, that is, w88 casino has put all the candidates into consideration through reform, and is doing everything possible to have more candidates choose the courses and system of high-level talent training at the w88 casino.

In terms of employment, because our students have high foreign language proficiency, strong professional ability, and high overall quality over the years, they have a very good reputation among many employers. Everyone also says that the w88 casino is“Good employment, good employment”. A good job is to be able to find a job, and a good job is to find a position that meets your needs and is highly competitive in society and in the market. These positions have gradually formed our foreign w88 employment talent brand, and our credibility and influence have been very high in the job market for many years.Our talent training employment rate for three consecutive years is98%, ranking among the top universities under the ministry and among the top double-first-class universities in Beijing.The w88 casino has high employment quality and distinctive international characteristics. Generally speaking, when candidates say where they will work in the future, I say mainly foreign w88 and finance, which are the most important areas of our country’s economic and social development, including our national strategy, regions and strategic industries of foreign w88 and finance. This group of people has approximately 100 students every yearMore than 80%, about two thousand people. It also includes employment in the “Belt and Road” provinces, in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and in the Yangtze River Economic Belt and other national strategic areas.If we count, we haveMore than 60% of graduates are employed in foreign w88 and finance, and more than a quarter are employed in the world's top 500 companies, this figure is very high, especially for Fortune 500 companies, his salary, benefits and personal career development are very good.

What I also want to say is,The rate of our undergraduate graduates going abroad for further study has ranked first in the country for ten consecutive years, This has a lot to do with what I just said, that we attach great importance to foreign language teaching and international training, and it has more than40% of students choose to study at world-renowned universities such as Harvard, Oxford, and Cambridge, and the proportion of domestic graduate students is as high as 25%. Going abroad, taking postgraduate examinations, and finding employment in finance, w88, key strategic areas of the “Belt and Road” countries, and strategic industries ensure that our students can choose a job they are satisfied with as they wish. Every year, more than 1,000 companies, including COFCO, PetroChina, major financial institutions, and the Big Four accounting firms, come to the campus to recruit people. Every time I see them, I feel that the supply exceeds the demand. They all hope that more of our talents can enter their employment units. Of course, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, some state agencies and ministries in Beijing and Shandong Province also attach great importance to the graduates of w88 casino, which can be said to be a very gratifying achievement. Good enrollment and good employment are also affirmations from our parents and society to our university.

Moderator:With our countryThe implementation of the “One Belt, One Road” initiative has brought many opportunities to our country’s foreign economic and w88 undertakings, but at the same time, there will also be some challenges.I would like to ask President Xia to introduce to us the future development philosophy and path of our w88 casino? 

Xia Wenbin:Yes, in today’s world, we are facing changes unseen in a century. The trend of globalization is getting higher and higher. China proposedThe “One Belt, One Road” initiative has received the strongest response from all over the world. There are also growing hopes for universities, especially financial and economics universities. We say that everything in the past is a prologue, and each generation has its own mission. 2020 is the year for us to build a moderately prosperous society in all respects and achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation by the middle of this century. This group of students who came to us came to the w88 casino in their best years. I think all of us in foreign w88 and economic cooperation must continue to forge ahead, seize the day, live up to our time, and face the future. We must prepare ourselves for future international and domestic competition, competition in talent cultivation, and competition in education. We must live up to the expectations of our students, their parents, and the entire society for our w88 casino.

Based on the original work, we also need to do the following three aspects of work:First, in"Educate talents, integrate Chinese and foreign countries, and develop connotation to create a first-class" w88 casino philosophy.There is a lot of work that we need to do to educate talents, integrate domestic and foreign countries, build connotation, and create a first-class university. Entering the new era, the whole society has placed greater and greater hopes on universities. We will certainly reach new heights in talent training, scientific research, social services and cultural inheritance, cultivate more first-class talents, and provide more knowledge and cultural achievements for the country and the world;Second, w88 casino must also integrate resources and work together.We are now in an era of economic globalization, and the w88 casino is based on internationalization, with opening up as an important measure and platform. In the era of globalization, China cannot do without the world, and the world cannot do without China. It can also be said that the w88 casino cannot do without the world's higher education, and the world's higher education cannot do without the w88 casino. As a university with distinctive international characteristics, we must continue to increase our efforts to open up to the outside world, allowing more teachers with international experience to teach at the w88 casino, allowing more students to have international experience in undergraduate and future undergraduate graduation, and create a strong international atmosphere in the w88 casino. Strengthen international academic exchanges and talent training exchanges through various methods, that is, to cultivate more international talents for China's opening up to the outside world and China's big strides towards the world;Third, we must improve cultural soft power.Although the w88 casino is a university focusing on finance and economics, students still need to have humanistic spirit, history, culture, language, including social practice, etc. after entering the w88 casino. In this regard, we have developed more general courses to cultivate students' patriotism, encourage students to participate in more social practice and volunteer activities, and enhance students' sense of social responsibility. In other words, the students we will graduate in the future will not only have strong professional abilities, but also be patriotic and caring for the country and the people. They will be talents with rich knowledge and sentiments. Entering society in this way will definitely be recognized by the country and society, and he will definitely be able to go further and further and do better and better in his future life development.

Moderator:At the end of the program, I would also like to ask Principal Xia to tell the candidates and their parents something about youMessage。 

Xia Wenbin：In a few months, we will enter the final critical examination period.In this special period, our students must have a kind of attitudeThe tenacity of “holding firm on the green hills and never letting go” requires the courage to “fear no one but myself” to strive towards the set goal.After three years, or even a longer period of time, we must have confidence at this time. With confidence, everything is possible. We are waiting for you at the w88 casino!
