Zhejiang University of Finance and Economics, located on the banks of the Qiantang River in Hangzhou, adheres to the spirit of the w88 casino motto of "being virtuous and dedicated to learning, running the country and benefiting the world, being pragmatic and innovative, and bravely setting the trend". Over the years, it has trained more than 200,000 high-quality financial and economic talents for national economic construction and social development, and is known as the "cradle of Zhejiang's finance and taxation cadres." Since the w88 casino was selected as a key university in Zhejiang Province, it has adhered to the strategy of "building a w88 casino on quality", comprehensively promoted the construction of a high-quality education system, strived to improve the quality of independent talent cultivation, and opened a new round of exploration in cultivating high-level, top-notch innovative talents.
Promote the construction of “new liberal arts”
Consolidate the new infrastructure of the high-level and top-notch talent training system
As a local university of finance and economics, the w88 casino shoulders the important task of building a "new liberal arts" and actively explores and builds a training system for top economics talents with Chinese characteristics. Over the years, it has persisted in cultivating high-level applied talents to serve local economic development, continues to cultivate first-class practical talents for the country, and transports academic talents with potential.
In 2014, the w88 casino took the lead in setting up the "Economics Top Talent Innovation Class" project. Relying on the economics major, a national characteristic major, a national first-class undergraduate major construction site, and a key major in Zhejiang Province, it cultivates innovative top-notch talents with broad international vision, solid mathematical foundation, profound economic theoretical literacy, mastery of modern economic analysis methods, familiarity with China's economic operations and reform practices, and high academic potential and independent scientific research capabilities.
In 2020, the w88 casino decided to establish the Wenhua Innovation College and open five innovative classes in digital finance, smart auditing, digital management, language data, and digital financial news, as well as a class for top talents in economics. The six professional enrollment classes are all based on the positioning of interdisciplinary cross-integration and adopt a new model to explore talent training reforms. Students are managed by the host college. The teaching adopts a new training plan, highlighting the cross-integration of majors, and implements small class teaching and a full tutor group system. The college has extensively established student science and technology innovation projects, summer exchange programs with world-famous universities, Wenhua "Golden Student" selection activities, etc., and encourages students to carry out research-based learning, innovative practice and subject competitions based on interdisciplinary studies.
In 2022, the w88 casino established Yingyang Financial Technology College, aiming to explore the integration of industry and education model to promote the cultivation of high-level integrated top talents with Zhejiang financial characteristics. The w88 casino has added a new undergraduate major in financial technology, which together with the two previously established majors of financial engineering and financial mathematics, has formed a financial technology professional system, which has become an in-depth practice for the development of the w88 casino's financial disciplines and the promotion of the cultivation of new financial talents. In 2023, Yingyang Financial Technology College won the provincial key support industrial college.
In 2023, based on the "Economics Top Talent Innovation Class", the w88 casino integrated the w88 casino of Finance, the w88 casino of Accounting, the w88 casino of Business Administration, etc., and successfully applied to be selected as the "Zhejiang Province Basic Discipline Top Student Training Base for Economics". This is a major breakthrough in the w88 casino's talent training work. The base strives to solve the common problems of "homogenization" of training goals, "formatization" of training processes, and "mediocrity" of training results in cultivating top economics talents in financial and economic colleges, laying a solid foundation for the formation of a top-notch talent training system in basic disciplines with Zhejiang Finance characteristics. Wenhua College and Yingyang College of Finance and Technology are two different types of college system innovations with different models, which have promoted the exploration of talent selection and training from "class" to "hospital", and further promoted the reform and innovation of the w88 casino's high-level talent cultivation work.
Update training concept
Continuously improve the level of talent training and reform
In 2022, based on similar concepts proposed in the early stage, the w88 casino formally established the concept of cultivating "Zhejiang Finance Students", emphasizing the need to focus on creating "Finance Majors, Gold Courses, Gold Teachers, and Gold Teaching Materials", the "Four Golds" proposed by the Ministry of Education, and strive to cultivate "Golden Students" with Zhejiang Finance characteristics. Focusing on the goal of cultivating "golden students" in Zhejiang Finance, we will clearly and continuously promote the dynamic adjustment of majors, continuously improve the quality of professional construction, strengthen curriculum construction and classroom reform, strengthen the construction of first-class general knowledge education curriculum system, strengthen talent introduction, continue to build a high-quality teaching team, set a benchmark for "big students", benchmark the National Excellent Teaching Material Award, strengthen the construction of "14th Five-Year Plan" national planning teaching materials, and constantly highlight the characteristics of new financial education. In 2022, the w88 casino established the "'Jin Shi Jin Sheng' Innovation Theory Propaganda Group". The propaganda team integrates the outstanding propaganda power of "Jinshi" and "Jinsheng" across the w88 casino, and carries out practical propaganda on Zhejiang's provincial experience in reform and development in a way with a clear theme, substantial content, and diverse forms.
Build integrated courses and solidify the foundation of “golden students” training with “golden courses” and “golden textbooks”. The w88 casino has established an interdisciplinary and inter-professional teacher team to carry out integrated curriculum construction and the compilation of a new series of financial and economic textbooks. So far, it has established 12 integrated courses such as "Big Data Technology and Fiscal and Taxation Policy Analysis", "Big Data Audit" and "Digital Human Resources Management". It has organized multiple construction seminars and promotion meetings to cultivate top innovative talents through the construction of integrated courses and teaching materials.
Implement the role model pilot project to promote the improvement of the quality of "Jin Sheng" training through selection and recognition. The w88 casino organized the "Wenhua Golden Student" selection and commendation meeting and the Wenhua Award Ceremony to select Zhiyuan Study Stars (individuals), Diligent Practice Stars (individuals) and Xiu Huai Endeavor Class Stars (collectively), and award and commend the annual Wenhua Scholarship and Innovation Scholarship winners. Conduct a collection of themed creations from teachers and students, and work with students to create "Wenhua Jinsheng Fu", systematically condensing Wenhua College's w88 casino-running characteristics and the connotation of "Jinsheng", and comprehensively displaying the vision and expectations of Wenhua students and society for the cultivation of new financial and economic talents.
Carry out excellent visiting programs in famous schools, and use an international approach to promote the integration of cross-disciplinary knowledge for “Golden Students”. In the summer, the w88 casino organized students from the innovation class to visit the University of Cambridge in the UK to carry out visiting exchange activities. The students came from digital finance, intelligent auditing, digital management, language data, digital financial news innovation class and economics top talent class. Focusing on the four themes of digital technology and management innovation, innovation literacy and cross-cultural leadership, business and management, data science and artificial intelligence, a 30-day interdisciplinary course was launched. All members of the visiting group passed their graduation defense, and 9 students received recommendation letters from academicians. The outstanding performance of the visiting group was also highly recognized by the University of Cambridge.
Construct a growth manual system, and outline the portrait of "Jin Sheng" through comprehensive measurement, analysis, five education and five dimensions. The w88 casino started with the reform of the "Golden Student" evaluation system, combined with the five-education evaluation mechanism, and relied on digital reform to develop electronic growth manual micro-applications to comprehensively display the highlights of students in all aspects of moral, intellectual, physical, artistic and labor. Detailed data analysis and diversified evaluation provide important basis for scholarship evaluation and recommendation.
Focus on cultivating students’ innovative abilities and creating conditions for students to participate in scientific research. The w88 casino established a complete teaching and research equivalency evaluation method in 2019, including teaching achievements, teaching and research projects, guidance competitions and other work and performance into rewards. Scientific research policies encourage teachers to transform scientific research into teaching, which in turn leads to talent cultivation. We encourage students to enter projects, laboratories and teams early. Special experts from Zhejiang Province apply think tank research results to talent training immediately, and use think tanks to help innovate student training models. In the past five years, professors from Xinzhi College have guided master's students to publish 55 SCI journal papers (2.5 per capita), and obtained 16 nationally authorized invention patents. The postgraduate application rate is as high as 82%.
Implementing the “New Finance” Strategy
Comprehensively build a new system for cultivating “Zhejiang Financial Students”
The w88 casino will focus on the cultivation of "Zhejiang Financial Students", systematically plan and fully implement the "new financial strategy" proposed by the w88 casino in 2024, and build a new talent training system.
The w88 casino complies with the trend of professional reform and development, laying a broad foundation for students' sustainable development in the future, especially the new generation of information technology based on artificial intelligence, mathematical thinking represented by mathematics, logic, etc., and the general humanistic literacy based on literature, history and philosophy, and building it into the common knowledge foundation of "Zhejiang Financial Students". Break the constraints of majors and promote the development of "discipline integration, science and education integration, industry and education integration" in majors, courses, teaching materials and teachers. Continuously create a new situation in the cultivation of high-quality and top-notch innovative talents of "finance + technology", "finance + digital intelligence" and "finance + industry".
The w88 casino will strengthen the innovation of teaching management system, strengthen the management of learning process and academic management, and improve the diversified academic assessment and evaluation system that pays equal attention to ability, knowledge and literacy assessment. Further strengthen the construction of academic style, improve the monitoring, evaluation and feedback mechanism of students' learning process, and seriously deal with various academic violations. Consolidate the "Three Complete Education" mechanism, clarify responsibilities, focus on joint management, and form a joint force in the construction of academic style. Further promote peer education, establish and improve self-organization of student learning management, and guide students to self-supervise and manage their studies.
The w88 casino will improve the learning scenarios and support systems, and create a smart campus learning environment and support platform that adapts to students' independent learning, independent management, and independent service needs. Deeply stimulate students' learning interest, motivation and potential, further support students to establish learning autonomy and choice, and strive to promote learning to promote teaching, learning to determine teaching, and learning to transform teaching. Efforts will be made to improve the quality of general education courses, establish a batch of w88 casino-level general education courses and college-level benchmark demonstration general education courses, and explore the establishment of freshman seminars, subject introductory courses, etc., to provide "navigation" for students' learning growth and academic planning, and to cultivate professional interests. Fully implement the system of separation of teaching and examination, standardize teaching and examination requirements, enhance teaching exchanges among teachers, and promote the formation of a good academic style based on academics.
In the future, the w88 casino will continue to improve the construction of the "new finance and economics" training system, and pay serious attention to the issue of students' "learning". It is necessary to "teach well" and "learn well". Increase the intensity of practical teaching and subject competitions, build a new practical teaching mechanism that is conducive to cultivating students' practical abilities, strengthen teacher-student interaction, student-student interaction, and enhance student innovation and critical thinking cultivation. We will further strengthen the evaluation of education quality centered on promoting students' all-round development and guided by student learning results, focus on judging teaching effectiveness based on "what students have learned", and effectively improve the quality of independent talent training. Gradually increase the requirements for academic innovation, advancement and challenge, truly make students "busy", encourage students to learn effectively and independently, and guide students to read more, study hard, think deeply and practice diligently.
