Where is the headquarters of North China Electric Power University? It should be regarded as a 2 1 1 engineering university in Hebei, right?

A: North China Electric Power University is one of the key construction universities of the 21/kloc-0 project directly under the Ministry of Education, and the first public university jointly established by the board of directors of the Ministry of Education and seven super-large power enterprise groups including State Grid. In September 2005, the school officially moved its headquarters from Baoding to Beijing, and the Huadian MBA program has been located in Beijing since its enrollment in 2004.

The MBA program of the school is mainly undertaken by the School of Business Administration, and an MBA education center is set up to take charge of the MBA program. Our school of business administration has a strong scientific research strength. There are post-doctoral mobile stations in business administration, first-class doctoral programs in management science and engineering, second-class doctoral programs in technical economy and management, and seven master programs. The hospital has teachers 18 1 person, including 29 professors and 65 associate professors. The teaching staff is very strong. The teaching teachers of North China Electric Power University's MBA program are mainly composed of three parts: one is our school teacher, the other is our part-time professor, and the other is someone we hired from the business community to teach some management skills courses. In addition to the teachers from the School of Business Administration, there are also teachers from various departments such as the School of Electrical Engineering and the School of Energy and Power Engineering. Our MBA program focuses on the best teachers in the school. Here is a brief introduction to the situation of teachers.

Question: First of all, as a business school, please tell netizens about some issues that everyone cares about: one is the enrollment plan of the business school, and the other is the tuition fee. Please give us a brief introduction.

Zhang Lihui: We are the fifth batch of MBA institutions approved by the Ministry of Education. Enrollment began in 2004, and the scale has been relatively moderate. We recruit about 120 MBA students every autumn. Our spring MBA enrollment is between 80 and 100. We pay more attention to the quality of training, so we have been controlling the scale. The MBA costs 40,000 yuan in autumn and lasts for two to three years. The MBA in spring is also 40 thousand, but the tuition fee for MBA in autumn may be raised in 2007.

The second part introduces the characteristics of North China Electric Power MBA project.

Question: We know that the MBA of North China Electric Power University has some characteristics different from other institutions. Can you give us a brief introduction?

Zhang Lihui: Our MBA program in North China Electric Power University can be summarized into five characteristics. The first feature is that our teachers are strong, and I don't need to say more about this. The second feature is the dual tutorial system that enjoys success. After we entered the MBA, we had two mentors. One is an on-campus tutor, who mainly guides MBA study and thesis writing and leads MBA students to participate in some projects. The other is called social mentor. We employ some successful people from enterprises, governments and society as social mentors for MBA students. The responsibility of social tutor is to provide internship guidance for MBA students, and the most important thing is career planning and guidance. At present, we have hired about 40 social instructors from all walks of life, who have played an important role in the career development of MBA students. The third feature is our second class, such as Huadian MBA forum, speech contest organized by MBA students themselves, English study group and so on. The fourth feature, which I think is also a very distinctive and strong advantage of our university as an electric power, is the MBA program of electric power. As we all know, the power industry has developed very rapidly in recent years, and the demand for talents is very strong. Our electric power enterprise management MBA is the most advantageous for those MBA candidates who have both electric power background and want to continue to serve and develop in the electric power industry. The advantages of MBA in electric power direction in our school are mainly in two aspects, one is the curriculum advantage, and the other is the social resource advantage. As we all know, North China Electric Power University is definitely one of the universities with the strongest electric power. Whether in our school of business administration or the school of electrical engineering, our teachers are at the forefront of power industry knowledge, and their teaching and scientific research strength is very strong. We now have a special module in the MBA course of electric power, which is a series of courses in the management direction of electric power enterprises. These courses are offered by teachers from several departments of our university. In terms of social resources, we are the first public university in China to set up a board of directors. Members of the school board include State Grid Corporation, China Southern Power Grid Corporation, China Huaneng Group Corporation, China Datang Corporation, china huadian corporation, China Guodian Corporation and China Power Investment Corporation. As the highest institution in the electric power industry, it started the electric power MBA program and became the only institution of higher learning in China to train electric power MBA. In addition, North China Electric Power University has trained talents in various fields related to the power industry for more than 50 years. So our alumni resources are very rich. In addition, most of the social instructors we employ come from the power industry, and they are basically middle and high-level leaders in the power industry. Such as Xie, former deputy general manager of State Power Corporation, China Power Engineering Consulting Group and North China Power Grid. Therefore, our MBA in power direction is very distinctive. The MBA programs that our school cooperates with State Grid, China Guodian Group, North China Power Grid and Liaoning Electric Power Company are all listed as key talent projects by employers. This is our fourth characteristic. The fifth feature is that our teachers who are engaged in MBA organization, teaching and management have a very strict attitude. Although we started late, we made full use of the advantages of the latecomers. We visited many first-class business schools and learned a lot of successful MBA experiences from them. At the same time, we will strive to improve the internationalization level of our MBA program and the standardization level of MBA teaching management. We have also done a lot of work in career development. For example, we set up a career development department and printed exquisite resume manuals and recruitment manuals for all MBA students. The aim of our MBA education center is: strict management and enthusiastic service. These are a basic feature of our MBA program in North China Electric Power University.

Q: Just now, Director Zhang also introduced that North China Electric Power University is the Whampoa Military Academy in the electric power industry, and told us about the development prospects of electric power university and our employment prospects after getting an MBA.

Zhang Lihui: As we all know, the power industry has developed very rapidly in recent years. Due to the power shortage in China in recent years, it may be difficult to achieve a real balance between power supply and demand until 2007, and the power has developed very rapidly in recent years. As school teachers, we can deeply feel the rapid development of the industry and the urgent demand for talents. As far as MBA employment is concerned, MBA students of Grade 04 will graduate in May this year. During this period, the overall trend of employers coming to schools to find important people is good. As far as I know, some students with power backgrounds have very good homes. Compared with the original unit, the promotion has a great span. Students with no power background go to diversified places, some enter the power industry, and some go to other industries.

Question: What institutions provide us with good internship opportunities?

Zhang Lihui: There are several ways for our practice base. First of all, our school has established some practice bases. For example, the State Council Bureau of Government Affairs and Tianjin Delide Group. These are some practice bases that our school has signed at present. In addition, according to the students in 2004, the internship opportunities introduced by social tutors account for a large proportion, and the internship units include North China Electric Power Design Institute, Northwest Electric Power Design Institute and North China Power Grid Group Corporation. Many MBA students, because of their good performance in the internship unit, finally stayed in the internship unit, and their wages were quite good. Another way is for students to find their own internship units.

Question: Some candidates will worry that there is only theory without practice.

Zhang Lihui: For MBA students, compared with undergraduates, I don't think internship is so important, because undergraduates and graduate students may lack work experience, while our MBA students have three years or more work experience. They already have some work experience before entering the school, so there will be less separation between theory and practice in the MBA learning process. Therefore, in the internship, we emphasize that students should combine their own career plans to do internships, rather than simply internship for the sake of internship. I think an internship like our MBA classmates should be from by going up one flight of stairs.

Question: Besides, what is the curriculum system of our school?

Zhang Lihui: The curriculum of our school probably includes several parts, which are divided into modules: the first module of basic management theory knowledge, including the core courses stipulated by the MBA Teaching Committee. The second module is the quality of managers, including China traditional culture and enterprise management, basic knowledge of negotiation, economic negotiation, etc. The third module is management skills. We may invite people from the business community to tell you some management skills. The fourth module is a supplement to our basic management theory knowledge module, including power management knowledge module in power direction, and some elective courses in other directions such as project management, marketing and human resources. In these four modules, we refer to the curriculum of first-class business schools at home and abroad. Generally speaking, cultivating MBA students' comprehensive management ability will lay a solid foundation for them to take up management positions quickly in the future.

The difference between spring MBA and autumn MBA and the way of learning.

Question: Is there any difference between spring and autumn?

Zhang Lihui: Anyone who applies for an MBA may know that when you graduate from MBA in autumn, you will have both a master's degree and a master's degree, so it is also called a double-certificate class. After graduating from MBA in the spring, there is only an MBA master's degree, but there is no master's degree, which is also called a documentary class.

Question: Speaking of academic qualifications, are there any different requirements for MBA students to apply for the same academic qualifications or junior college students?

Deng Zhijun (Director, Admissions Office, MBA Education Center, North China Electric Power University): Let me answer this question. The qualifications for the spring MBA and the autumn MBA are different. Let's talk about the autumn MBA, which requires more than three years of undergraduate graduation and more than five years of junior college graduation. Generally, you apply for the autumn MBA in June 5438+ 10, and the exam in June 5438+ 10 is held on the same day as the national general research exam. The spring MBA requires a bachelor's degree and more than 5 years working experience. In terms of learning methods, there are three ways to learn MBA in autumn. One is to study full-time at school after entering school. The second way is to attend classes on weekends. We opened a weekend class in Xizhimen, which is convenient for students who are studying MBA on the job to study nearby. The third way is to concentrate on your studies. As a power system, Whampoa Military Academy, especially many administrators of power system, want to study in North China. In order to facilitate this part of the candidates, we conducted a centralized learning method. According to the students' situation, we concentrate on studying for about 20 days each semester. Centralized study or weekend classes are all on-the-job ways, with an on-the-job academic system of three years and a full-time academic system of two years. After graduating from MBA in autumn, you can get a master's degree and diploma after completing credits and thesis defense.

Zhang Lihui: I want to add two points. The first one is about the spring MBA. Director Deng talks about the qualification for the spring MBA. Actually, it is. Both these conditions must be met. The first one has more than five years working experience. The so-called five-year work experience refers to the period from your first job to your employment. The second condition is to graduate from the national education series. At present, the spring MBA of North China Electric Power University adopts the mode of concentrated learning, that is, attending classes in North China Electric Power University for more than 20 days each semester. Another situation is the problem of career development and career planning. Our school attaches great importance to career development and the career development of MBA students. The MBA education center has set up a career development department. In addition, the MBA Federation also has a career development department. What does the Career Development Department do? From the moment students enter school, whether in full-time class F or in-service class, we will let everyone test their career orientation after entering school to see what kind of development you are suitable for in the future. Teachers in the career development department will give students some guidance in a targeted manner; In addition, we also invite social tutors, such as some human resources experts, to teach some courses on career development and career planning. Just like in western countries, there is a tutoring system between the grass-roots managers and the top managers of large companies, that is, the top managers will tutor the grass-roots managers, which has not been done in our country. The MBA of North China Electric Power University implements the dual tutorial system and introduces social tutors, hoping that they can tutor our MBA students with their successful life experiences. These students will regard these teachers as their lifelong teachers after graduation in the future. This is very beneficial to the growth of MBA students.

Q: I have five years of work experience. Is there any requirement for this background?

Zhang Lihui: From a national perspective, there are no specific requirements. However, during our inspection, we may pay more attention to your management background or other related backgrounds, as well as your performance.

Interview process and adjustment

Question: Recently, the results of postgraduate entrance examination have been basically released, and many candidates are very concerned about the re-examination and adjustment of postgraduate entrance examination. Please ask Director Deng to brief us on the interview process and re-examination of North China Electric Power MBA.

Deng Zhijun: Hello, netizens! Let me briefly introduce the situation of adjustment first. Let me introduce it from the surface first. Adjust this piece, general research can be adjusted, and MBA can also be adjusted. In this sense, if your first choice is not accepted, you can adjust it, but MBA and general research cannot adjust each other. This is a big principle. Candidates who have reached the national eastern route in the joint entrance examination can apply to transfer to North China Electric Power University. There are still some things to pay attention to when applying for transfer. The sooner you sign up, the better. No matter whether the first choice is accepted or not, no matter what your score is, you'd better sign up early. If you feel the need for adjustment, please log in to the adjustment forecast system on our website as soon as possible, submit your registration information (address: www.epmba.com), and prepare for the interview according to the adjustment notice.

Question: Do candidates have any precautions about English interview? What aspects should be paid more attention to in the interview?

Zhang Lihui: English is an indispensable part of our interview. We regard the English interview as a qualified interview, but it is not included in the total score. The interview was conducted in a one-on-one manner. Our total admission scores include: application materials account for 20%, written test scores account for 40%, and interviews account for 40%. In the application materials, I hope you can fill in your personal information carefully and truthfully, because this piece includes your work experience and so on. These materials will become our school to examine your work performance and whether you have the potential to develop into a manager. We pay more attention to these aspects during the interview; We also value your sense of teamwork, your analytical skills, your manners and other aspects. In short, we will consider whether you can become the management talent that Huadian MBA hopes to cultivate from a comprehensive perspective.

Q: Mr. Zhang, please be specific. When you say admission, you want to screen students' background resumes. What kind of work experience is more advantageous?

Zhang Lihui: In terms of work background, I hope everyone can fill it in realistically. Because we will pay more attention to your performance in the original work unit, your post, your work performance and so on. , with special emphasis on not cheating. Because the core idea of Huadian MBA is Xiu De first. One of our training goals is to have good professional ethics and social responsibility, so I hope everyone can fill it out realistically. We will have a judging panel to grade each student's application materials, and finally there will be a comprehensive score.

Netizen: What is the interview elimination rate of North China Electric Power University? I'd like to ask Director Deng to briefly talk about interview skills.

Deng Zhijun: According to the regulations of the Education Commission, the interview rejection rate is generally 1: 1.2. We will interview the candidates who arrive at the eastern route of the country. But once it is full, we will no longer accept applications. Therefore, students who need to transfer must register early, seize the opportunity as soon as possible, and don't wait until a volunteer is not accepted before contacting transfer. For example, by the end of April or May, there may be no chance. It is estimated that even western universities are full at this time.

When choosing transfer colleges, I summarized three key points for your reference: the first key point is to choose places with relatively developed economy and good market economy environment, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, which we now recognize; Or choose nearby. Some students, such as candidates from Shandong, plan to work in Shandong after graduation, so they can choose Shandong. This is the so-called geographical choice. The second key point is to choose by industry. There is a better saying: a good profession is better than a good major, and a good major is better than a good university. If students don't pay attention to the choice of industry, there will be obstacles to your further development in the future. For example, if you want to enter the power industry in the future and choose to transfer to North China Electric Power University, this is a very good opportunity, a very good opportunity. The third point is the need to consider personal career planning. What do you want to do in the future, you must be clear about this goal. This is my suggestion on how to choose a business school.

As far as interview skills are concerned, I think there should be no skills. You just need to truthfully reflect your own strength. For example, when preparing materials, you can write them in chronological order, or you can write them according to the importance of the work, compress them after writing, and then sort them out. When preparing a personal report, prepare a one-minute, two-minute and three-minute version. You can choose different versions according to the given time at the interview site. Generally, the time for personal self-report is stipulated. For example, if you are given one minute, you must control it within one minute, not more than one and a half minutes at most. This is an unwritten rule. There is a skill that everyone should pay attention to when talking about their own work experience, especially when talking about their own work experience, it is best to follow flashback, and it is more advantageous to describe it in flashback form; Another is to put the important things in front, which will help attract the examiner's ideas. Also, when interviewing, you must answer the examiner's questions concretely, and don't talk empty words. It is best to use less ambiguous words and be as specific as possible, such as doing something specific in major projects; Sales students can say how many sales individuals have achieved, which is very specific. Therefore, in interview skills, we should be specific on the basis of frankness, put the important things first, and use flashbacks for the rest. When discussing a case in a group, we should pay attention to teamwork and self-expression. Don't suppress your teammates in order to express yourself, and don't try to refute your teammates in order to highlight yourself. This is actually not good. You know, the examiner values not only your personal ability, but also the ability to have team consciousness and lead the team to achieve the goal.

These are for your reference. In short, don't fight unprepared. Pay attention to your clothes before the interview. Boys and girls must wear professional clothes, and never wear casual clothes. I even heard that some students used to wear slippers.

Question: Are you talking about the dress for MBA interview or the dress for Kao Puyan?

Deng Zhijun: Dress is especially important for MBA. It's best to be professional in dressing for interviews in general graduate schools. Before the interview, you can choose to attend some training on communication etiquette, or you can find books on this subject yourself, which will be helpful.

Question: When we listen to the interview, our English scores are not included in the total re-examination score. If you enter MBA school, will there be key training in English?

Zhang Lihui: Under the background of globalization, English is becoming more and more important as a communication tool. I hope students can consciously improve their English. We also plan to carry out some intensive English training for MBA students. This is what we are planning, and the details are to be determined. In the past, MBA students organized their own English interest groups and used their spare time to strengthen English training. Why do we emphasize English? Because some of our courses are bilingual, and some international friends often come to give lectures, I hope students can pay attention to their English. In addition, from the process of employment, some students get more opportunities than others because of their better English.

Deng Zhijun: As for English, we actually have a course, Business English, which is also one of the core courses. If some students are not English majors, or usually use less English, this is a very good learning opportunity. This is not only a compulsory course for completing credits, but also a compulsory course for learning business English and practicing business negotiation in English. We must attach importance to English learning. If we are admitted, we will find opportunities to participate in social training or English training, which will be of great help to our future study and re-employment.

Netizen: What is the philosophy of your school? What measures should be taken to cultivate students' comprehensive quality?

Zhang Lihui: I think this classmate raised a very good question. The goal of our MBA program in North China Electric Power University is to cultivate middle and senior management talents with good professional ethics and social responsibility, high professionalism and enterprising spirit, advanced management concepts and means, and suitable for China's national conditions. Our philosophy is: Xiu De, dedication, sharing and enterprising. As you can see, we actually put professional ethics and social responsibility, that is, Xiu De, first. What measures do we have? We will pay more attention to your value orientation during the interview. In addition, after students enter the school, we will teach some courses about corporate ethics and social responsibility in the entrance education; We also invited entrepreneurs to give lectures. Last year and the year before last, we hired some entrepreneurs who were also our social mentors, such as Mr. Qin, the chairman of Beijing Renchuang Group. His theme is to do our duty for the society. We hope that students who are willing to enter North China Electric Power University for MBA will agree with our idea. If you don't agree with our philosophy and study for two years, it may be more painful.

MBA Prospect Planning of North China Electric Power Company

Q: Many media reports say that MBA is depreciating or somewhat flashy. They think that the MBA in our school is genuine. In addition, what is the difference between our MBA and the general research at the same level, and what is Huadian's long-term vision and goal planning? Please introduce it to all of us.

Zhang Lihui: First of all, it is not realistic to say that MBA is depreciating. I remember that the Secretary-General of the MBA Teaching Committee once said: The same graduate, we compare general research with MBA. The average graduate student looking for a job, the media and society will not feel strange. It is normal for general research to get 2000 yuan, and it will not be reported in a big way; If the monthly salary of MBA is only 2000, everyone will be surprised and make a big fuss about the devaluation of MBA. Why is this happening? Maybe everyone thinks the MBA itself is more valuable. However, in fact, MBA itself is a mixed bag. There is no need to belittle the whole MBA group because of the low salary of a few MBAs. This requires our media and our society to treat MBA with a relatively peaceful attitude. Speaking of flashy MBA programs, I have been to many schools, and according to the experience of MBA education in our own school, I have not seen the flashy side. I think the schools I have been to and Huadian are doing MBA programs in a down-to-earth manner. For example, the concept we just mentioned is not a slogan, but a real one, with specific requirements and corresponding actions. For example, all teachers are required to prepare lessons carefully. Teachers spend more time preparing lessons than ordinary graduate students, so they should talk about more practical things. In addition, the teachers who teach MBA are the best teachers in the school, and they have to be carefully selected by the board of directors and the dean before they can embark on MBA teaching posts, so many teachers regard this as an honor. It can be seen from this that MBA is very different from general research.

We hope to do the MBA program of North China Electric Power University in a down-to-earth manner. Realize our educational philosophy and training objectives, and train more outstanding management talents for the country in the future.
