Guide: Notes on Sino-foreign Cooperation in Running Schools compiled by the training network of fresh graduates. Thank you for reading.

1. What are the training modes of Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools (projects)?

Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools (projects) mainly implement the "2+2" segmented training mode, that is, students can study in domestic institutions in the first and second years of high school, and they can choose to study in domestic institutions or foreign cooperative institutions in the last two years, with the same major; In addition, there are some Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools (projects) that implement the training modes of "3+ 1" and "4+0". Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools adopt foreign teaching plans and examination methods, introduce foreign original textbooks and teachers, and the teaching mode is consistent with that of foreign cooperatively-run schools.

2. What are the advantages of studying in Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools (projects)?

1. Course advantages. Introduce foreign high-quality educational resources, set up majors according to the demand of international and domestic talent markets, and implement the teaching plan and talent training plan jointly formulated by Chinese and foreign cooperative universities. Most of the courses are closely integrated with foreign courses, and some teachers and teaching materials of Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools come from abroad, which is conducive to students' education in Chinese and western cultures and enriching the cultural knowledge structure.

2. Language advantage. Paying attention to strengthening students' language quality and oral training generally requires students' language ability. Some courses are taught in the original textbooks of foreign cooperative universities, equipped with foreign teachers and bilingual teaching.

3. Cost advantage. Students studying in China can be recognized by foreign cooperative universities, which is conducive to shortening the study time of candidates abroad and reducing the cost of study.

4. Employment advantages. After graduating from abroad, students have the opportunity to work or immigrate abroad. Students who do not go abroad are familiar with European and American cultures and have strong foreign language skills, which are suitable for employment in foreign-funded enterprises and Sino-foreign joint ventures.

3. What is Sino-foreign cooperation in running schools?

Sino-foreign cooperation in running schools means that China educational institutions cooperate with foreign educational institutions to hold educational and teaching activities in China with China citizens as the main enrollment targets, including two forms: cooperative establishment of institutions and cooperative projects. Among them, cooperative projects mean that Chinese and foreign partners do not set up special educational institutions, but cooperate directly in a certain discipline, specialty or course. At present, many universities in China have established Sino-foreign cooperative education models with universities in Britain, the United States, Canada, France and other countries, including cooperative education institutions and cooperative education in certain majors, involving graduate students, undergraduates and higher vocational colleges (specialties).

4. Which students are suitable for Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools (projects)?

Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools (projects) introduce foreign high-quality educational resources, which provides a convenient way for students who want to go abroad. Under the premise of family economic conditions, those candidates who have a good English foundation and want to study in famous universities or abroad, but are limited by the results of the college entrance examination, can choose to apply for Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools (projects).

5. What enrollment form does Chinese-foreign cooperative education take?

Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools (projects) usually adopt the methods of unified enrollment within the national plan or independent enrollment outside the national plan. Unified enrollment in the national plan belongs to the unified enrollment of ordinary colleges and universities nationwide, and is included in the enrollment plan of colleges and universities issued by the state. It is implemented separately according to the professional enrollment catalogue within the annual enrollment scale of the school, with certain quota restrictions. Students are required to fill in the college entrance examination volunteers, and the enrollment institutions will accept students from high to low according to their college entrance examination results, and will not lower their scores.

National unplanned independent enrollment means that colleges and universities set their own enrollment conditions, and students do not need to take the college entrance examination to fill in the form voluntarily, and their college entrance examination results are only for reference, so that some students can enter well-known universities with lower scores. For candidates who are not included in the plan, the college will not retrieve their personal files, and the school will establish new personal files for freshmen after they enter the school. Students are managed by the school in a unified way, and like the candidates who plan to enroll, they are taught by teachers full-time.

Six, the national plan unified recruitment usually admitted in which batch?

Usually there are one batch of undergraduates, two batches of undergraduates and three batches of undergraduates, but the situation in each province is different. For details, see the enrollment plan of the province in that year. Taking Liaoning Province as an example, Xinhua International Business School of Liaoning University admitted a batch of undergraduates, followed by Asia-Australia Business School of Liaoning University, International Business School of Liaoning Normal University, college of international business shenyang normal university, Sino-German College of Shanxi University of Finance and Economics, second batch of undergraduates from chongqing technology and business university International Business School and third batch of undergraduates from Sias International College of Zhengzhou University.

7. What are the application and admission procedures for national unplanned independent enrollment?

The national unplanned independent enrollment is generally arranged twice a year, and the examination content and time are arranged by the enrollment institutions themselves. Before applying for the exam, students need to consult the institutions applying for the exam about enrollment quota, deadline, examination method and other relevant information, and then fill in the personal information form provided by the institutions to the candidates, and the time and place of the examination will be notified by the institutions. Students take the exam according to the arrangement of the college, and the college will inform the exam results and admission.

It should be noted that institutions that enroll students outside the national plan generally only issue their graduation certificates or certificates with the seals of secondary institutions after graduation, not the seals of primary institutions.

8. Do Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools (projects) have any special requirements for students' English proficiency?

Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools (projects) mainly adopt bilingual teaching. Part of the courses are taught by teacher China, and the other part is taught by foreign teachers sent by foreign universities. English is not only the learning content of students, but also an essential tool for students to learn professional knowledge and master professional skills. In order to facilitate students to adapt to foreign teaching models and foreign teachers' teaching after entering school, Chinese-foreign cooperative education institutions (projects) have relatively high requirements for students' basic English.

Do students need to take an English exam?

Most Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools will test students' English proficiency, and only those who pass the exam can apply for the school. The examination time is generally arranged within one week after the end of the college entrance examination, before filling in the volunteers. Therefore, students should pay attention to whether they have taken and passed the English test of the college they applied for before entering the exam. English test arrangements vary from institution to institution. Candidates can check the specific registration method, examination time and examination place in the enrollment brochures or related websites of the institutions applying for the examination.

There are also some Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools that do not arrange English proficiency tests, but refer to students' English scores in the college entrance examination, or TOEFL and IELTS scores. Candidates can consult their colleges and universities in advance.

10. What is the tuition standard for Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools (projects)?

Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools (projects) introduce foreign high-quality educational resources, adopt advanced foreign educational models and employ foreign teachers to teach in China. Because the cost of running a school is higher than other institutions in China, the tuition standard at the domestic stage is higher than other institutions. During their study in domestic universities, students will be charged according to the normal charging items and standards of domestic universities. If you study abroad, the tuition fee will be charged according to the tuition standard of foreign universities.

XI。 How do Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools (projects) issue graduation certificates and degree certificates?

Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools (projects) have their domestic diplomas and degree certificates issued by domestic institutions, while foreign diplomas are issued by foreign institutions. For students who have not gone abroad, foreign institutions will send foreign diplomas back to China, and domestic institutions will assist in issuing them. For graduates studying abroad, foreign universities hold graduation ceremonies twice a year, and graduation certificates and degree certificates are taken abroad by relevant teachers of domestic universities for distribution.

It should be noted that students should consult the institutions they apply for before entering the exam whether the word "college" is printed on the graduation certificate issued. If there is no "college", only the seal of the school is the undergraduate diploma recognized by the state; If the word "college" is printed, it will enroll students independently for the college.

Twelve. What should I pay attention to when consulting the enrollment regulations of Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools (projects)?

Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools (projects) usually need to report the enrollment regulations to the examination and approval department for the record, and the published enrollment regulations are consistent with the contents for the record. Candidates should carefully check whether the enrollment regulations issued by Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools are consistent with those filed by government departments, and other school-running information issued by Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools can be verified through certain channels.

Students should know the enrollment plan of the colleges they apply for before entering the exam. Generally, Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools will clearly state the enrollment major, enrollment number, tuition fee, interview time and place in the enrollment charter, and some institutions will also print graduation certificates in the enrollment charter. Therefore, before you enter the exam, you should carefully read the enrollment regulations of the colleges you apply for. If you have any unknown matters, you can directly consult the institutions you apply for.

Thirteen, how to confirm whether the Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run school (project) has been legally approved?

Mainly check whether the Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run school (project) can provide the documents issued by the examination and approval department agreeing to run the school. In order to standardize the order of Sino-foreign cooperation in running schools, strengthen the administrative supervision of Sino-foreign cooperation in running schools, and protect the interests of students, the newly approved and audited list of Sino-foreign cooperation in running schools with bachelor degree or above (including mainland, Hongkong, Macau and Taiwan Province) is generally published on the information platform of Chinese-foreign cooperation in running schools of the Ministry of Education, and also on the information network of foreign education supervision of the Ministry of Education (it will also be published). Students can log on to the above-mentioned website to inquire about relevant information before applying for the exam, so as to confirm whether the Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run school (project) they apply for is legal.

14. Does the state recognize diplomas issued by Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools?

Chinese-foreign cooperation in running schools should meet the needs of China's educational development, ensure the quality of education and teaching, and devote itself to training all kinds of talents for China's socialist construction. Therefore, the state recognizes the academic qualifications and degree certificates of foreign educational institutions issued by Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools.

Extended reading: matters needing attention in choosing Chinese-foreign cooperation in running schools

First look at the diploma distribution.

Sino-foreign cooperative education projects are divided into academic education and non-academic education, and candidates should carefully distinguish between them. According to the regulations of the Ministry of Education, if a Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run school issues a China academic degree certificate, it shall strictly follow the relevant provisions of the state; If a Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run school issues academic degree certificates of foreign educational institutions, China educational institutions shall have the qualifications to implement academic education and degree awarding at corresponding levels and categories, and the academic degree certificates issued by foreign educational institutions shall follow the principle of truthfulness and validity and be recognized in that country.

Candidates should be reminded that the enrollment of some Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools in the past was divided into "planned" and "unplanned". "Planned" means that the college entrance examination results reach the admission line of the university, and there is generally no problem; "Unplanned" refers to those who have not been admitted to a university and studied in a Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run school. After graduation, you can only get the graduation certificate issued by Chinese-foreign cooperative education projects and the degree certificate of foreign schools. If you want to find a job in China in the future, employers generally need to look at the diploma and degree certificate of domestic universities, and the degree certificate of foreign universities also needs to be recognized (the domestic certification institution is the study abroad service center of the Ministry of Education).

Second, look at the strength of both sides.

After more than ten years of development, Sino-foreign cooperation in running schools has entered the stage of raising the entry threshold for foreign investors. However, just as some places are eager to attract investment and introduce polluting projects eliminated by others, a considerable number of foreign partners in Sino-foreign cooperative education are second-rate and third-rate schools in their countries, and even some fake schools.

Candidates should be reminded that even a very famous university in China may have the possibility that the foreign partner is a third-rate school. Therefore, before the exam, candidates should focus on understanding the situation of foreign schools and avoid hitting the "foreign diploma mill".

At present, the Ministry of Education is publishing the relevant information of Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools and Chinese-foreign cooperatively-run schools (including between the mainland and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and between the mainland and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) on its website, and candidates can log in for reference.

Third, distinguish between fake Chinese-foreign cooperation in running schools.

Some universities, especially key universities, organize so-called preparatory classes for foreign universities, some of which are purely foreign language training, and foreign universities do not participate in domestic teaching activities. By signing the so-called mutual recognition credit agreement, the two sides promised that students who participated in the course would have the opportunity to transfer to foreign universities for further study and obtain foreign university degree certificates after completing their studies. The Ministry of Education specially reminded that such school-running activities are not Chinese-foreign cooperative education.

Fourth, whether the management is standardized.

At present, some schools simply don't organize teaching as promised, and students don't even have as many foreign teachers as other colleges. There are also schools with chaotic management. The students' homework in overseas schools is not corrected, and they will be graded at will without taking the exam, which will eventually mislead the children.

In this regard, the Ministry of Education has strict management regulations, and Chinese-foreign cooperative education projects must be strictly observed in all aspects of the training process to ensure quality. Candidates and parents who are interested in applying for the exam can refer to it to avoid being fooled.

In addition, if candidates can't visit the school in person, they should listen to the feelings and experiences of students who have studied in these schools.
