The same university, the "branch campus" and the "branch campus" are very different, and next year's candidates should understand it early
After the college entrance examination every year, everyone cares about the two hot topics of grades and filling in the volunteers. This is not only a matter of concern to this year's candidates, but also to next year's candidates and parents, after all, they will also embark on the journey of the college entrance examination in the second year, and it is obviously wise to learn about the relevant experience in advance.
Before applying for the exam, many students and parents have a relatively simple view of the process of choosing a major and college, and it seems that they only need to fill in whichever one they like. However, when I was really preparing to apply for the exam, I found that there were actually not many issues involved, such as experimental classes, special plans, and whether to accept adjustments, etc., and many of the terms were confusing. One of the most confusing issues for parents and candidates is the branch and branch campuses.
Although both belong to the category of universities, there is a significant difference between "branch campuses" and "branch campuses". For those who don't know much, the two may be confused and mistakenly thought that they are just the same university, just with different names. However, parents who know a little more may think that branch schools refer to private schools, while branch campuses refer to public schools. In fact, this understanding is a bit absolute, because there is a huge difference in the essence between "branch campus" and "branch campus". Let's start with the relatively easy to understand branch campuses.
Branches"This usually refers to a difference in geographical location, but otherwise in line with the main campus.
The existence of branch campuses is usually formed because the main campus needs to expand its enrollment, and the main campus cannot accommodate such a large number of students, or because of the desire to expand and develop the university, branch campuses have been set up elsewhere. The branch campus cannot operate independently, but it can share the faculty with the main campus.
In terms of enrollment, branch campuses do not have independent enrollment rights, but due to different campuses, the score cut-off may vary. For example, Harbin Institute of Technology is headquartered in Harbin, with branch campuses in Shenzhen and Weihai. Theoretically, the score line of the Harbin headquarters should be higher, but in recent years, the score line of the Shenzhen campus has exceeded that of the main campus.
However, regardless of the cut-off score in the school district, graduates will be exactly the same as their graduates on their graduation certificates and degree certificates. Therefore, when choosing a branch school to apply for, parents only need to consider the geographical location and do not need to worry about being deceived.
There are significant differences in the nature and quality of the schools, which is an important piece of information for next year's candidates.
Let's take a look at the branch campuses that are confusing for parents and students.
A "branch school" usually refers to an institution that operates independently of the main university in terms of teaching and management.
Branch campuses generally exist in three forms. The first is a form that is affiliated with the main school but remains independent. These campuses are often the result of a merger of universities, with some universities being merged into a university with strong overall strength because of their strength in a particular discipline. After the integration of majors, a certain discipline is included in the "class branch", such as the Peking University Medical Center. Although the Peking University Medical School is actually under the unified leadership of the department, it has always been a separate enrollment, independent marking and filing, and its curriculum and other aspects are planned according to the Peking University Medical School, so it is not that the teaching quality of the branch is poor.
The second type of branch is run in cooperation with the local ** and also maintains independent operation. This kind of university is often difficult for parents to distinguish, although it is run in cooperation with the local **, but part of its nature is private, that is, what we call an independent college, such as Beijing Normal University Zhuhai Branch.
However, there are also cases where some branch campuses have gradually evolved into campuses due to good development, such as Shandong University Weihai Campus, which has now been renamed Weihai Campus. The graduation certificate is issued by Shandong University and enjoys the same rights and interests as the main campus, but the Zhuhai branch cannot obtain the same graduation certificate and degree certificate as Beijing Normal University graduates.
The third situation is that some independent colleges that parents know relatively well, which are founded by the school headquarters in cooperation with private capital. These colleges are completely independent and self-sufficient, not only do they not share their faculty with the main department, but they are also managed in a very different way. This has resulted in some independent colleges doing well, while others are not doing as well as they should. Due to its private nature, tuition fees are usually higher, and next year's candidates should be aware of this and not make a rash decision based on the name of the school alone.
Overall, university names are often misleading and should not be taken lightly by students and parents when applying for the exam. China's universities are rich in resources, and many universities may not be well known. Therefore, although there is a certain pattern to the name of the school, students should carefully understand the relevant information before applying for the exam.
Students who want to learn more about a school can check the school's official website or the admissions prospectus, but it is important to pay attention to the admissions prospectus rather than the admissions prospectus. Admissions brochures are usually designed by the school itself, and sometimes they may be moderately beautified in order to attract students, which can easily mislead students. In contrast, the admissions regulations have the force of law, and the information that students need to know, including the application requirements, can be found in them, which is a relatively accurate reference.
Filling in the application is not a trivial matter, but many students do not pay enough attention to it, resulting in mistakes in filling in the application and eventually being admitted to a university that is not ideal. Therefore, it is important for students and parents to do their homework well in advance and should not wait for the scores to come out before deciding on their college choice. Instead, start your selection early and find a school and program that is satisfactory in all respects.
