The only one in the country? This 985 university has foreign branch campuses and does not have a high admission score every year
China's 985 universities are gaining international prestige and attracting more and more students. In order to expand their influence, many universities have begun to set up research institutes abroad, and even some more radical universities have established campuses overseas.
At present, Xiamen University is the only 985 university in China with overseas campuses, and it is also a very successful example. Its establishment of a branch campus in Malaysia can be described as a positive attempt by Chinese universities to go international.
Xiamen University Malaysia recruits students both domestically and internationally, and recruits students in China every year, as well as in Malaysia. Overall, the admission score of this branch is relatively low, and it is very cost-effective.
There are background factors to the establishment of this branch. As one of the 985 universities in Fujian Province, Xiamen University attracts a large number of overseas students every year. Especially in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, Xiamen University's diploma is highly regarded. Therefore, based on this background, Xiamen University has cooperated with Malaysia** to establish a branch campus there.
In 2013, Xiamen University Malaysia received approval from the Chinese Ministry of Education. In 2016, the campus welcomed 440 Chinese students for the first time, marking the successful completion of the campus.
The courses at the Malaysia branch are all taught in English, so domestic students must have a good foundation in English if they want to study at the school, otherwise they may not be able to keep up with the curriculum.
Compared to students in the main campus of Xiamen University, students in Malaysia will receive the same graduation certificate and degree certificate, which will be recognized by the education authorities of China and Malaysia, which is conducive to employment at home and abroad.
The branch has the School of Electronic and Computer Engineering, the School of Mathematics and Physics, the School of Energy and Chemical Engineering, the School of Economics and Management, etc., which can basically meet the needs of students for various majors.
The advantage of the Malaysian branch is that the admission score is relatively low, and the annual admission score is 50 to 100 points lower than that of Xiamen University. This means that you can also get a diploma and a degree certificate from Xiamen University with a lower score. In addition, the study abroad experience is helpful for graduate students who apply to prestigious overseas universities in the future.
Students who go to Malaysia to study on their own can better exercise their independent living ability, broaden their horizons, make international friends, and benefit their personal development.
However, there are some disadvantages associated with the Malaysian branch. The first is that the costs are higher, including tuition fees and living expenses, which may be difficult for the average family to afford. Secondly, the English score requirement is high, and those who do not meet the standard may find it difficult to understand the course content.
Finally, some parents may be concerned about the safety of Malaysia, especially if a girl is studying abroad alone. For these parents, the safety environment in the country is more trusted. However, as a state-backed overseas campus, Xiamen University Malaysia should be safe and secure.
Every student and parent will have different factors when considering their options. For male students with strong independent living ability, it may be a good choice to get into a 985 college with a lower score. However, for girls who lack experience of living abroad, it needs to be carefully considered.
