Following the establishment of Westlake University by Academician Shi Yigong, another private institution of higher learning has set sail, and it is expected that the first batch of students will be welcomed in 2025. Who is behind this university, and why is it so much anticipated? Let's peel back the veil of mystery and find out.
As another characteristic private university with a high starting point after Fuyao University of Science and Technology, Ningbo Eastern University of Technology (tentative name) will undoubtedly become the focus. It was taught by entrepreneur Yu Renrong with a huge budget of 46 billion yuan, which can be described as a great love for education. This also makes people can't help but be eager to look forward to its school philosophy and quality.
Don't look at it as a tentative name, in fact, the plan has been improved. According to the blueprint, Ningbo Eastern University of Technology will take three steps to become one of the world's first-class universities by 2050. As a science and engineering college, it will focus on the layout of four university clusters of science, engineering, information and business, and contribute to the high-quality development of the regional economy.
In the face of the existing intensive deployment, it is not difficult to see that the university has high aspirations. First of all, in terms of team building, the school has signed joint training agreements with famous universities such as Westlake University to lay the foundation for the cultivation of innovative talents. In terms of scientific research strength, the university has built a high-performance computing platform of international advanced level.
What's even more exciting is that the university will also increase investment in faculty and laboratories, and jointly build a digital twin research institute with the Ningbo municipal government, which can be described as ambitious.
However, Ningbo Eastern University of Technology is not an institution that can be entered with a golden key. Judging from the information that has been disclosed so far, their admissions standards will be in line with the "high threshold" of Westlake University.
It is reported that the school will adopt a combination of preliminary examination and re-examination, the preliminary examination of the written test subjects include mathematics, physics, chemistry and composition, and the re-examination is composed of four parts: comprehensive quality, learning ability, expert interview and group discussion. This model aims to truly admit students with academic talent and comprehensive ability.
However, in stark contrast to this extremely high standard, Ningbo Eastern University of Science and Technology has an extremely affordable annual fee of only 6,000 yuan per year, which is almost a low price compared to Fuyao University of Science and Technology. It can be seen that on the one hand, Mr. Yu Renrong pursues excellence and ensures the quality of running schools, and on the other hand, he does not neglect the original intention of providing high-quality educational resources for the people.
In general, Fuyao University of Science and Technology inherits the spirit of Chinese craftsmen, and the elite education route is admirable.
The rise of Ningbo Eastern University of Technology has injected a new impetus into the field of higher education, and it will continue to uphold the concept of "small but fine", cultivate outstanding talents worthy of important tasks for the country, help the development of regional industries, and eventually stand in the ranks of world-class universities and become a new model of private higher education.
For students with lofty aspirations, Ningbo Eastern University of Technology will undoubtedly become an excellent platform for pursuing excellence and displaying their ambitions. I firmly believe that in 2025, this idealistic university will usher in the first batch of new students, attracting batch after batch of top students to join in the tide of talent training.
Looking forward to the future, we will wait and see, Ningbo Eastern University of Technology will surely gather the best students and continue to write a wonderful chapter for it!
