Universities ranked by the number of foreign students, Beijing language first, Tsinghua falls out of the top five

When we rank universities, there are many perspectives, whether it starts from the quality of students, or from the characteristics of disciplines and majors, all of which are our thinking directions in order to understand the situation of universities more comprehensively and thoroughly. Recently, the editor saw a very Interesting ranking, he thinks about the development of the university from the perspective of the number of foreign students.

The following small series for readers to do a simple sharing of the top five on this list. The data comes from the 2020 International Student Ranking of Chinese Universities compiled by a relatively authoritative university evaluation agency in China. What is more striking is that the top of the list is not Tsinghua University and Peking University, nor Zhejiang University and Fudan University, but Beijing Language and Culture University, which tops the list with 9,056 foreign students. Beijing Language and Culture University, referred to as "North Language", is located in the capital Beijing. As a non-985, 211, and double-first-class key construction institution, it must have its own uniqueness in being able to overwhelm various famous schools in terms of international student exchanges.

First of all, from the perspective of positioning, Beijing Language and Culture University is a host institution for international students who come to China for Chinese government scholarships. For foreign students, they can study in China through public funds, which can save them a lot of education costs. Therefore, when foreign students want to come to China for in-depth study, "Beiyu" has become their best choice.

Secondly, from the perspective of culture and education, Beijing Language and Culture University is the only international university in China that provides Chinese language and Chinese culture education to international students. For the systematic and systematic study of Chinese-related majors, "Northern Language" is the best choice. This may be one of the reasons for the large number of foreign students in the "Beiyu", and it is also the reason why it is called the "Little United Nations".

Finally, from the perspective of the construction of national key projects, Beijing Language and Culture University has been selected into the public postgraduate program of national construction of high-level universities, which means that every year, about 5,000 first-class students have the opportunity to be sent to first-class universities abroad. , professional, under the tutelage of first-class tutors to communicate with international students. In this way, the reputation of Beijing Language and Culture University has spread in the international community in the process of the exchange of public students, allowing more overseas students to learn about "Northern Language", which in turn affects their perception of "Northern Language" for studying abroad. s Choice. Combining these three reasons, it is not difficult to understand why Beijing Language and Culture University ranks first in the number of foreign students.

In addition, in this ranking, University of International Business and Economics ranked second with 8,555 students, Peking University ranked third with 7,793 students, Shanghai Jiaotong University ranked fourth with 7,412 students, and Zhejiang University ranked fifth with 7,193 students. Some people may ask, why is Tsinghua University, which is next to Peking University, not on the list? The editor also carefully checked the ranking with curiosity, and found that the number of foreign students in Tsinghua University is only 6,379, which is almost less than two-thirds of Beijing Language and Culture University, ranking eighth. Next, we will briefly analyze this situation.

It goes without saying that Tsinghua University is a key construction university such as 985, 211, and Double First-Class. Even in the rankings of international universities, Tsinghua University's performance makes the Chinese proud. Therefore, Tsinghua University, as one of the top universities in China and internationally, is often difficult to apply for, and is not the first choice for most foreign students. In addition, compared with the special status of Beijing Language and Culture University, Tsinghua University does not have so many international student quotas, which directly leads to one of the reasons why Tsinghua University is not as large as other universities in terms of the number of international students.

In the end, the editor believes that this ranking is only a brief ranking of various universities in terms of quantity. What can directly reflect the frequency of international exchanges between universities, perhaps quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes, but it is still not as good as directly in terms of quality. To start with, to rank the learning outcomes of international students in various universities can better demonstrate the university's international hard power. What do readers think?
