In 1890s, the system of westen education spreaded into my cuntry, and the gavernment began to be concerned with the quality of education. With the develop of university for about one hundred years, universities in China have a comparatively consummate patten of education. There are academic creditsystem, the hight level of specialization in different subject. Such features are the same as most of westen university. Though sterned fronwesten country, university education in China have some different features from others.
In the first place, every student, no matter what the major is, have to learn about philsophy in every semester. Those couses are very boring and relativeless with the major of most students, but we have to study them in every semester. Generally, students should pass the exam of Marxist Philsophy, The thought of Chair Mao, Deng Xiaoping Theory, etc, or the student could not be admited to acquire a degree and graduation certificate. In contrast, university in other country would not require student to learn those boring couses.
In the second place, English is an obligatory course and Chinese is a elective couse in the system of domastic university education.Engish subject play an impartent role in Chinese academic education. The university can admit a student who fail the exam of Chinese subject to graduate rather than the one who fail in English subject. It is ironically to be a Chinese that we do not need to study Chinese but have to study well in English.
Last but not least, domestic universitys more concern about basis subjects, suchu as mathematic, statistics and language skill. Many professor believe that students who are good at math and second language will be easy to study well in their major, no matter which they choose.
May be there are lots of differences between domestic university and foreign university that I have not make a distinction. With the study goes on, I will find out more and more another differences.
