There are many universities with the same abbreviated names in China, some of which are close to each other in strength, such as Nanfang Medical University and Nanjing Medical University, whose abbreviated names are all "Nanyi University"; some of which are quite different in strength, such as Jilin University and Jishou University, whose abbreviated names are all "Jida". Today, let's take a look at two universities with the same abbreviation and strong strength. They are Hunan University and Hubei University with the same abbreviation. However, it needs to be stressed that the strength of Hubei University is relatively strong compared with provincial colleges and universities. If we look at Hunan University from the same level, Hubei University is not a strong university. After all, one is 985 University, and the other is "non 211" local management university. Hunan University
Hunan University originated from Yuelu Academy, which was founded in 976 A.D. In 1937, Hunan University became one of the 16 national universities established by the Ministry of education at that time; in 1949, after integration, Hunan University became the largest comprehensive university in Central China; in 1978, the university entered the ranks of national key universities; in 2016, the University was selected into the list of Colleges and universities jointly built by the national defense science and Technology Bureau and the Ministry of education during the 13th Five Year Plan period; in 2019, the University was recognized as the first batch of higher education Base for transformation and transfer of scientific and technological achievements. As a key construction University of "985 Project", "211 Project" and "double first-class" world-class university, Hunan University not only represents the highest level of Hunan higher education, but also represents the top level of domestic higher education. The school has 2 first-class national key disciplines, 2 "world-class construction disciplines" (Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering), and 14 second-class national key disciplines.
In 2019, the world's first-class disciplines of soft science rank, 19 disciplines of Hunan university rank in the top 500 in the world, among which civil engineering, instrument science and chemical engineering rank in the top 50 in the world. In terms of comprehensive ranking, Hunan University has been frequently listed in various world university rankings, and ranks very high. In 2020u.s.news, Hunan University ranks 338th in the world and 17th in the mainland of China, ranking above Nankai University and Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics; in 2020, times higher education world university ranks 401-500 in the world and 14th in the mainland of China. However, compared with 985 universities, the admission line of Hunan University is not high, and the transmission line in many regions is lower than some "non 985" universities.
In 2019, Heilongjiang college entrance examination, science and technology, Hunan University's filing line is 605 points, and the admission line is lower than "non 985" universities such as East China University of political science and law, Nanjing University of technology, central China Normal University, etc.; in 2019, Guangdong college entrance examination, science and technology, Hunan University's filing line is 581 points, and the admission line is lower than "non 985" universities such as Huadong University of political science and law, Beijing Jiaotong University, etc. Hubei University Hubei University is located in Wuhan, the only sub provincial city and megacity in the six central provinces. It is a provincial key Comprehensive University jointly built by the Ministry of education and Hubei Province, a National University of "basic capacity construction project of universities in the central and western regions" and a "domestic first-class university construction university" in Hubei Province. Due to the huge identity difference between Hubei University and Hunan University, the reputation and strength of Hubei University are not at the same level as Hunan University, but from the perspective of provincial universities, Hubei University is definitely the "best".
In terms of discipline construction, Hubei University has 16 key first-class disciplines in Hubei Province during the 12th Five Year Plan, 2 advantageous characteristic discipline groups in Hubei Province during the 13th five year plan, and 44 post disciplines under the Chutian scholars plan. Five disciplines including nano science and technology, material science and engineering, energy science and engineering, bioengineering and chemistry rank among the world's top 500 soft science disciplines in 2019. In the fourth discipline evaluation, 15 disciplines of Hubei University ranked first among the universities affiliated to Hubei Province, and 8 disciplines ranked the top three among the universities in Hubei Province, showing outstanding performance. Because of its strong strength, Hubei University has become one of the most popular provincial colleges and universities for examinees. The score line is in a high position among similar colleges and universities, and the admission line in some regions even exceeds some 211 colleges and universities. In 2019 Anhui college entrance examination, Hubei University's filing line in science and technology category is 563 points, 67 points higher than one line; in 2019 Hainan college entrance examination, Hubei University's filing line in literature and history category is 697 points, and the admission line exceeds 211 universities such as Hainan University and Guizhou University; in 2019 Jiangxi college entrance examination, Hubei University's filing line in science and technology category is 566 points, and the admission line is among 211 universities such as Nanchang University and Guangxi University Up.
Hunan and Hubei borders on each other. Both Hunan University and Hubei University are called "Huda" for short, and they are all universities in the name of provinces. It's easy to confuse them if you don't understand them. However, it is understandable that their abbreviations are all "Hu Da". If the abbreviation is not "Hu Da", can Hunan University be referred to as "Nan Da" and Hubei University as "Peking University"? In any case, Hubei University and Hunan University still have a large strength gap, and their reputation is not at the same level. It can be said that Hunan University is suitable for top candidates with first-class strength and Hubei University is suitable for "middle candidates" with strong strength.
