MBBS In China

Xi'an Jiaotong University (XJTU) is a key university under the direct administration of the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China and is one of China's oldest universities.

China's last feudal government failed in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, plunging the entire nation into crisis. During those chaotic times, Sheng Xuanhuai, a famous industrialist and educator, established Shanghai-based Nanyang College in 1896 with the purpose of "promoting education for talents' development to realize the nation's rejuvenation".

In 1921, the college changed its name to Jiaotong University. By adhering to the mission of "learning practical skills, developing industries", the university stressed the pursuit of "a first-class code of conduct, first-class learning, first-class achievements, and first-class talent cultivation".

By the 1920s-1930s, it had developed into a university with "science, engineering and management" as distinctive disciplines and was known as the "oriental MIT".

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45), one section of the university moved to Shanghai's foreign settlements. Another section moved to Chongqing to continue education. To resist aggression, many students discontinued their studies and joined the military.

Before the People's Republic of China was founded in 1949, students and teachers engaged in the revolution to establish an independent nation.

In 1956, the main part of Jiaotong University was relocated to Xi'an pursuant to a State Council decision, and was officially renamed Xi'an Jiaotong University in 1959. In the same year, it was listed as one of the 16 key universities in China. In 2000, with approval of the State Council, the former Xi'an Medical University and former Shaanxi Institute of Finance and Economics were merged with Xi'an Jiaotong University (XJTU).  

During the 7th and 8th Five-Year Plan periods (1986-95), XJTU was supported by the central government as one of the key universities in China, and was one of the first schools selected to China's "211" and "985" projects.

Xi'an Jiaotong University was on the list of universities that would be developed into world-class educational institutions released by the Ministry of Education in 2017, as a Double First-Class university in Category A. This means that government support will target developing XJTU into a world-class university, and its eight disciplines will be advanced to the international level.

Currently, XJTU is a comprehensive research university with nine major categories of disciplines: Science, Engineering, Medicine, Economics, Management, Humanities, Law, Philosophy and Art, of which Science and Engineering are its highlights. XJTU has 27 schools (departments/centers), nine colleges for undergraduates, and three affiliated hospitals.

Shandong University, or SDU – under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education – is a key comprehensive university with a long and honorable history, a broad variety of disciplines, strong academic strength and distinctive characteristics, which has had a great influence both at home and abroad. In 2017, the SDU was chosen as one of the first group of China's high-level universities to be listed in the double first-class university program released by the central government of China.

Shandong University is one of the initiative universities of modern Chinese higher education. Its medical school, established in 1864, signified the beginning of modern Chinese higher education. Its main body – the Shandong Imperial College (Shandong Da Xue Tang) established in 1901 – was the second national university in China, after the Imperial University of Peking. Moreover, it was the first university in China to run in accordance with a chartered constitution.

For around 120 years, SDU has been following its mission to "nurture talent for the world and seek prosperity for the nation" and living up to its motto of being "noble in spirit, endless in knowledge". The university has cultivated over 600,000 talented young people of various specialties and has been making significant contributions to the country and to regional economic and social development.

Shandong University has developed by leaps and bounds in recent years. At present, 18 subjects have been listed in the top one percent of subjects in the Essential Science Indicators (ESI), an index showing the competitiveness of a subject published by the Institute for Scientific Information. In addition, five of the university’s subjects – chemistry, engineering, material sciences, clinical medicine, pharmacology and toxicology – were listed in the top 1‰ in the ESI rankings. SDU has also established cooperation with nearly 200 universities in more than 30 countries or regions.

Shandong University's campuses are in the cities of Jinan, Qingdao and Weihai and they cover a combined area of over 533 hectares. The university currently has four affiliated hospitals and 15 non-subordinate affiliated hospitals. Its full-time student population totals around 67,000, of whom 41,879 are full-time undergraduates, 24,319 are postgraduates, together with 1,612 international students.

The growth of the university over the years has seen SDU rise to the forefront of many fields in China. In the 1930s and 1950s, when Shandong University was located in Qingdao, it was the home of many renowned scholars who subsequently enjoyed great success, especially in the fields of literature and history. To this day, Shandong University is well-known for its strong liberal arts programs and publishes the highly reputable academic journal Literature, History & Philosophy. These two periods are widely regarded to have laid a wonderful foundation for the university in natural sciences, enabling it to position itself among the most noted institutions in China.

In August 2015, SDU staged the 22nd International Congress of Historical Sciences, reputed to be the "Olympics of Historiography". This was the first time the congress was introduced to Asian, African and Latin American countries since its establishment. Another achievement was also made in terms of the numbers of participating registered countries, historians from developing nations and young scholars.

Since its merger at the end of the last century, the university’s newly developed disciplines have all risen to the first-class level within the country and some are even known abroad. These disciplines include financial mathematics, crystal materials, condensed matter physics, colloid and surface chemistry, microbiology, reproductive medicine, cardiovascular, cerebrovascular function repair, new drug manufacturing, machinery, underground engineering and Chinese classical studies.

SDU has already set forth a grand educational objective to become a world-class university with Chinese characteristics by its 120th anniversary, with all its institutions standing at a new historic starting point. Faced with unprecedented opportunity, all faculty members, students and medical staff – in a pioneering and enterprising manner – plan to focus on the fundamental task of providing a moral education by advancing comprehensive reforms and improving the modern university system. With an already profound academic foundation and even more untapped potential, SDU is widely tipped to achieve its goal of becoming one of the world's highest-ranking universities.
