Xidian University

Xidian University, under the Ministry of Education, is a key national university with a focus on information and electronics and coordinated development of engineering, science, management and liberal arts. It is a key university under the "211 Project" and a university under the "985 Project Advantage Discipline Innovation Platform". In 2014, the collaborative innovation Center for Information Perception technology led by the university was recognized under the "2011 Program". In 2017 and 2022, it was included in the list of universities for the "Double First-Class" initiative for two consecutive rounds. It is one of the first nine universities to have a national demonstration microelectronics college, one of the first nine to have a national integrated circuit talent training base, one of the first two to have a national cybersecurity talent training pilot base, one of the first seven to have a first-class cybersecurity college, and one of the first 33 to have a specialized demonstration software college. It is one of the eight universities that have a national integrated circuit industry-education integration innovation platform, one of the five universities that undertake the construction of a national cryptography research and experiment platform, and has a national College of Outstanding Engineers and a major platform for integrated research and development of the Ministry of Education.

The university was one of the first in China to establish specialties such as information theory, information systems engineering, radar, microwave antenna, mechatronics, and electronic countermeasures, pioneering the IT discipline in China and forming distinct characteristics and advantages in electronic and information disciplines. The university focuses on the field of electronics and information and strives to build a first-class discipline system that is "solid in foundation, strong in strength, full of potential and distinctive in characteristics". It has 29 secondary teaching and research institutions, and has two national "Double First-Class" construction disciplines, namely Information and Communication Engineering and computer Science and technology, two national first-level key disciplines and 38 provincial and ministerial key disciplines. 19 first-level disciplines authorized for doctoral degrees, 30 first-level disciplines authorized for master's degrees, 15 postdoctoral research stations, and 70 undergraduate programs. The fifth round of national first-level discipline evaluation has made overall progress, with information disciplines leading the country in strength.

In response to the urgent need for the construction of both domestic and international values, our university, based on the employment demands of students' source countries, integrates China's advantageous resources (" advantageous disciplines ", "advantageous enterprises") and tailors an order-based talent cultivation service model covering the entire process of "enrollment, training, employment" for students. The college has adopted diversified and distinctive teaching methods and means, and has gradually formed an autonomous and interactive "four-in-one" teaching model (emphasizing theoretical foundation, strengthening practical links, enhancing skills training, and cultivating innovation ability); In classroom teaching, focus on the "four core links" (situational teaching, problem-based teaching, discussion-based teaching, and encouraging evaluation) to cultivate the subjective initiative of international students in learning and enhance their comprehensive design ability and innovative practical ability.

The school attaches great importance to the construction of the mentorship team for high-level international students and has established a strict system for the selection of master's and doctoral mentors for international students in China. In the education and training of high-level international students, the school adopts the mentorship team model, conducts scientific research practice in units of mentorship groups, promotes innovative practice activities of international students and encourages them to actively participate in mentorship research projects, Cultivate high-level innovative talents needed by enterprises.
In line with the requirements of opening up education in the new era, serving the national diplomatic strategy, and actively responding to the national Belt and Road Initiative, the school has signed intercollegiate cooperation and exchange agreements with 194 renowned universities in 46 countries and regions, and established 68 joint laboratories with overseas renowned universities, multinational companies, etc. The school has three Confucius Institutes (classrooms) in Germany, Dominica and Malaysia, and operates four Sino-foreign cooperative education programs in partnership with renowned universities in the United States, the United Kingdom and France. The school was selected as one of the first batch of demonstration bases for international students in China by the Ministry of Education in 2013 and passed the first batch of national quality certification for international students in China in 2016. As of now, nearly 5,000 international students from over 100 countries and regions have completed their studies at the school.
