Overview

What would the world be like without universities? How you solve a problem depends on how you ask it. This law is particularly suitable for us to explore the nature, origin, evolution and prospects of universities. Whether you are in college, have already gone to college, or are about to go to college, have you ever wondered where “university” comes from and where it is going? How do generations of "college students" study, live, and survive? What exactly is a university? The university is constantly updated. Can you feel how unique you and this course are? Here you can study and enjoy various course resources anytime, anywhere, and communicate and discuss with teachers and classmates from all over the world anytime, anywhere. Is this "no distinction between high and low academic qualifications", but "the sea has friends, and the world has neighbors"? Is this teaching model the future of universities? Or, through digital online means, are we finally going back in time? Can a thousand-year university have common goals, common methods, common groups, and a common future? You are not alone, you are a member of the group of "university people" at all times and at home and abroad. You already have but need to clarify your identity and the mission, responsibilities and rights assigned to you by the University. The university is indeed a great existence. Otherwise, how could it exist on earth for thousands of years? Today, the ubiquity of universities seems inevitable and natural. Is this really true? We cannot ignore the greatness of the university’s place in the world, nor the persistence and transformation that the university strives to achieve today. It helps to open a book and learn from history. This is a process of exploration and discovery of Chinese and Western educational cultures, as well as a process of self-examination and self-improvement. We sincerely invite you to spend a fulfilling and enjoyable learning journey with us.
