Westlake University is now recruiting undergraduate students!

Starting tomorrow, high school sophomores and juniors can register and hope to become Westlake University's first undergraduate class.

But the key point is that for Zhejiang Province , no more than 60 people will be admitted.

The majors are still the five previously exposed, but there is no mathematics , biochemistry, environmental materials, or environment.

Previously, this research university, which is comparable to Stanford, has only recruited doctoral students. Now that the undergraduate registration system is open, it has naturally attracted a lot of attention.



What exactly is going on with Kang Kang?

What are the requirements for undergraduate students at West Lake?

Strictly speaking, this enrollment is a small-scale pilot project of the "West Lake University Innovation Class".

The number of students admitted in the first session shall not exceed 60, and both sophomores and juniors of high school can apply.

The admission requirements include two aspects: on the one hand, meeting the registration requirements for the Zhejiang Province College Entrance Examination that year; on the other hand, one must meet one of the following three categories.

  • For fresh graduates, Physics and Chemistry must be A and are optional subjects , and the number of A-level subjects must reach 8

  • A high school student with A grades in physics and chemistry and 4 A grades in other subjects

  • Won provincial first prize or above in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and information competitions, among which physics and chemistry are optional for senior high school students .

From this perspective, the requirements are not that demanding, but physics and chemistry are two key subjects.

After meeting the registration requirements, the school will organize a preliminary test including mathematics, physics and chemistry.

After that, students can pass the college entrance examination and re-examination and then wait for good news.

Of course, what makes people most curious is the training model of this new type of university.

First, the faculty .

The school has more than 180 young scientists serving as undergraduate academic mentors.

In other words, each student is assigned an average of three mentors.

In addition, there are top professors of humanities and social sciences from home and abroad to provide general education to students.

Secondly, the professional aspects of the courses .

The first two years are for general education and general training, which mainly include four modules: mathematical foundation, humanistic vision, ability and interest, and special education.

At the end of the second semester of the sophomore year, students can choose their own major based on their own interests.

In addition to adopting the "undergraduate tutor system" training model, we also adopt the "independent project system" to cultivate students' scientific research capabilities.

It even says on the official website: Enter the laboratory on the first day of enrollment.

In addition, all employees participate in overseas exchanges .

Starting from the first semester of the sophomore year, you can go abroad to participate in one semester or one year of course study and project research.

Destinations include these~

On campus, Westlake University has also drawn on the academy models of traditional Chinese academies and world-renowned universities to establish four major academies.

Of course, there are also points similar to other schools - the undergraduate-doctoral training model.

Outstanding students may be recommended to pursue doctoral studies at our school.

Seeing these conditions, are you a little tempted?

I even want to go back and take the college entrance exam again.

Friendly reminder: Westlake University's undergraduate enrollment registration system will be officially opened at 9:00 a.m. on March 18 , and will accept student applications from the opening day to 16:00 p.m. on April 12, 2022 .

Westlake University, a benchmark against Stanford

Finally, let’s review the entire development history of Westlake University.

In March 2015, seven well-known academic figures, including Shi Yigong, Chen Shiyi, Pan Jianwei, Rao Yi, Qian Yingyi, Zhang Hui and Wang Jian, proposed to the country that they would like to apply to establish an international, high-level research university with Chinese characteristics and a new mechanism.

In December 2016, Zhejiang West Lake Institute for Advanced Studies was officially established as the supporting entity and predecessor of West Lake University.

In April 2018, Westlake University was approved for establishment, with Shi Yigong as its first president.

The first batch of founding donors also include technology and Internet entrepreneurs, including Ma Huateng, Wang Jianlin, Zhang Lei of Hillhouse Capital, and Deng Feng of Northern Lights.

Initially, this university aimed to become the California Institute of Technology, a high-tech research university.

Shi Yigong said in December 2017:

By the end of 2019, its faculty size exceeded that of Rockefeller University.

Five years later, the research level of teachers was comparable to that of the University of Tokyo, Tsinghua University, Peking University, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, etc., becoming first-class in Asia and joining the team of world-class universities.

15 years later, it is comparable to Caltech in all indicators and has become one of the best universities in Asia and even in the world.

But now with the transformation of more scientific and technological achievements, Westlake University has gained the analogy of "Stanford University" .

Currently, Westlake University (Hangzhou) Development Co., Ltd. , which is 100% controlled by Westlake University , has nearly 20 emerging companies under its umbrella.

West Lake Miwei, Core Voxel, West Lake Xinchen, West Lake Weitai, West Lake Omi, West Lake Robotics Technology, Shuimu West Lake, West Lake Pharmaceuticals, Zhejiang Mideyou Biotechnology, West Lake Biosensor Technology, West Lake New Materials Technology, Pangu Cell Biotechnology, Zhejiang Lantong Intelligent Technology, Jiangsu Haosmu Biotechnology, West Lake Yungu Pharmaceuticals, West Lake Biomedicine Technology...

Two years ago, there were only three companies - West Lake University (Hangzhou) Intelligent Industry Research Institute Co., Ltd., Shuimu West Lake (Hangzhou) Technology Development Co., Ltd., and West Lake Biomedicine Technology.

Just in these few days, Westlake University produced an article in Nature.

Professor Wang Rui, the “youngest doctoral supervisor” at West Lake, participated in the study of the impact of heterojunctions on the stability of perovskite devices.
