At the meeting, Mr. Tang Zhenfu announced the results of this evaluation on behalf of the Ministry of Education and the China Education International Exchange Association: The Sino-German College of USST and other institutions successfully passed the evaluation. The expert’s evaluation report on Sino-German College's evaluation opinion is: the college attaches importance to the party building work of Sino-foreign cooperation in running schools and adheres to the party's leadership. The SGC draws lessons from the teaching model of German University of Applied Sciences to strengthen theory and practice, adopt the 1+N model, integrates foreign frontier disciplines with domestic classic courses, and introduces a German teacher evaluation system, gives full connection to the role of German companies in Shanghai, and jointly establishes synergy. The innovation laboratory of the SGC has beneficially promoted the international development of the USST. The college's practice in ASIIN certification has opened a window for the school to keep touch with international professional teaching standards. The students have won many awards in various disciplines and industry competitions inside and outside the university. The double degree acquisition rate of graduates has steadily increased, the admission rate and employment rate are relatively high, and the overseas postgraduate study rate is about 60%. The graduates have a high level of quality and good academic performance, and have been widely praised by domestic and foreign enterprises and universities, and have significant social benefits.
With this assessment as a driving force, and focused on the work of our university, Sino-German make concerted efforts to make better use of the internationalization wing of the one body and two wings, and better help the USST to reach a new level and achieve greater glory.
