Note: Chinese Universities’ Reference Type The university type is a high summary of university attributes, reflecting the basic characteristics of university. This report covers 2 aspects of university types: the proportion of the subjects in the universities and the scale of the scientific research and academic level. Universities can be classified into different ”categories” and ”types”. The “category” reflects the composition of the university, according to the division of the subject and the proportion of the university in the Ministry of Education. The existing categories usually include comprehensive studies, professionally oriented liberal arts, liberal arts, science, humanities, engineering, agronomy, medicine, economics, law, literature, Physical Culture, art. The type reflects the scientific research scale and the academic level of the university. The existing types are four: research type, research-teaching type, teaching-research type and teaching type. The type of each university is composed of the above-mentioned category and the type. For example, according to the proportion of each subject offered, Peking University is a considered to be a “comprehensive” university.
Another example: According to its proportion of various disciplines, Harbin Institute of Technology is categorized as an engineering university. According to its scale of scientific research and academic level, Harbin Institute of Technology belongs to the research type 2 category and its university type is engineering research.
1. Classification of university types according to scientific research scale and academic level Table 1 shows the classification standards of Chinese universities according to the scale of research and the level of teachers. The types are divided into research type, research-teaching type, teaching-research type and teaching type. .
Table 1 Chinese university classification criteria (by scientific research scale and academic level)
According to the above university classification standards, there are 38 research universities in 2018, 114 research teaching universities, 227 teaching research universities, and 379 teaching universities.
2. University type according to the proportion of subjects Table 2 shows the university classification criteria determined by the proportion of subjects. In the subject classification determined by the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council, there are 13 subjects: philosophy, economics, law, education, literature, history, science, engineering, agriculture, medicine, military, management, and art. This book does not evaluate military science. The four subjects of science, engineering, agronomy and medicine are collectively referred to as science in the college entrance examination. The eight subjects of philosophy, economics, law, education, literature, history, management, and art are collectively referred to as liberal arts in the college entrance examination. Science and liberal arts are the customary terms in the college entrance examination.
Table 2 Classification criteria of Chinese universities (according to the proportion of subjects , the 7th revision in February 2019)
According to the proportion of subjects, the professional universities in Table 1-2 can be divided into science, engineering, agronomy, medicine, philosophy, law, education, literature, history, economics and management. There are 12 categories of art classes; China usually leaves Physical Culture in the education category, while the economic and management categories are relatively similar and are merged into the management category. In the actual classification, the professional universities consist of 13 categories.
According to the above university classification standards, there are 201 comprehensive universities in 2019, 176 liberal arts universities, 52 liberal arts universities, 26 science universities, 44 liberal arts universities, and 259 professional universities. Among the 259 professional universities, there are 84 engineering schools, 1 agronomy school, 71 medical schools, 42 economics and management schools, 7 law schools, 10 literature schools, 14 Physical Culture schools, and 30 art schools.

Note: Chinese Universities’ Reference Type The university type is a high summary of university attributes, reflecting the basic characteristics of university. This report covers 2 aspects of university types: the proportion of the subjects in the universities and the scale of the scientific research and academic level. Universities can be classified into different ”categories” and ”types”. The “category” reflects the composition of the university, according to the division of the subject and the proportion of the university in the Ministry of Education. The existing categories usually include comprehensive studies, professionally oriented liberal arts, liberal arts, science, humanities, engineering, agronomy, medicine, economics, law, literature, Physical Culture, art. The type reflects the scientific research scale and the academic level of the university. The existing types are four: research type, research-teaching type, teaching-research type and teaching type. The type of each university is composed of the above-mentioned category and the type. For example, according to the proportion of each subject offered, Peking University is a considered to be a “comprehensive” university.
Another example: According to its proportion of various disciplines, Harbin Institute of Technology is categorized as an engineering university. According to its scale of scientific research and academic level, Harbin Institute of Technology belongs to the research type 2 category and its university type is engineering research.
1. Classification of university types according to scientific research scale and academic level Table 1 shows the classification standards of Chinese universities according to the scale of research and the level of teachers. The types are divided into research type, research-teaching type, teaching-research type and teaching type. .
Table 1 Chinese university classification criteria (by scientific research scale and academic level)
According to the above university classification standards, there are 38 research universities in 2018, 114 research teaching universities, 227 teaching research universities, and 379 teaching universities.
2. University type according to the proportion of subjects Table 2 shows the university classification criteria determined by the proportion of subjects. In the subject classification determined by the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council, there are 13 subjects: philosophy, economics, law, education, literature, history, science, engineering, agriculture, medicine, military, management, and art. This book does not evaluate military science. The four subjects of science, engineering, agronomy and medicine are collectively referred to as science in the college entrance examination. The eight subjects of philosophy, economics, law, education, literature, history, management, and art are collectively referred to as liberal arts in the college entrance examination. Science and liberal arts are the customary terms in the college entrance examination.
Table 2 Classification criteria of Chinese universities (according to the proportion of subjects , the 7th revision in February 2019)
According to the proportion of subjects, the professional universities in Table 1-2 can be divided into science, engineering, agronomy, medicine, philosophy, law, education, literature, history, economics and management. There are 12 categories of art classes; China usually leaves Physical Culture in the education category, while the economic and management categories are relatively similar and are merged into the management category. In the actual classification, the professional universities consist of 13 categories.
According to the above university classification standards, there are 201 comprehensive universities in 2019, 176 liberal arts universities, 52 liberal arts universities, 26 science universities, 44 liberal arts universities, and 259 professional universities. Among the 259 professional universities, there are 84 engineering schools, 1 agronomy school, 71 medical schools, 42 economics and management schools, 7 law schools, 10 literature schools, 14 Physical Culture schools, and 30 art schools.
The distinction between the university classification criteria above for each type of university can be summarized as follows:
Research type: universities with the highest academic level, the most significant scientific research results, and many graduate students.
Research teaching type: Academic level and scientific research results are second only to universities with research universities, graduate students and undergraduate students.
Teaching research type: teaching-oriented, research-assisted, undergraduate teaching, supplemented by postgraduate teaching.
Teaching type: a university with undergraduate teaching.
Comprehensive: Balanced development of arts and sciences, liberal arts and science, with at least two relatively strong subject categories.
Science & literature: the liberal arts and sciences are balanced, the science is stronger than the liberal arts, and the science or liberal arts are less than two subjects.
Arts and sciences: The development between liberal arts and sciences is balanced, liberal arts are stronger than science, and the number of subjects in the filed of liberal arts or science is larger than 2.
Natural science: Science is obviously stronger than liberal arts. At least two of the four subjects of science are strong.
