Teaching Excellence
Reforming the Talent Training Model with an internationalization vision
The new training mode allows for NKU colleges to implement a comprehensive undergraduate enrollment reform according to the first-grade disciplines, creating more opportunities for the individual development of students. The 5+3+X model is consisted of Scheme of Leading Talent Training in Basic Sciences (Boling Program, named after the founding President of Nankai University, Mr. Zhang Boling), Inter-disciplinary Talent Training Programs, and College specialty Programs and Sino-foreign joint education programs. The Boling Program covers five disciplines of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and economics. For the Inter-disciplinary Talent Training Programs, there are three pilot schemes covering the disciplines of Economics, business administration, law, political science, philosophy, history, etc.
Program on Economics, Management and Laws, Pilot Scheme on Philosophy, Politics and Economics, and Pilot Scheme Combining Liberal Disciplines and a less commonly taught Language Major. X refers to some college specialty Education programs and Sino-foreign joint education programs covering the disciplines of pharmacy, artificial intelligence, computer science, urban management, materials science, finance, environmental health and optoelectronics.
Promoting the use of English as medium of instruction (EMI) for academic subjects offered by our university. EMI has been implemented for undergraduate courses in Business schools, Medical schools, and Chinese Language and Culture College. Now we will focus on the implementation of EMI courses for disciplines included in the "Double First-Class" initiative.

Achievements in scientific and technological innovation
Significant progress has been made as scientific research at NKU becomes more oriented towards the cutting-edge research fields and meeting the real demand.
In the past 2 years, a research team led by Professor Chen Yongsheng has made a major breakthrough using organic and solution-processed tandem solar cells to set a record of 17.3% in the conversion efficiency. Their work is published as ‘Organic and solution-processed tandem solar cells with 17.3% efficiency‘ in Science journal, available online.
Professor Chen Yongsheng and his team published their work in Science journal as “Organic and solution-processed tandem solar cells with 17.3% efficiency” in 2018
Academician Professor Zhou Qilin developed a new chiral ligand and catalyst to raise the efficiency and selectivity of chiral synthesis to a new height, an outstanding contribution to synthetic chemistry. He himself won the "Physical Science Award" of the 2018 "Future Science Prize", also known as China’s version of Nobel Prize.
Academician Professor Zhang Weiping's paper "Positive Scalar curvature on foliations" was published in the world's leading mathematics journal, Annals of Mathematics.
