Studying one major and attending two universities has finally become a reality in Guangdong. On May 31, Guangdong Medical University and Dongguan University of Technology officially "married" to jointly build a medical engineering integration joint innovation institute and Songshan Lake medical engineering integration innovation center, and "launched" the first three joint bachelor's degree programs in Guangdong: "Pharmacy+Applied Chemistry", "Pharmacy+Materials Science and Engineering", "Electronic Information Engineering+Intelligent Medical Engineering". Three joint bachelor's degree programs have been officially approved by the Guangdong Provincial Academic Degrees Committee, and enrollment will begin this year through the independent code of the regular college entrance examination. Each major will enroll 60 people, totaling 180 people. The first batch of joint bachelor's degree enrollment plans. Why are the two universities "getting married"? How will the first batch of joint bachelor's degree programs in Guangdong cultivate interdisciplinary talents across universities, majors, and industries? I "Let's unveil the 'red carpet' together!" When we inaugurated the Joint Innovation Institute for Medical and Industrial Integration and the Songshan Lake Medical and Industrial Integration Innovation Center together with Lu Jinghui, secretary of the Party Committee and president of Guangdong Medical University, Ma Hongwei, president of Dongguan University of Technology, drew a burst of applause and laughter with a witty remark. The Joint Innovation College of Medical and Industrial Integration and the Songshan Lake Medical and Industrial Integration Innovation Center have been unveiled. Under the traction of the red silk ribbon, four plaques were exposed behind the red curtain. Careful people can find that there is a slight difference between the plaques: the school logo of Guangdong Medical University is in front of the two plaques; The other two plaques are the school logo of Dongguan University of Technology in front. We will add another spark to the construction of the Songshan Lake Science City, a pilot area for the comprehensive national science center in the Greater Bay Area, "said Lu Jinghui. This intercollegiate cooperation on medical and industrial integration is the first in Guangdong to establish a joint degree training program for higher education. Guangdong Medicine and Dongguan University of Technology are adjacent, with natural cooperation conditions and good complementarity of disciplines and majors. We will work together to open up channels for inter school cooperation in education, technology, and talent, providing reform exploration and reference for the development of new medical and engineering disciplines in the country and Guangdong. ▲ Dongguan Campus of Guangdong Medical University. "We have thought for three years about the pioneering work of launching a joint bachelor's degree program." Ma Hongwei said that after the COVID-19, they were more aware of the importance of engineering education serving medical education, and began to think about the integration of new engineering and new medical disciplines. Ma Hongwei noticed that the door to innovative cultivation of composite talents has quietly opened - as early as July 2019, the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council issued the "Management Measures for Authorization and Award of Bachelor's Degrees", which clearly stated that for joint training projects of composite talents officially launched between universities, joint bachelor's degrees can be adopted to promote high-quality resource sharing. Two years later, the Guangdong Provincial Academic Degrees Committee also issued the "Implementation Rules for the Authorization and Granting Management of Bachelor's Degrees in Guangdong Province", further clarifying that regular higher education institutions with the right to grant bachelor's degrees can grant full-time undergraduate graduates joint bachelor's degrees. The joint bachelor's degree is a new trend in the establishment of majors in universities, and has also become a new driving force for interdisciplinary integration and the cultivation of versatile talents.
