At present, 39 universities, including Tsinghua University, Peking University and Renmin University of China, have released their enrollment brochures for the 2025 strong foundation plan. Reporters have found that many universities this year have not only continued the enrollment trend of flagship majors in their enrollment majors and plans, but also added new training directions mostly focused on serving the country's strategic emerging fields, further reserving high-level talents urgently needed by the country. In addition, some universities have downplayed the requirements for competition scores in this year's enrollment brochure, and even cancelled the second category of registration requirements for "winning the second prize or above in the national finals of any subject Olympic competition in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, or informatics in high school", using college entrance examination scores as an important reference standard. In terms of the method of breaking the rules for admission, the method of "breaking the rules for admission" still exists for individual subject scores, but some schools have further refined the rules for breaking the rules for admission. In terms of training methods, pilot universities generally adopt mentorship, small class sizes, personalized training, and other methods to provide students with first-class teaching conditions and scientific research resources. It is reported that this year marks the sixth year of the implementation of the Strong Foundation Plan, which aims to connect new training directions with the forefront areas of national strategy. At present, there are 39 pilot universities recruiting students in basic disciplines such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, mechanics, history, philosophy, paleography, basic medicine, as well as major national strategic fields such as biological breeding. In 2025, several universities will add training directions that are closely related to their advantageous disciplines in the Strong Foundation Plan. According to the enrollment brochure of the 2025 Strong Foundation Plan released by Beijing Institute of Technology, the plan will add three new directions this year, including polymer materials and engineering, mathematics (intelligent science direction), and physics (electronic science direction). All rely on the construction of advantageous disciplines in the school, with the aim of cultivating basic research talents that meet the needs of national development strategies. ”Wang Haoyu, Executive Deputy Director of the Admissions Office of Beijing Institute of Technology, mentioned. The newly added training directions in the Strong Foundation Plan of Beijing Institute of Technology this year are clearly aligned with the forefront of national strategy and closely follow the new round of technological development. Wang Haoyu introduced that the training direction of mathematics (intelligent science) is trained by the School of Automation, focusing on the cultivation of top talents in the field of robotics. Physics (Electronic Science) is trained by the School of Integrated Circuits at the university, focusing on cultivating top talents in the field of chips. The enrollment brochure of the school's 2025 Strong Foundation Plan shows that the training program of the School of Automation is aimed at the forefront of intelligent science and technology development, cultivating leading talents in intelligent robot innovation and entrepreneurship who can meet the dual needs of "hardcore" technology and industrial development. Graduates can pursue careers in intelligent technology fields such as humanoid robots, embodied intelligence, autonomous driving, and intelligent manufacturing. This trend can also be clearly seen in the enrollment brochure of the 2025 Strong Foundation Plan at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, which has added two new training directions: "Information and Computational Science" and "Mathematical Basic Science". Lin Peng, Director of the Admissions Office of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, introduced that the two newly added training directions have leveraged the disciplinary advantages of the university. Among them, "Information and Computational Science" relies on the disciplinary advantages of the School of Computer Science and Engineering (School of Cyberspace Security) in fields such as artificial intelligence and electronic information. Combining the accumulation of electronic information disciplines in the school, "Mathematical Basic Science" is led by the School of Integrated Circuit Science and Engineering, focusing on the main line of "materials devices circuits chips", to solve the "bottleneck" technical problems in integrated circuit design and process manufacturing. The new direction aims at urgently needed fields such as artificial intelligence and integrated circuits in the country. ”Lin Peng mentioned that "Information and Computing Science" focuses on the forefront of artificial intelligence development and reserves talents for the country's major strategic needs in intelligent science, cutting-edge computing, information and communication, national security, and other fields. The cultivation of "Mathematical Basic Science" cultivates top-notch innovative talents who can lead the future development of the integrated circuit industry and technology, and be able to cope with the challenges of future technological changes. Similarly, Liu Rui, director of the admissions office at Beihang University, introduced that "Beihang University's 2025 Strong Foundation Plan has added four new professional directions, including aerospace materials and aircraft manufacturing engineering under the aerospace category, electronic science under applied physics, and quantum information under measurement and control technology and instrumentation. The total plan has increased the enrollment quota by 50 people When asked why these four new majors were added for enrollment and training, Liu Rui responded, "Mainly oriented towards the country. The major layout of the school's strong foundation plan is first oriented towards basic disciplines, followed by key areas, especially the aerospace field with characteristics of Beihang University. For example, the electronic science direction under the newly added applied physics major this year is oriented towards the integrated circuit and microelectronics fields, solving the bottleneck problems of chips and other fields." In addition, Dalian University of Technology's 2025 strong foundation plan has added the "Information and Computational Science" major. This major is a national first-class undergraduate major construction site and a "first-class characteristic major construction site" in higher education institutions nationwide, cultivating talents with both mathematics and computer science knowledge; Wuhan University's Mathematics and Applied Mathematics major has added an intelligent science training program (direction), relying on the training of the School of Artificial Intelligence. Some universities have downplayed the competition results and refined the rules for breaking the rules for qualifying. Journalists have found that some universities have cancelled the second category of candidates with outstanding competition results in the "Enrollment Objects and Registration Conditions" section of the 2025 Strong Foundation Plan enrollment brochure. As explicitly stated in the enrollment brochure of Chongqing University's 2024 Strong Foundation Plan, the second category of "candidates with outstanding talents and performance in related disciplines" can apply. The specific requirement is that "in high school, they must win the second prize or above in the national finals of any subject Olympic competition in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, or informatics". And this registration requirement has been removed from the enrollment brochure of the 2025 Strong Foundation Plan, only for candidates who have excellent college entrance examination scores and comprehensive qualities. Dalian University of Technology and Beihang University have also cancelled the eligibility criteria for silver or higher awards in five major academic competitions. In the enrollment brochure of the 2025 Strong Foundation Plan of Beihang University, it is clearly stated that the enrollment targets are "candidates with excellent college entrance examination results, solid professional foundation, outstanding innovation ability and comprehensive quality". In addition, some universities have further refined the rules for exceptional individual subject performance in the "college entrance examination weighted scores". Compared to last year, Huazhong University of Science and Technology has specified in the 2025 Strong Foundation Plan Enrollment Brochure that "Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, Biological Sciences majors require a single subject score of 145 or above in the college entrance examination mathematics; Physics majors require a single subject score of full marks in the college entrance examination physics; Chemistry and Basic Medicine majors require a single subject score of 98% or above in the college entrance examination chemistry In addition, Tianjin University proposed in the enrollment brochure of the 2025 Strong Foundation Plan that "Mathematics and Applied Mathematics majors and Engineering Mechanics majors require mathematics subject scores of not less than 145 points", "Applied Chemistry majors, Biological Sciences majors, and Synthetic Biology majors require chemistry subject scores of not less than 97 points (Shanghai requires 70 points)", "Applied Physics majors and Energy and Power Engineering majors require physics subject scores of not less than 97 points (Shanghai requires 70 points)". Tianjin University has always attached great importance to the cultivation of top-notch innovative talents. Based on the characteristics of talent cultivation in basic disciplines, it will further clarify the selection criteria and optimize the selection plan in the 2025 Strong Foundation Plan enrollment, focusing on the selection of students' disciplinary potential and innovation ability. ”Li Lei, Director of the Admissions Office of Tianjin University, said. At the same time, Li Lei believes that by strengthening the examination of students' college entrance examination subject scores that are closely related to the majors they are applying for, and exploring ways for talented students with particularly excellent single subject scores to break through the school entrance examination process, "we can strive for more opportunities for ambitious, interested, and talented students to enter Tianjin University for study, and more accurately deliver reserve talents for major strategic areas of the country. In addition, Central South University has improved its campus examination evaluation system, conducting interviews and assessments on candidates in five aspects: scientific thinking, innovative imagination, civic qualities, humanistic literacy, and disciplinary expertise. Zou Bin, director of the undergraduate admissions office of Central South University, told reporters that this innovative school entrance examination measure has been established since the implementation of the Strong Foundation Plan, "including assessments in five aspects including civic and humanistic qualities, in order to select well-rounded talents. It is reported that the first two batches of students who adopted the "one system, three modernizations" training mode successfully completed the transition and connection. Relevant universities of the Strong Foundation Plan focus on tailoring growth paths for students, highlighting the integration of industry and education, and the integration of science and education through guidance from academic masters, support from scientific research platforms, and training projects. They create a professional module curriculum system and academic training system for the connection between undergraduate and graduate studies, and build a comprehensive and long-term research ability training pattern for students, helping them explore their unique ecological niche in the big ecology of basic research. The reporter reviewed the enrollment brochures of several universities such as Beihang University and Harbin Institute of Technology for the 2025 Strong Foundation Plan and found that they all mentioned the "one system, three modernizations" talent training model of mentorship, small class teaching, personalization, and internationalization, and set up multiple training methods and dual degree joint training models in some of the majors recruited by the Strong Foundation Plan. Chen Lin, Director of the Admissions Office of Nanjing University, introduced that "the enrollment majors and subject categories of Nanjing University's Strong Foundation Plan are relatively comprehensive." Among them, the humanities include three majors: philosophy, history, and Chinese language and literature (ancient Chinese characters); Science includes five majors: Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, Information and Computational Science, Physics, Chemistry, and Biological Sciences. Among them, the major of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics includes two sets of training programs: Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, and Intelligent Science, which are respectively trained by the School of Mathematics and the School of Artificial Intelligence; The physics major has three training programs: physics, astrophysics, and electronic science, which are respectively supported by the School of Physics, the School of Astronomy and Space Sciences, and the School of Integrated Circuits. Different training programs focus on their respective colleges. For example, in the electronic science training program for physics majors, candidates are trained in Nanjing and Suzhou after entering the school, "said Chen Lin. It is reported that in order to achieve personalized training for students in the Strong Foundation Plan, "specifically, each student can choose a project that they are interested in. Based on a series of precise project-based courses and innovation and entrepreneurship training plans for freshmen, a high-level scientific research training system for undergraduate students is constructed to cultivate the scientific spirit and thinking of strong foundation students," said Chen Lin. Liu Rui also introduced that Beihang University adopts a small class training mode for students in the Strong Foundation Plan, focusing on the synergistic role of "industry university research application" in educating students. He said, "According to the regular college entrance examination enrollment, Beihang University is a category based enrollment, and first needs to undergo one year of category based training before choosing a major; while students in the Strong Foundation Plan can directly enter the corresponding professional college for study as soon as they enter the university." In the Strong Foundation Plan of Nanjing University, some students can participate in graduate courses at the undergraduate level, adopting a "3+1+X" talent training model. Chen Lin explained that "1" refers to the transitional stage of undergraduate studies, where students who meet the requirements for graduate transfer can apply to enter the transitional stage for learning in the first semester of their senior year; X "can be at the master's level or a direct PhD. It is reported that the Strong Foundation Plan has selected a group of students with excellent comprehensive qualities or top-notch basic disciplines to serve the major strategic needs of the country. The first and second batches of strong foundation students admitted in 2020 and 2021 have successfully completed the transition from undergraduate to graduate school. Among them
