do not misunderstand me.
My point is that u only can use ranking as reference. I only used Rug as an example to show Dutch universities reputations because I know it well and I believe other Dutch universities have almost the same situation. if it is not good, can u expect that cornell keeps exchange program with it for ten years? at least , good US universities do not set up cooperation relationship so easily with oversea Universities.
Tinbergen, "most impact european universities",
Do not use them as examples, they are among tops and rare, not everyboday can enter. otherwise, u 'd better mention Harvard. compared to it, most universities in the world are bullshit. u should know , how difficult to rank top 50 in the world in any field?
"一个学校连简单的英文网站都做不好,还能说这个学校多重视国际化吗?看UM UvA等学校英文网站的信息量,rug可以汗颜了".
some other Dutch universities also have this problem. but this does not mean they do not care about internationalization. u see, these were few english programs for foreigners. for exchange students, they can get information from their host universities. so, they do not put much efforts on websites. after all , Holland is not an english-speaking country.
if Rug has a exchange relationship with cornell, also other good universities(such as, Mcgill, austrialian national university, uni of Tokyo, osaka university, bristol, brown university, beida and Fudan) how could we say that it is bad at internationalization?( Rug's biology department has not much information on its website as well, but it has exchange program with Harvard. Can we say its internationalization is bad?)
to be honest, Dutch universities do not pay much attention to developing countries. they do not have to. in fact, they have built reputation in and kept cooperation relationship with developed counties. they do not focus on China and do not have to suit Chinese students' needs.
and most importantly, how Dutch students and people evalue these universities? and why?
how Dutch students choose universities, take economics or manamgent as example, how Dutch universities select students? what is Dutch national p-olicy to enter an university?
in sum, Dutch universities were set up for Dutch people. we'd better know how Dutch think of them. |
