Tsinghua University, a university directly under the Ministry of Education, ranked second in the second round of the Alumni Association's "Double First-Class" University Rankings, and the first place was Peking University. Many people have a stereotype of Tsinghua University, believing that tsinghua has many international students going out, and many do not return to China after completing their studies.
In the past four years, the number of students studying in the United States at Tsinghua University has dropped sharply.
Tsinghua University's 2021 graduate employment quality report shows that there are 409 undergraduate students, 108 master's students and 0 doctoral students who study abroad. Of the 517, 228 went to the United States for further study, 91 went to the United Kingdom, and 50 went to Singapore.
In 2020, a total of 674 people from Tsinghua went abroad to study abroad, including 459 undergraduates, 134 masters, and 81 doctors. The top three places to study abroad are 361 in the United States, 99 in the United Kingdom, and 33 in Hong Kong, China.
In 2019, there were a total of 1,035 students, including 699 undergraduates, 137 master's students, and 199 doctoral students. 692 people went to the United States for further study, followed by the United Kingdom and Hong Kong.
In 2018, a total of 796 Tsinghua graduates studied in the United States.
Combining the data of the past four years, we can draw the following conclusions: Tsinghua's overseas (inbound) students are decreasing year by year, the number of students studying in the United States is also decreasing year by year, the number of people going to Hong Kong is also decreasing, the number of people going to Singapore is increasing, and more and more doctoral students are directly employed after graduation.
Let's take a look at other universities studying in the United States.
Like Sichuan University, a total of 978 graduates from the class of 2021 studied abroad, including 246 to the United Kingdom, 203 to the United States, and 151 to Hong Kong, China.
Like Shanghai Jiao Tong University, there are 724 people studying in the university headquarters, including 383 in the United States, followed by 74 people studying in the United Kingdom and 69 people studying in Hong Kong. The total number of people studying abroad and the number of people studying in the United States are 800 and 576 in 2020, respectively, and 1034 and 657 in 2019.
This shows that many famous universities study abroad and the number of people studying in the United States are similar, and as for those who return to China, there is no accurate data. For some reason, everyone has particularly high expectations of Tsinghua students. Of course, we definitely hope that the famous universities on the mainland can cultivate top talents, and these talents can use what they have learned to build their own countries.
There is a question in Zhihu: how do you think that nearly 20,000 Tsinghua students do not return to China after graduation, but choose to stay in Silicon Valley? Nearly 20,000 people, talking about the 30 years from 1978 to 2015, of course, is limited to Silicon Valley.
After reading the answers written by many people with their own personal experience and personal experience, it can be summed up in two words: room, people. It goes without saying, not to say broken, it is very realistic, very cruel, of course, they and we, all love their motherland.
Therefore, there is a certain reason why some people in the front hope that the new president of Tsinghua can retain talents, and people do not want to break the road and do not want to say deeply.
There are also many people who hope that Wang Shuguo, president of Xi'an Jiaotong University, Zheng Qiang, who once worked at Zhejiang University and is now at Taiyuan University of Technology, and Shi Yigong, who used to work at Tsinghua University and is now the president of West Lake University, can become the president of Tsinghua University.
An ordinary netizen said that many people with ideals and abilities are willing to contribute to the development of the country, and I hope to be like them! This should also be the wish and wish of the vast majority of outstanding young students.
