On October 22, the Nanjing Integrated Circuit University, China's first university dedicated to the training of integrated circuit talent, was officially established in Nanjing.

The university is not a traditional one, but more like an open platform to connect universities and companies, an important supplement to university education, and an important source of talent for enterprises.

Compared to other universities, Nanjing Integrated Circuit University is different in terms of building body, orientation, student source, faculty, curriculum, and graduation certificate.

Nanjing Integrated Circuit University is not organized by the Chinese Ministry of Education or the provincial or municipal education authorities, but by the Jiangbei New District Administrative Committee in response to the needs of local industrial development.

Unlike other universities, which are academically oriented and focus on the transfer of theoretical knowledge, this university is a talent cultivation organization, which is skill-oriented and focuses on practical training and teaching, cultivating industrial talents with practical abilities and professional skills.

The students of the school are no longer high school students who enter the school through university entrance examinations, but students with basic professional knowledge from colleges and universities, interdisciplinary students who are interested in working on integrated circuits, and junior staff recruited from enterprises who are still in the training period.


The teachers here come more from senior engineers, domestic and foreign industry experts and universities with high academic level.

The course is not like the standardized curriculum approved by the education department, but rather is personalized, based on students' weaknesses and the job skills demanded by enterprises, and the final certificate obtained by students is the certificate of completion after practical assessment and certification.

Great. The blind race for accademic decoration is poison. You cant build a nation on the back of intellectuals
philosophizing about the theroretical impact of replacing the cat in a box with a sponge and a nation can only afford and employ so much of them. In reality only a small part of the population is even suited for that job anyways so trying to shoehorn everyone on this role forever just to pump out adequate numbers is ridiculous. I hope the industry is properly recognizing, supporting and adopting these professionals as well.

this is more like a boot camp for people who have already been academically trained with degrees. it does not replace a traditional degree.

This won't help with development of EUV machine which requires high levels of physics and math
