浅析北大清华与世界一流大学的差距

Analysis of the Gap Between Peking & Tsinghua Universities and the World-Class Universities

"985工程"实施以来,北大、清华获得国家更多的支持,与其他高校拉开差距,成为中国高等教育的排头兵和象征。目前,两校都在加快建设世界一流大学。但是,什么是世界一流大学,学术界没有定论。两校与世界一流大学的差距有多大,体现在什么方面,也并不明晰。从世界大学排名的视角,选取全球范围内认可度最高的《泰晤士高等教育》世界大学排名和QS世界大学排名为基本分析框架,以北大、清华与位居两项排名前20的世界一流大学进行对比分析,查找问题与差距,进而对两校创建世界一流大学提出若干建议。

Since the ＂985 Project＂, Peking University and Tsinghua University has obtained more support from the government, which makes them ahead of other Chinese universities and become pacesetters and symbols of Chinese higher education. At present, the two are speeding up the construction of the world first-class university. However the academic circles have no conclusion about how to define the world-class university. Little is known about to what extent and in what respect Peking ~ Tsinghua uni- versities lag behind the world-class universities either. This article, from the perspective of world universi- ty rankings, selects worldwide recognized ＂Times Higher Education＂ world university rankings and the QS world university rankings as the basic analysis frame to observe the distribution of highly ranking universities across countries. Furthermore, it makes a comparative analysis between two Chinese top universities and world-class universities （top 20） in order to find the problems and gaps and put forward some suggestions on building world-class universities in China.
