西北政法大學即將組建反恐學院

Northwest University of Political Science and Law in Xi'an, capital of Northwest China's Shaanxi Province, is establishing a new school specializing in anti-terrorism.

據悉，坐落於中國西北部陝西省省會西安的西北政法大學即將組建反恐學院。

Each year, the school will enroll two classes of undergraduate students from the university's freshman and sophomore classes in addition to more than 36 postgraduate students from across the nation, including at least six doctoral students, Zhang Jinping, who is managing the establishment of the new school, told the Global Times on Wednesday.

週二，負責管理新學院建立的張金平教授對環球時報表示，該學院將招收校內大一、大二兩個年級的本科生，此外，碩士研究生的數量爲每年30人以上，博士生則爲每年6名以上。

Enrollment of the first class of undergraduate students is now underway. The university has already set up doctoral and master's programs in anti-terrorism.

反恐學院本科班的首屆招生準備工作已經展開。該校此前已開展了反恐專業碩士生和博士生的培養。

Zhang said that students will be required to take courses in conventional disciplines such as law, religion, politics and sociology in addition to anti-terrorism courses, adding that the purpose is to cultivate interdisciplinary competency.

張金平表示，學生們將會參加包括法律學、民族學、政治學、社會學等在內的多門傳統學科專業課程。此外，爲了培養跨學科能力，學生還將學習反恐怖專業課程。

"The school of anti-terrorism is being founded to respond to the country's demand for anti-terrorism specialists," said the professor, who noted that China is still facing severe threats of terrorism.

張金平教授指出，由於中國仍面臨許多恐怖襲擊的威脅，所以“組建反恐學院是對國家對反恐專家的需求做出的迴應。”

The university is, in fact, not the first in China to set up an anti-terrorism school. In 2014, the People's Public Security University of China in Beijing expanded its department of public security intelligence into an counter-terrorism college.

據悉，這並不是國內高校第一次成立反恐專業。2014年，中國北京的人民公安大學將已經將公安情報部門擴展爲一個反恐學院。
