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.
据悉，坐落于中国西北部陕西省省会西安的西北政法大学即将组建反恐学院。
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.
周二，负责管理新学院建立的张金平教授对环球时报表示，该学院将招收校内大一、大二两个年级的本科生，此外，硕士研究生的数量为每年30人以上，博士生则为每年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.
反恐学院本科班的首届招生准备工作已经展开。该校此前已开展了反恐专业硕士生和博士生的培养。
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.
张金平表示，学生们将会参加包括法律学、民族学、政治学、社会学等在内的多门传统学科专业课程。此外，为了培养跨学科能力，学生还将学习反恐怖专业课程。
"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.
张金平教授指出，由于中国仍面临许多恐怖袭击的威胁，所以“组建反恐学院是对国家对反恐专家的需求做出的回应。”
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.
据悉，这并不是国内高校第一次成立反恐专业。2014年，中国北京的人民公安大学将已经将公安情报部门扩展为一个反恐学院。
