Abstract

Industry-featured universities play a crucial role in China's higher education sector and have made significant contributions to industry development and socio-economic construction. In the context of building a strong educational nation, enhancing the development of philosophy and social sciences is crucial for promoting comprehensive student development, meeting national strategic needs, and building a learning society. This article proposes suggestions for strengthening the construction of philosophy and social sciences in industrial characteristic universities through case studies of the development of philosophy and social sciences in well-known universities at home and abroad. Industry-featured universities should leverage their advantages by focusing on four aspects: enhancing the construction of the humanities institutes, developing a general education curriculum system, building new-type think tanks, and promoting high-quality development in continuing education.
