The Central Propaganda Department and the Ministry of Education have clearly stated that "undergraduate majors in Marxist theory should be gradually added, and the system of training personnel for bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees should be perfected". The construction of undergraduate majors in Marxist theory is an important foundation for the cultivation of postgraduate students in the discipline of Marxist theory and the shaping of high-level Marxist theory talents. Next, the School of Marxism will seriously organise discussions, combine the opinions and suggestions of the evaluation expert group, continuously improve the professional declaration materials, enrich the content of the professional construction system, seize the opportunity of leapfrog development of disciplines and professions, and continuously open up a new situation of ideological and political theory education in the new era.
