This paper deeply analyzes the practical experience and enlightenment of the power list system of university governance in foreign countries. Taking the United States, Britain and Germany as typical cases, it discusses its effectiveness in clarifying the boundaries of power, promoting the transparency of decision-making and guaranteeing academic freedom. The research shows that by establishing and improving the power list system, these countries have effectively improved the efficiency of university governance, and promoted the double improvement of scientific research output and teaching quality. Drawing on the international advanced experience, Chinese universities should base on the national conditions, establish and improve the power list system in line with their own characteristics, strengthen the internal and external supervision mechanism, and promote the modernization of the governance system, in order to cope with the challenges and opportunities in the context of higher education internationalization.
