5% Students Love Business.

Statistics from intermediary schools in Guangzhou City show that Xie The majors favored by students studying abroad are still dominated by commerce, accounting for 75%. Engineering and media, which belong to traditional popular specialties, continue to be hot. What is different from the past is that more and more students and parents are aware of the limitations of single professional employment and begin to apply for some foreign universities' bio composite subjects.

Three popular specialties

Continued hot

The past study abroad shows that the media in business, engineering and Humanities and Social Sciences belong to the three traditional hot professional categories. These three categories belong to three broad categories, not detailed ones. For example, business can include actuaries, financial engineering, accounting, MBA, logistics management and so on. Engineering will usually be translated into engineering, including computers, machinery, civil engineering, electronic engineering, electrical engineering and so on. Media in narrow sense include Journalism and media science, with different emphasis. Journalism mainly focuses on news itself, and the media focuses more on the dissemination process of news or entities.

There is one thing in common between these three categories: Education at home and abroad is not too skipping and easy to link up, and all of them belong to the specialty of "one skill". Some students and parents who are blinded by studying abroad are puzzled by their professional choices, and often follow the trend to these three majors.

Because they need to be matched with the selected majors, the majors who study abroad are mainly maritime law, education, translation and so on.

Compound discipline

Growing concern

" department of commerce After graduating from abroad, there is a strong demand for social skills and connections, and not so good jobs. More and more students and parents are beginning to pay attention to some professional and skillful interdisciplinary subjects. Wang Xiaoyu, director of economic and trade study abroad, said that the recent trend of studying abroad has reflected that the blindness of students studying abroad has been greatly reduced, and the study abroad has become more rational.

Wang Xiaoyu said that many foreign universities pay attention to professional interdisciplinary in the professional curriculum setting, so that students can master two professional knowledge when they graduate. For example, Canada's mathematics and engineering management, mathematics and financial analysis, the two professional practice courses are very famous; the school of Arts and Sciences recommended that students majoring in 2 major courses during the period of student enrollment, all in order to make more choices in the student employment.

Wang Xiaoyu told reporters that there was an undergraduate student studying finance in England. His master's degree was in finance and computer science. Executives like him commented: "he is an interdisciplinary subject and is a bridge for us to connect to two different professional teams. That's why we hired him."

Choosing new majors

Weakening competition

Business, engineering, and media are major items of study abroad each year. There are many people who get together and compete fiercely. In order to avoid competition, in recent years, a number of newly emerging students studying abroad have come into view of many people.

Kim Chi Lai consulting experts said that now 90 students will choose their favorite subjects when they study abroad. Because of the public's concern about food safety, organic farming and organic food are also popular now. The popularity of online games has made computer game design a hot topic of concern. Especially for some boys, they not only like to play, but also want to make a game of their own. In addition, as the environment is getting more and more attention, social and environmental specialties are also added to the new professional ranks.

In addition, some relatively small and distinctive specialties have begun to attract the attention of students. Feng Hui, a consultant to study abroad, said that, like New Zealand's kindergarten teacher, Spin The number of people concerned with design, art, Canadian mining and Exhibition Management in the United States is increasing. "These professions are relatively unpopular, but because of the characteristics of different countries and the demand for talents, the employment prospects are very good."

　 Tips

Three factors should be considered.

What should we pay attention to when choosing a major? Xing Hong, a senior expert in Chinese studies, suggested that students should consider three factors.

First of all, your interests and expertise. If you have identified your interests and expertise, do not hesitate to choose it. Because this is where you accompany your life, and it determines whether you will really make a difference in the field of your chosen profession.

Next is the continuation of further education. For those who study abroad, they may consider continuing to apply for master's degree or doctorate.

Finally, we should look at employment prospects and career planning. If you haven't identified your interests yet, you might as well choose the hottest and better jobs. After that, I have identified my interests and expertise, and then I can change my major into practice. Countries such as the United States, Britain, Australia and Canada are very easy to change their majors, and schools usually have time for students to identify their own majors. In general, freshmen and sophomores are general education courses. If you still haven't found your interest, please choose a good job.

Suggestions

First, look at your personal interests.

Second, look at the employment environment.

What kind of professional planning should the overseas students do? There seems to be a huge risk in choosing the major of studying abroad, and the great risk of "one step is wrong and the whole game is lost". For this reason, Gan Bing, the education director of Australia Overseas Consulting Co. Ltd., has given many practical suggestions to help foreign students and their parents untie doubts and entanglements.

　 Science and engineering is not easy.

"For some of the high school students, they have already made clear their professional interest before studying abroad. For this part of the students, what I want to say is to persist and respect their choices. However, for most students, they do not have such a clear and determined intention, they really need advice. Gan Bing said that for students who did not have a firm and persistent intention, he suggested that he should try to choose science and engineering majors when he was studying abroad, because such majors would be better employed in the future. From the actual situation, the students studying science and engineering are also the most.

"However, science and engineering majors in foreign universities are not easy to learn. Some overseas students may feel heavy in learning. Therefore, roughly estimated, about 10% of overseas students majoring in science and engineering can not get a degree. Relatively speaking, it is easier to get a degree in Arts and business." Gan Bing introduced, in addition, elective science and engineering tuition is also more expensive. In Canada's first-class universities, the annual tuition fee of science and engineering is between 160 thousand ~18 yuan.

　　 Liberal arts employment space is small

"Unless students have strong interest in language, literature, politics, history and other disciplines, I would not recommend foreign students to choose liberal arts majors. Therefore, relatively speaking, these professions will not be easy to obtain employment in the future, or when they are employed, they will have less choice. " Gan Ping said frankly, compared with foreign students, the tuition fees for liberal arts majors are relatively low, and Canada's top universities are still taking the example. The annual tuition fee for liberal arts is around 150 thousand.

"For junior high school students, we should pay attention to developing interest, do not deliberately make professional planning, and do not think too early about the future employment problem." Gan Bing believes that junior high school students should pay attention to developing their interests and hobbies, fully recognizing the local culture and society, and then developing them instead of forcing them. After all, that age is the age to do what one likes.

　 Business transformation is more difficult.

The so-called professional planning for studying abroad includes a certain sense of transformation and adjustment. In this regard, Gan Bing reminded: "after going abroad, they are basically public courses, that is, compulsory courses. After the sophomore year, they can choose majors according to their hobbies and abilities, and there will still be a major problem in the future. We must pay attention to this: students of Liberal Arts can not transfer to science and engineering majors, and can only turn to business studies. Similarly, science students can not turn to liberal arts majors, and they can only turn to commerce; but business students are basically unable to transfer.

According to Gan Bing, the so-called business, including accounting, Finance In recent years, there has been a surplus of overseas students in business studies, and employment pressure has been relatively large. "Besides, business tuition is also the highest. Taking Canada's top universities as an example, the tuition fee of one year's business is 180 thousand ~19.2." Gan Bing said. Reporter Qu Jiayi
