Employment prospects of geography graduate students

The employment prospects of geography postgraduates are as follows:

1. Geographical science majors mainly study the resources and environment on the earth's surface and their relationship with social and economic development. With the development of human society and the accumulation of geographical knowledge, this subject has gradually become a subject to study natural and human phenomena on the earth's surface, as well as their relationship and regional differentiation. In short, it is a subject that studies the relationship between man and geography.

2. The major of geographical science is not as simple as everyone thinks. It needs to master the basic principles, knowledge and methods of physical geography and resources and environment, and understand the theoretical frontier, development status, application prospect and new development related to physical geography and resources and environment. After having the relevant knowledge of these majors, you also need to understand the national environmental protection, sustainable development strategy and other relevant policies and regulations.

3. As a major of university education, Geographic Information System (GIS) has appeared in many foreign universities since 1970s. However, at present, there are less than 140 universities offering this major in China, so the demand for senior talents engaged in GIS design and development is in short supply.

4. This major cultivates senior GIS professionals who have the basic knowledge and skills of geographic information science and cartography, can engage in scientific research or teaching in scientific research institutions or institutions of higher learning, and can engage in applied research, technology development, production management and administrative management related to geographic information systems in the fields of cities, regions, resources, environment, transportation, population, housing, land, infrastructure and planning management.
