What is the examination direction of biological science? Employment prospects?

Now so many people ask this question! Let me answer again:

At present, there are two directions for biology postgraduate entrance examination: one is a professional master who has learned a skill, such as tissue culture, protein omics, high performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry and other instrument operations. Now the country is vigorously promoting the development of this kind of master's degree, and it is relatively simple to find a job in a company or scientific research unit after graduation;

The second type is research-oriented master, which generally aims at training scientists and requires master's and doctoral degrees. However, you have to be a postdoctoral fellow after graduation. The road ahead is hard and the elimination rate is high. First of all, you should be clear about your goal!

For the institutions applying for the exam, the Chinese Academy of Sciences system, especially those in Shanghai and Beijing, is recommended first, because the research level is relatively high, generally at public expense, and the monthly supplement is also high, so you can temporarily study experiments without worrying about your life. Don't apply for those colleges that train professional masters. They are research-oriented (note that many universities are like this now! ! ! The transformation has not been completed), otherwise you can neither engage in scientific research nor find a suitable job after graduation.

As for the major, I think you should see your tutor first. Every major has tutors, and each institution has different advantages. Finding a good tutor is of great help to your future. In biology, major is relatively unimportant because the division is vague.

If you have to propose a good major, I personally think it is bioinformatics, because it is more inclined to mathematics and more inclined to scientists than experimenters, hehe. Moreover, the salary of bioinformatics in the United States is generally higher!
