What is the employment prospect of astronomy major?

The employment prospect of astronomy major is quite good.

After graduating from astronomy, there are generally two choices, postgraduate entrance examination and employment. Postgraduate entrance examination direction: students who are interested in astronomical research can continue to study in China or study abroad and join the scientific career in the future; Employment orientation: Astronomy is an interdisciplinary subject with aerospace, geodesy, national defense and other applied disciplines. After graduation, you can show your talents in these fields.

It is understood that there are not many universities offering astronomy at undergraduate level in China at present, only a few universities such as Nanjing University, Peking University, China University of Science and Technology, Beijing Normal University and Guangzhou University, and most of them are masters and students engaged in research in this field. It can be said that astronomy is a subject that needs long-term research and has a solid scientific foundation.

As a pure theoretical major, the employment of undergraduates is very narrow, but graduate students will be more popular in the future, and with the increase of domestic investment in basic research such as astronomy, the future development prospects in the field of astronomy are very good.

The employment rate of this major is very high. Graduates are mainly engaged in scientific research, teaching and technical work in astronomy and related disciplines. They can also choose to go to aerospace, aviation, national defense and other departments, or engage in astronomical popularization education in planetariums and schools.

Matters needing attention in astronomy major:

Astronomy, as a hobby, can add a lot of fun to life, but once it becomes a major, the romantic fantasy about the starry sky becomes a difficult course such as mathematics, physics and computer. Learning astronomy requires a good foundation in physics and mathematics.

Those with the following diseases or physical defects should not apply: color blindness; Can not accurately identify red, yellow, green, blue and purple lines, letters, numbers, geometric figures and signal lights.

The main courses of university study are: college mathematics, college physics, theoretical mechanics, mathematical physics methods, electrodynamics, general astronomy, solid astrophysics, stellar physics foundation, introduction to computational astronomy, etc.
