Differences between different disciplines (Science)

This article mainly wants to talk about the basic situation of each classification of university subjects. As for the specific majors, I will not go into too much detail. After all, I have self-awareness and I will never be able to popularize specific majors. level of knowledge.

Introducing the differences in some subject categories is just to provide a little reference for some families and students who are not well-informed.

Of course, like the previous article, the subject of the narrative here is still an ordinary student from an ordinary family.

After all, the gap between those "skilled" and "talented" students and ordinary students is too huge. The older you get, the more you will know how hopeless the gap between ordinary people and the above two types of people is without the help of super luck.

Returning to the topic, it has been introduced before that as a domestic higher education institution, the university currently teaches a total of 13 subject categories. Except for the special subject: military science, the remaining 12 subject categories are two. Various science categories:

1. Natural sciences: science, engineering, medicine, agriculture;

2. Humanities and social sciences: literature, history, philosophy, economics, management , law, education, art.

If we look specifically at the number of majors, there will be more junior colleges than undergraduates, because perhaps in a certain major, undergraduate education is established as a major, while junior college is divided into multiple majors. But the general direction is the same.

So, let’s start with natural science.

As one of the three major fields of science, natural science, together with "social science" and "thinking science", is called the "three major fields of science". It is the study of organic or inorganic things and phenomena in nature. The object of science is the various types, states, properties and forms of motion of substances in nature (if you want to know the complete explanation of the term, you can directly search Baidu Encyclopedia).

Neo-Confucianism, one of the four disciplines, is the science that studies the basic laws of the material world.

There are 45 undergraduate majors this year (the following are for reference only):

1. 4 types of mathematics: mathematics and applied mathematics, information and computing science, basic mathematical science, Data calculation and application;

2. 6 types of physics: physics, applied physics, nuclear physics, acoustics, systems science and engineering, quantum information science;

3. 6 categories of chemistry: Chemistry, Applied Chemistry, Chemical Biology, Molecular Science and Engineering, Energy Chemistry, Chemical Measurement and Technology;

4. 1 category of astronomy: Astronomy;

5. 4 categories of geographical science: geographical science, physical geography and resources and environment, human geography and urban and rural planning, and geographical information science;

6. 3 categories of atmospheric science: atmospheric science, applied meteorology, meteorology Technology and Engineering;

7. 4 categories of marine science: Marine Science, Marine Technology, Marine Resources and Environment, Military Ocean;

8. 3 categories of Geophysics: Earth Physics, space science and technology, disaster prevention and mitigation science and engineering;

9. 4 types of geology: geology, geochemistry, earth information science and technology, and paleontology;

< p> 10. 6 categories of biological sciences: biological sciences, biotechnology, bioinformatics, ecology, integrative science, neuroscience;

11. 2 categories of psychology: psychology, applied psychology

12. Two types of statistics: statistics and applied statistics

Science has the widest coverage among all disciplines. Even though many tasks do not belong to the professional knowledge of science, they are just If it is relevant, then as a science graduate you still have the opportunity to engage in this job.

So in terms of work fields and corresponding job opportunities, science is the broadest discipline.

Of course, it is also because the coverage is so wide. Therefore, the number of students every year is also the largest. This has led to a current phenomenon:

The higher the city level, the higher the academic qualifications required for suitable jobs.

The most obvious one is the core of the "theory" category - basic disciplines: mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, earth science, totaling 6 basic disciplines (seventh Logic belongs to the discipline category of philosophy).

The suitable jobs in these corresponding fields are almost all based on a thorough competition of academic qualifications and talent.

Anyone who is not good at learning will either change majors or can only lower the expectations of the job and change from a scholar to an assistant.

Take the simplest example: biological sciences.

Many people are aware of the so-called "cloning technology" and "gene technology", which represent high-end, sophisticated, science fiction and status.

However, in the recruitment requirements for all laboratories, schools or companies involved in this type of work, almost all academic qualifications start with a Ph.D., and most first-class ones also require 985 for undergraduates, 985 for masters, and 985 for doctoral degrees.

This kind of three consecutive sections of 985 is also the academic requirement for many positions corresponding to basic sciences.

If it is an assistant position, although the above three consecutive 985 qualifications are not required, you still need a master's degree or above from Project 985 to be able to participate in the competition.

And even if you get in, you have to get your education first if you want to get promoted.

If it is only a second or ordinary one, and if you don’t want to be a middle school teacher, you can only apply for the next-level laboratory assistant.

This is also the worry for graduates of this major:

Obviously they studied a major that uses their brains, but after graduation, they basically can only choose between using their mouths and their hands. Disappointment is certain. of.

Mathematics, as the top subject in the professional disdain chain, is all about talent starting from advanced mathematics.

Therefore, except for primary school, junior high school, and high school teaching positions, the academic requirements for other mathematics-related jobs are the highest both at home and abroad.

In addition to basic subjects, the work span of other majors can be very wide. As long as the job can be related to the major, you may have the opportunity to successfully join.

Especially in the annual national examination, provincial examination, municipal examination and the examination of public institutions, for most of the positions, as long as the major is in the category of "Science", you can apply.

And there are some majors that have the highest employment rate in the country.

For example, atmospheric science is one of the majors with the highest employment rate in China.

This is a profession where talent is scarce. As long as you are not a junior college graduate, the employment rate for this type of major in a university with two or more degrees is basically over 95%.
