In 2020, Beijing Normal University will change majors, and freshmen will change majors and take entrance exams.

Discipline setting of Beijing Normal University: ** 12 category insists on elite education.

China has 13 discipline. In addition to the military, the discipline of Beijing Normal University 12 is relatively comprehensive in terms of discipline. As a national key high-level university, Beijing Normal University must shoulder the heavy responsibility of cultivating elites.

Moderator: Recently, the enrollment of Beijing Normal University is in full swing. What are the misunderstandings and problems of teachers and parents?

Yu Lihong: After a while, I will take the college entrance examination. After the college entrance examination, I will fill in my volunteers. When choosing, you must know yourself first, and then make a choice. Confidant is strength. A person's future scores, especially those of key institutions, depend on the gap between scores and key lines. Then there is what the students' hobbies are. Knowing each other is to know the strength and specialty of colleges and universities, and then make a comprehensive evaluation and choice after understanding these.

Moderator: Will there be such a situation? Parents will ask if the only major of Beijing Normal University is pedagogy. How do you explain this at this time?

Yu Lihong: When we are faced with parents' consultation, some parents do ask whether Beijing Normal University only trains teachers. Judging from the comprehensive and distinctive research-oriented high-level university that our school has formed today, parents' understanding is one-sided. Beijing Normal University, formerly known as the Shi Jing University Hall Demonstration Hall, used to focus on training teachers. However, after national key construction and conforming to the development trend of higher education in the world, it has realized the transformation from the original traditional normal university to a comprehensive and distinctive research university. Beijing Normal University has a certain influence in the world. Last year, QS, an international higher education institution, published the list of the top 300 universities in the world. Among them, Beijing Normal University was shortlisted, and only 8 mainland universities were shortlisted. Visible its strength is very strong. But also formed a comprehensive discipline layout. China has 13 discipline. In addition to the military, the discipline of Beijing Normal University 12 is relatively comprehensive in terms of discipline. For undergraduate majors, 14 of the 57 undergraduate majors are part-time demonstration students. Whether or not to be a teacher is a student's independent choice after entering school. If he wants to be a teacher, he should take some modular courses to teach teachers at school, and then apply for a teacher qualification certificate. So many career choices.

Moderator: In fact, parents should be very aware of this and may not be teachers in normal universities in the future.

Yu Lihong: Because the name of our school is Beijing Normal University, which used to be a tradition, some people always think that it only trains teachers, but today's Beijing Normal University is more than just training teachers from the subject setting to the professional layout I just mentioned. Whether to be a teacher is an independent choice.

Moderator: As a comprehensive university, what are the characteristics of talent training in our school?

Yu Lihong: First of all, Beijing Normal University has always insisted on elite education. Some students will ask, now is the stage of popular education, why do you still insist on elite education? No matter what education stage, elite education stage, mass education stage and re-education popularization stage in the world, high-level universities will always shoulder the cultivation of elite talents. Because the social demand for talents is hierarchical, Beijing Normal University, as a national key high-level university, must shoulder the responsibility of cultivating elites. Under the concept of elite training, we have taken a series of measures to cultivate innovative talents. First of all, Beijing Normal University is one of the national experimental projects to train top talents in basic disciplines, and it is also a project designed by the state for international leading talents. Beijing Normal University is fortunate to be a university undertaking this task. When our school enrolled students this year, some of them were directly recruited, and some of them were selected for the second time after entering the school and entered the two laboratories of arts and sciences. Science experimental class is to cultivate mathematics and physics, and humanities is to cultivate Chinese language, literature, history and philosophy. After entering the school, these students enjoy the excellent educational resources of the school, equipped with first-class teachers and guided by tutors. Design the teaching and training scheme of the connection between undergraduate and master. I hope more students will go for further study after graduation.

In addition, Beijing Normal University is also the first university in China to implement the joint training plan for high-end animation talents, which is implemented by the state to meet the social demand for high-end animation talents. These three schools are Beijing Normal University, Beijing Film Academy and China Communication University. After entering the school, the students selected again, set up experimental classes and shared the educational resources of the three schools. For example, in the first year, I trained in the basic humanities of Beijing Normal University, in the second year, I went to Beijing Film Academy for artistic edification, in the third year, I went to China Communication University to learn some animation industry and marketing, and then I went back to school in the fourth year. This plan enables students to share the resources of three schools, which is very rare in normal times.

In addition, Beijing Normal University implements a double-degree minor system to meet students' multiple choices. Nowadays, students are not only students of this major, but also have many hobbies to expand their knowledge. Some students may want to major in one major at the undergraduate stage and take another major at the postgraduate stage. They can minor in that major at the undergraduate stage to lay the foundation for future postgraduate study. Beijing Normal University attaches great importance to students' scientific research and training. In 2002, the undergraduate research fund was established, which was established earlier in colleges and universities. Support undergraduates to carry out scientific research training under the guidance of tutors. Beijing Normal University is also one of the first schools of the Ministry of Education and Beijing Innovation Experimental Plan. Some scientific research projects are also located in the department, and some scientific research projects of school teachers are also open to undergraduates. There are so many ways to support students to carry out scientific research training in undergraduate stage, which greatly improves students' quality and ability.

The school attaches great importance to foreign exchange, and we have many international cooperation projects to support students to go abroad at the undergraduate level. There are also some outstanding undergraduate graduates who can go abroad for further study through public programs of high-level universities. Like my classmate Liao Wenjun, I enjoyed the exchange program at the undergraduate stage and went out for a while, which broadened my international horizons. Many departments have implemented undergraduate tutorial system to promote and guide students' all-round development, especially when students first enter the university, they will be confused in the process of adapting to university life and need the help and guidance of seniors. Tutors can guide them to have better development in academic and scientific research. In short, these aspects are some methods to promote students' comprehensive and effective ability, so that students can lay a solid foundation for future development at the undergraduate stage.

Beijing Normal University's application experience: the most important thing is interest, giving consideration to ranking.

Be sure to choose what you like and be guided by your own interests. This is empirical talk, not empty talk. The undergraduate stage is a stage of precipitation and accumulation. In this process, if you don't like your major, how can you fully absorb knowledge and arrange your college life? Therefore, interest is particularly critical.

Moderator: I personally subscribed to the Journal of Beijing Normal University, and I will publish the school news every Friday, and I can also see what exchanges have taken place this week. Please ask Wen Jun to explain why he applied for the College of Liberal Arts when he applied for Beijing Normal University.

I came to Beijing Normal University through a competition, and I knew my interests at that time. Talk to Mr. Yu, and we'll discuss how to give advice to the candidates. We have a consensus that we must choose what we like and take our own interests as the guide. This is empirical talk, not empty talk. In my opinion, the undergraduate stage is a stage of precipitation and accumulation. In this process, if you don't like your major, how can you fully absorb knowledge and arrange your college life? Therefore, interest is particularly critical.

When I choose my major, I will also refer to the rankings of various institutions. At that time, there was a saying that I believed in professional rankings or school rankings. There was a little conflict between them. I want to give you some advice. Personally, I value school rankings. Because the undergraduate stage is a stage of broadening your horizons, your school as your platform determines your horizon. Personally, I think you need to see the city where the university is located. After all, college is your youth, and you should spend the best time in this city for four years. The cultural resources of this city largely determine the width of your life. Considering the ranking of the school, it is suggested to choose the strong major of the school, because this major can often be equipped with the best teachers, and the guidance of teachers and the strength of scientific research determine the thickness of the whole knowledge and experience. If you decide your own thickness, height and width, you can generally make a more correct choice.

Moderator: Your personal interests are well combined with the strong major of Beijing Normal University.

Liao Wenjun: I am very lucky. I entered through a special way of enrollment.

Moderator: Did your parents give you any advice when you volunteered?

Liao Wenjun: My parents let me decide for myself. I know myself better in this respect. I have always liked literature and participated in competitions. At that time, Beijing Normal University also sent teachers to interview. The teacher was very kind and introduced the literature of Beijing Normal University, knowing that Beijing Normal University has trained many famous writers. It is also very attractive to me, and I reported it without thinking.

Moderator: Teacher Yu, when you were enrolling students, did you encounter that these children chose a major that was not their interest, especially when parents forced their children to choose, and they might get a high salary in the future. Have you ever met such a student?

Yu Lihong: I should say that I experienced this example at school, both at work and at school. I also talked to Liao Wenjun today. It turns out that I am in charge of teaching. I met a teacher in our school and wanted to apply for our management department. He is an undergraduate, a master and a doctor in Peking University, and he works in Beijing Normal University to apply for a job. After work, he found that he didn't like his major at all. He studied for ten years without considering his interests. I asked him why he finished his master's and doctor's degree, and he said that all his classmates took the exam, so did I. In fact, when we accumulated the thickness, we didn't accumulate it for the later development, and the accumulation was not in the future development direction, so ten years of youth is a pity.

Another example is a candidate from Sichuan who likes literature very much. Laws were popular in society at that time. His father is a primary school teacher, so he studied law according to his father's request. When he got to the university, he found that he didn't want it. He proposed to change his major and literature. Of course it is good. At the undergraduate stage, he returned to his favorite aspect. You must have your own thinking when choosing. We didn't think much in the past, but we must think now. Students who come to Beijing Normal University to study are more likely to do academic planning for seven or ten years, then study for a master's degree and then a doctor's degree. If you don't concentrate on your major in high school, you can choose a basic subject in university and realize your academic choice or career choice in graduate school. But in any case, you should think at this stage, make a choice that suits you, and lay a more solid foundation for your future development.

Changing majors in Beijing Normal University: Try to satisfy students' first choice. There is no threshold for changing majors.

When we enter the school, we try our best to satisfy the candidates' career aspirations. Judging from the freshmen admitted to Beijing Normal University last year, 95% of the students entered the volunteer major. There are opportunities to change majors in both the first and second academic years. Students can apply by themselves at the end of the first and second academic years, and can transfer after passing the examination.

Moderator: What are the restrictions on changing majors in our school?

Yu Lihong: There are also many parents who ask about the major choice of Beijing Normal University. They have always been entangled, some don't like it, some are not interested, some are interested and afraid that they will not be able to enter the major they are interested in. This is Beijing Normal University. First of all, we try our best to meet the professional aspirations of candidates when enrolling students. Judging from the freshmen admitted to Beijing Normal University last year, 95% of the students entered the volunteer major. Candidates who apply first need not be so entangled, most of them have entered. Second, Beijing Normal University has further broadened the scope of enrollment. 10 of the 34 enrollment majors this year is a wide-caliber enrollment, and students can make a second choice after coming in, which is equivalent to another chance to choose. Can't be achieved. Beijing Normal University still has a policy of changing majors, and there are opportunities to change majors in the first and second academic years. Students can apply by themselves at the end of the first and second academic years, and can transfer after passing the examination of the major to be transferred.

This policy does not require admission, nor can the number of people who have studied in the original major transfer. Why are there no conditions? The school thinks that the reason why this student didn't learn this major well may be because he is not interested. If he has the ability, it may be better for you to give him a suitable major to develop. Therefore, changing majors should give him the opportunity to develop in a major that can better demonstrate his ability.

This major change can span the category of arts and sciences. When the college entrance examination is accepted, liberal arts candidates cannot be admitted to science majors. For example, some liberal arts students like the psychology of Beijing Normal University very much, but the psychology of Beijing Normal University only recruits science students, so some students want to change their major, and they can change their major by passing the examination of psychology major.

Employment in Beijing Normal University: Schools with an employment rate of over 99% have special guidance centers.

There is a career guidance center in Beijing Normal University, and they have accumulated a lot of experience in career planning. Therefore, there is a career planning course in the undergraduate course. In addition, there are some consulting services, and the website also provides some career development information and so on.

Moderator: When it comes to study, you may think of the postgraduate entrance examination after your senior year. Why did you choose to study abroad instead of taking the postgraduate entrance examination?

Liao Wenjun: It may be related to my own career planning. Although my major is Chinese, I love this major, but I want to develop in the direction of media in the future, and my vision abroad will be broader, where knowledge learning is more suitable. Many of my classmates in Beijing Normal University also want to go abroad. Teachers will advocate walking as much as possible in the postgraduate stage and seeing themselves clearly before making career choices. Many students around me choose to pursue further studies, perhaps for graduate school, graduate school or going abroad.

Moderator: Teacher Yu Wenjun just mentioned the problems of academic planning and career planning. Will we give some advice to students when they enter school?

Yu Lihong: Beijing Normal University has a career guidance center in its organizational setup, and psychology is another dominant discipline of Beijing Normal University. They have accumulated a lot of experience in career planning. Therefore, there is a career planning course in the undergraduate course. In addition, there are some consulting services, and the website also provides some career development information and so on. It should be said that at the school level, these high-quality resources have played a very important role in helping students make plans in this area.

Moderator: What about when you are employed?

Yu Lihong: All departments are doing it, and they will publish it on the school website. There are also some recruitment information, inviting employers to hold job fairs in schools and the like.

Compere: Does Beijing Normal University have statistics on overseas study and domestic employment?

Yu Lihong: Yes. We recruit about 2200 undergraduate students every year, but graduate students recruit 3700 or 8000. It can be seen that the focus of talent training in Beijing Normal University has moved up. The undergraduate stage of Beijing Normal University is to lay the foundation for postgraduate study. Judging from last year's situation, in addition to national defense students and other direct employment, more than 55% of the students are studying, some are admitted, some are walking, some are admitted to study abroad, and some are directly employed. The one-time employment rate reached over 99%.

Moderator: I remember Wen Jun just mentioned that he went abroad as an exchange student for one of the four years. Please introduce him.

Liao Wenjun: When I was a junior, I went to the University of Manchester in England for an exchange for a year. Beijing Normal University opened the Confucius Institute in Manchester and has been in close contact. In the past, we were free to choose all kinds of courses. You can try to choose any course you want there. Not only language training, but also the whole person's mood, vision and maturity have been greatly improved. I just came from school, and the school also has an exchange program promotion meeting. It is increasing. We used to go to one or two people at a time, but now there are five or six people. Not only in Britain, but also in Beijing Normal University, Munich University, Germany, Japan and South Korea. Together, there are two or three hundred universities with such exchange programs.
